Player.IO library for JavaScript

Since there's now a JavaScript client library for Player.IO, couldn't original EE be remade in HTML5 with <canvas>? To me, that seems much easier than making the entire thing all over again.

It's not easier. Sure you can remake the whole thing in js, I even have the original source code, but it won't solve the main problem. EE code is garbage upon garage of bad code collected over the years by various programmers. Even if you remake ee in js, it still will lag, less than in flash, but not lag free.

Remaking ee on the other hand gives you a possibility to make a proper ee without bad code

By "remaking the original EE" I meant totally and completely remaking the client from scratch while still keeping the Player.IO backend. Remaking it from scratch gives the developers a chance to not make garbage code and make totally new code.

Also, what do you mean you have the original source code? Do you mean you have the source for the flash game?

Re: Player.IO library for JavaScript

If you gonna remake ee it's better to put pio aside. There are a lot of problems with pio such as a number of security holes, not enough control over your game, etc.

I am former ee staff member, I have the source code, but of course I am not sharing it.
