Silver, would it be possible to put a text label over the head of a player and have it move with the player? Would make it much easier to recognize people.
Sure, you could have another div element inside the "playerDiv" element and change the innerHTML property with JavaScript to display the name. Something like this:
element = document.getElementById('playerNameDiv');
element.innerHTML = player.name;
If you wanted the name to display above the player's sprite image, you'd have to change the value of "overflow" for "playerDiv" in "interfaceStyles.css" to "visible". Then just give it an negative "top" sub value of "style".
Wow that's awesome.
I'm looking through tutorials on the canvas element. I think it'll be awesome. In fact it'd be awesome if Silver gave it a whirl.
So far the only thing that excites me about HTML5 is the native video playing capabilities. I'm quite a casual web developer, not into the bells and whistles.
