Ok so I've been working on a new HTML5/Canvas/JS Game that's compatible for the 3DS Web Browser.

I intend to implement dual screen support in the future.

Right now it's mostly a Tech Demo so features aren't really added yet, but I wanted to get some feedback about how it functions on other 3DS's before I continue. I do see this hitting other platforms in the future but just working out some game mechanics for the time being.

This is all new to me, so bare with the cheezy paint graphics till I am ready to update.

I'll post more info on features I plan to add later (unfortunately I think the 3DS version will be more limited than the rest for obvious technical restraints).

Enjoy and please leave some feedback......... go easy on me!

I'm working on one right now, It's holding back my design mainly because I'm doing a top down shooter.

I haven't figured a way to implement the onFocus to success yet.

JS/CSS/Canvas is still new to me, but I'm catching on pretty quick.

Was thinking of doing a top screen for gameplay and for added controls simulate button functions on the touch screen or make that a inventory/options menu at least as in that snake game that is driving me mad. LOL

I just can't get the up and down to register as something other than pan up pan down, so OnFocus will be my saving grace when I work it out. That and I'm playing around with anchors/absolute position variables. (excuse my ignorance of such said things)I'm just happy to have a tech demo down in the last 2 weeks considering my lack of knowledge.

Just downloaded it from eShop.

What does this mean for the 3ds to all of you? Possibilities ? BS?

Thanks so much, didn't mean to say you needed help :P

Just figured the link for res's would be good for most mobile gaming development design and layout.

Awesommmmmmmmmme now im going to go play around with it!

Sorry for the double post but I just wanted to link to some interesting stuff.


Window binding (still moves too much for me which is why I was asking, but doable for a sidescroller perhaps)

Good for testing web page res's.

I tried to base my layout like Snakes but it failed hard lol, well not horrible for 3 days of actually doing anything.

Do you think he's using the absolute to keep it?


#container { position: absolute; background-color: black; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 400px; height: 480px; }
#topscreen { position: absolute; background-color: white; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 400px; height: 240px; overflow: hidden; }
#bottomscreen { position: absolute; background: white url(logo.png) no-repeat 20px 50px; top: 240px; left: 40px; width: 320px; height: 240px; overflow: hidden; }

Great! I'm in the middle of working out a 3ds browser game (getting use to the setup first).

The resolutions are pretty confusing considering there are so many options to resize with.

I'm trying to format a good layout for my screens but am having a hard time lining them up.It seems like everyone uses different resolutions.

TMJ tech demo 9 is one screen at
306x214

Maze
300x224

Nekos
300x214 (I'm a fan of 320x212 don't ask why though)

Tumbler(car one)
420x482 @ 2 Screens though

and I believe platypus Platformer was
385x432

So would my "Window" resolution of 400x480

Top 400x220(240?)
Bottem= 320x240

Yeah, gotta love chrome, I've been staring at code for the last three days and have a lot of progress exploring the potential of a HTML5/CSS/JS Game.

I really appreciate the reply, I'm going to pass out let me know if you have any suggestions, this way I'd have a tech template for future games (as far as resolution).

I noticed your paint app screen barely moves with the D-Pad if you don't mind, I'd love to know how you did that.

Good Work.

I was playing the snake game and I am trying to figure out how the screens are locked while using the D-Pad.

In my game if I move with the d-pad it pans the screen and bounces back using the :

<meta name='viewport'content='width=320'content='height=212'/><style>

I'm tried different variations any help would be great, it's the only thing holding me back.
