Tiles can work for a variety of games. Dan Neame shows you how to build a tile-based HTML5 game that will run on various browsers.
In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how you can create 2D tile-based games using HTML5. With the game area defined by a simple map, we'll look into making playable 'agents' to walk around the level, see how to extend these agents into 'mobs' using pathfinding and learn how to render the game to the screen with different types of Renderer. From desktop PC to mobile phone, by splitting up responsibilities appropriately you can create flexible games that will work on any device with a browser.
