Re: Blocks++

I think at one point I decided that Blocks++ was going to be written in JavaScript, and seeing as Panther 2.0/something else was going to be written in JS too I decided to jsut make them one thing.

HTML5 is a markup language. It is used to provide content to the user.
CSS is a stylesheet language. It is used to alter presentation.
JavaScript is a scripting language. It is used to make dynamic webpages.
Together, the trio is called DHTML (dynamic html). When I say "JavaScript", I mean that I will write the majority of the code in JS (as it is a web application) and use HTML for content and CSS to style the content (although with the <canvas> element, you can provide rich presentation through exclusively JavaScript and a little HTML).

@sss as long as the application doesn't rely on a server for anything, it can be run offline as well as a locally stored copy.

And flash can be embeded in the webpage and also can work offline.
