Random Javascript point and click game demo in alpha quality. Uses sprites ripped from Diablo 2. Other sprites from an unknown source. Not actually Diablo. Not anywhere close.

I thought it was really neat, I don't know what all your hate is about. I also like that the source code is friendly looking and you could show it to somebody new to coding to inspire them.

It's not hate. It's pointing out that it's not Diablo in JavaScript.

Cool, I guess. No instructions what-so-ever. Can we get some documentation on keys to use?

It appears to be Chrome only which might explain your problem with controls... Edit: Yes, I did only test in Firefox and Chrome. According to the comments below, it appears to work for modern browsers except Firefox.

Works fine in Safari.

Works in IE10. Why do you say Chrome only?

Maybe he just tried Firefox and Chrome like me?

One the one hand - great. On the other hand - we've been there ten years ago.

This is pretty cool. It's obvious it's not a 1:1 port of the original, but still fun and entertaining.

It's not that bad. If you go behind a building, it becomes transparent. Pretty close to Diablo. Of course it's a demo not meant to be a full blown game.

It's possible to point that out without being a total jerk.
