That runs incredibly smoothly in Chrome, far better than on my iPod or phone when I had them :)
Yes it's very impressive, it's almost as smooth on my 2.53 Ghz dual core than it is on my 600 Mhz phone. HTML5 FTW.
Oh the irony.

Which itself is a clone of XJump from long ago..
so the whole outrage about copyright infringement is kinda...
...still an issue. being a "clone" is far less offensive than taking someone's name and artwork.
If it was just a clone called "HTML Jump" with original graphics, but the same gameplay, there would be no outrage.
Imagine if app.net called itself "twitter.net" and copied twitter's design exactly? There would (rightfully) be outrage

#43It's one thing to make a Doodle Jump-like game. But this is being called the trademarked name Doodle Jump, and you've copied the artwork straight from Doodle Jump. Seems certain this isn't an official licensed version. In which case, you should change all those items immediately. It's illegal and it's just not cool. Here are the guys you are ripping off. Igor and his brother. Igor is a very nice guy: http://allthings…
If he has created the art in photoshop himself, then no copyright is infringed even if they do look very similar. As for the name, this will only matter if the original name was trademarked. If not, he can call it whatever he wants.
It's called "substantial similarity." One of the tests is whether a "reasonable observer" would be likely to mistake one for the other.

It's nice work but the author should've used different assets and a different name.
Re: Doodle Jump Recreated in HTML5 ...with source
#44I'm not a legal professional but even though the author claims that the "logic and graphics" have been created by scratch, doesn't that make no difference to the fact that he's almost (the movement isn't as nice) recreated someone else's stuff verbatim and is claiming that it's now open source? Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice job and all, but with just a few drops of creative thought the author could be on his w…
Freedos is a clone of the old DOS systems -- so much so that it runs the old dos programs you may have lying around. And nobody seems to have a problem with that. So why should this be an issue?
Don't you think there would be a problem if Freedos renamed itself to "MS-DOS"?

I would argue that this is fair use. In any case, I'll invoke the maxim "imitation is the highest form of flattery" as an argument. Why do so many people new to game development make (and are encouraged to make) Pacman clones, Snake clones, Tetris clones, Asteroids clones (one is still on the front page with no shouts of "copyright infringement!!!"), etc.? Because they're fun, respected games that are easy to clone w…
Fair use? For your own sake I highly recommend you take a class on copyright law. I don't say that to be mean. Copyright law is both complicated and important. But if you think that's fair use then you risk fucking yourself or your employer.
This is a good (and free) introduction to copyright law from MIT (4 lectures): http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

where did you find him ripping Pacman off? If true (I searched through his sites, but couldnt find anything relevant), this would be like the comment of the month to me :)
Also, just like being a "nice guy" or "an asshole" would make a difference, whether or not its OK to rip someone off...
Re: Doodle Jump Recreated in HTML5 ...with source
#47Congratulations, I couldn't tell the difference to the original version of doodle jump. I read here that a lot of people are worried, because you recreated a game which is protected by copyright, but I wouldn't worry too much, because you don't earn money with the game and did it for fun. But still, it would be the better choice if you had released it under a nickname instead of your real name.
Stealing someone's name and graphics is OK if you use a nickname?
to be fair, they didn't say it would be ok. they said it would be a better choice. which is probably the case.

his comment is nonsensical. it doesn't have anything to do with anything. not sure where he got to pacman.
