Hello Friends, I'd like to introduce you to a new project I started recently. Its called Warp. The idea is to create an app that helps you building HTML5 games by taking away some of the obstacles for beginners - as well as making life easier for the more advanced developers. The Warp app acts most basically as a zero-config static HTTP server. This means you hit a browse button and select a folder on your harddrive that contains a index.html file. After that, you hit the start button. Warp enables its built-in HTTP server and makes that folder accessable within your browser. It even opens your browser for you when you hit start This takes away the task of downloading a [W/L]AMP server package that needs to be configured and secured and forces you to keep all your projects within its htdocs or www folder structure. Warp doesn't give you serverside scripting, but most HTML5 games don't use that stuff anyways. On the other hand its not impossible to integrate something in that direction into Warp in the future. My vision of Warp goes much further than just serving files to the browser via HTTP. I dream of an application that helps you getting started by maintaining project templates and scaffolds new game projects for you. Warp will be able to start new projects for you by creating a basic folder structure and placing the most recent version of Phaser (and maybe other engines) for you. In the final stage, Warp will list all devices that are currently accessing the game, displaying device information, the current game framerate on that device and a global console for logging messages and errors of all devices - your personal developer dashboard. Take a look at the git repo, download the sources and make your custom build of Warp 1 if you can't wait to try it out. And please participate here and tell me what you think about Warp, the direction its going and of course what ideas you have in mind that might be also worth implementing (I can't promise to implement everything, tough). You can download pre-build binaries of Warp for: Windows Mac OS

From today I am getting a Blocked loading mixed active content message whenever the page uses an external url and var s = document.createElement("script"); s.src = url; document.head.appendChild(s); This affects a number of PGs including, among others, Jerome's dynamic terrain PGs. This seems to be because the playground is now delivering all pages using https. Is this a recent change? When this happens the PG can be unblocked using the lock icon next to the PG address. This is annoying. If security demands https then in future all demonstrations of new functions will require the direct placement of the new functions as code within the PG editor, Can this decision to deliver all PG pages by https be reversed or are security concerns such that delivery for all PGs must now use https?

Hi all, my first post so I'm new aorund here I was looking over the internet for any resources about creating a multiplayer game with http protocol and not web sockets (for which is plenty of resources). I'm realizing that game can't be fast paced, but thats not my case, I would really like to see some example of created game with http protocol like blog, tutorial or book. Thanks for help.
