Google Swiffy - Flash to HTML5 Converter

Google has launched its new service called Google Swiffy in the labs. Google was constantly involved in development of HTML5. HTML5 was revolutionary and has so many new capabilities that the flash contents are no longer needed as these can be coded using HTML5 tags along with some JavaScript. HTML5 enabled animations and interactivity in browsers and devices that did not support flash. Even the iPhone's iOS doesn't support Flash and hence HTML5 is a sigh of relief for the iPhone users.

If you have a website with lot of Flash objects and if you're worried of the new HTML5 invasion, then you don't have to worry anymore. Answer is Google Swiffy. Google Swiffy is a flash to HTML5 converter. It is still in its early version and hence not yet ready to convert complicated SWFs (flash files) to HTML5 and it may take some time for it to convert flash games and programs. But you can easily convert simple banners and animations that you have in SWF formats. Just upload the SWF file and get the HTML code. By converting SWF to HTML5, you can make your website view-able on any browser that supports SVG, JavaScript and CSS3.

I just wish this comes out of the labs as a fully fledged SWF-to-HTML5 converter.

Ben Joffe's Tetris in HTML5

The traditional game of Tetris was introduced first in Russia during the 1980s and still happens to be one of the most popular game among the kids. Any teenage kid you find around would know what Tetris is. Since it's original release, there have been many versions of it tweaking the way game is played. Of them not many intrigued my attention but while I was digging up for some html5 games, I happened to find this peculiarly different version of Tetris developed by Ben Joffe and called Torus. The game's tag line goes like this -

"Round, like a circle in a spiral. Like a wheel within a wheel."

So what's so peculiar about this?

This is a 3D Tetris unlike the old traditional plain Tetris. It is called Torus. I've been playing this for last 1 hour and it looks interesting to me. And a good work of HTML5. Just another example of what html5 can do.

Start here to play the game.
