In the past month or so I been diving into JavaScript (played with also C++, PHP, Python, and a couple others) programming and the use of HTML5 to create games. However, I stumbled upon this and does EXACTLY and I do mean EXACTLY what I been wanting to do concerning making retro games. I'm mostly a pixel artist (done a lot of retro 8-bit work), and any workload like this to make things more comfortable as a game developer really helps a lot! I've actually used a couple game engines but mostly curious about making my own types of engines, I will say seeking to improve upon this library will be an awesome experience (when experienced in the language of course... :P). I do have a question concerning the fonts though, seeing as I might end up using them for the retro feel. Are they proprietary? I don't want to get sued for using a font, so making my own isn't really a problem for me. Though the bonus of using a universal one for my future retro games would be really nice, as I see it to be kind of silly to "reinvent"' them. I also noticed you guys put a "networking would be nice" as a note somewhere in your documentation. Might I suggest looking into node.js (server sided) and WebSockets? It would be really interesting to get this to be a possible networking game library in the distant future. I just hope its popularity won't ever result in a "sell out" like a couple HTML5 engines have gone (the one bought by Zynga?). If that ever be the case, I would love to take the library and fork it as a new project (would this be even possible in such a scenario?). So far, this happens to be one of the few stable and well written libraries out there that is designed for my specific use (that I know of, and is open / free). Anyway, awesome stuff. I'm going to read these tutorials. First off, let me just say thanks to the documentation!
