quick question.. waht API if any does our html5 target use ? If its something proprietary from BRL then whats it called ?

Would I be right in that it uses the GTK api ?, just having a little troll through the native target files...

HTML5 target uses Canvas for drawing, LocalStorage for SaveState/LoadState and Audio for sounds. That's all.

The Monkey HTML5 native target code is actually Java script which in turn needs a HTML script written in the version 5 specification to work. Now I'm no java or DOM guru, but the gtk stuff in the native java script code in the modules to me looks just like a class name, probably just wrapper to bind it with monkey module source files. The real work is done by the web browser which has to support the HTML5 specs. For the HTML5 stuff you should read the wikki which explains it better than I could. Edit: As to the question of it being proprietary and what it is called, then the answer is... Yes it's by BRL and it's called Monkey ;-)

if you're referring to the stuff that's prefixed 'gxtk', most of that stuff appears to be vestigial leftovers from one of Mark's earlier projects, Game Developers ToolKit

Java script <> Javascript!
