Making my game

I have decided to make a game, I already got down the plot, but there is much to be done.

First thing I want to do is, select my tool for the job, I want my game to be inside of the browser, so pygame isn’t an option for me right now.

These are the tools I have thought of using.

HTML5+JS:

Pros:

• Will give me something to play with javascript on.
• No plugins are needed if a players browser supports the HTML5 canvas and javascript(and has it enabled).
• Well documented on sites like MDN and Dev.Opera.
• An excellent opportunity to use HTML5′s canvas.

Cons:

• Javascript, which is not always liked.
• The canvas is still unsupported in some browsers.

Panda3d:

Pros:

• Works with a lot of browsers.
• Opensource.
• It uses python, which is a language I am familiar with and enjoy using.
• Works well in, and outside of the browser window.

Cons:

• A bit of performance issues.
• Plugin, not really worth it at the moment because the game I am making is 2d; I’m going to make a 3d game in the future and I might use panda.

Java or Jython applet

Pros:

• Simple.
• I already know the basic syntax if I decide to use Jython(which is just an implementation of Python with the same syntax as CPython).
• Opensource(Well, Jython is, I don’t know if java is opensource and I’m too lazy to check at the moment )
• Works in a lot of browsers

Cons:

• Plugin.
• Am I really going to use an applet for a game?

SVG+JS
Pros:

• Cross-browser
• No plugins needed, in most cases.
• Also well documented.
• A good opportunity to use SVG and JS.

Cons:

• Javascript, which is not always liked.
• Not always supported.

I decided on HTML5′s canvas, may not end well.
