Game Development using the Yahoo! User Interface

As with many people that get into programming, I started programming because I wanted to make video games (in-fact I have had a few games published about 10 years ago). Now that I am in the web development industry, I from time to time like to look at the developments in Video Game development as it pertains to the web.

The Yahoo! User Interface is a great library for development of JavaScript based applications, including Ajax applications. The library has quite a few methods to help with animation that can be very useful in developing games. Today, I'm not going to go into much detail on using the library to make a game (this will be in a later post), however, I do want to show you how well these games can look.

Check out the below games that where made using the Yahoo! User Interface.

I was amazed at how close these games are to their Flash counterparts. Of course the advantage to using JavaScript over flash is that no plug-in is required to play the game.

You can read more about the Yahoo! User Interface here.

If you've seen any other cool games built using the Yahoo! User Interface I would love to hear about it. If you sign up for a free account you can blog about it on this blog or you can leave them in the comments.
