All speakers are requested to be available for officehours during the conference. This will be a scheduled 30 minute block of time during which attendees can meet you at a designated space for open Q&A offstage.

There is only one speaker per session. Attendance is free for selected speakers. HasGeek will cover your travel to and accommodation in Bangalore from anywhere in the world for speakers delivering full sessions (30 minutes or longer). As our budget is limited, we will prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. If you are able to raise support for your trip, we will count that as speaker travel sponsorship.

Commitment to open source #

HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source license. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licenses (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognize that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.

Non Accepted Proposals #

If your proposal is accepted for a session > 30 minutes long, we will cover your event ticket.

If your proposal is not accepted, you can buy a ticket at the same rate as was available on the day you proposed. We’ll send you a code.

Building Native Android Games with Javascript using Game Closure

Submitted Sep 16, 2013

Section: Games Technical level: Beginner

Learn how to use Game Closure to build native performing mobile(iOS & Android) games just by using javascript and web technologies.

Outline #

Game Closure is a javascript/HTML5 based framework for making games that will work on both iOS and Android. The framework was in development for 2 years and now has been opensourced.

One of the biggest problems when developing for the mobile is learning multiple languages and understanding each platform. But we have been developing for the web with javascript and HTML5 canvas is also becoming popular with most browsers supporting it.

The framework leverages this popularity so that mobile games can be built easier and much faster just by using javascript and canvas. Even the tools that gameclosure provides are very similar to how we develop web apps.

In this talk we’ll look in-depth on how to creating amazing games with game closure. The talk will cover understanding the framework, difference between existing frameworks, it’s tools and understanding how to extend the framework.

Requirements #

Knowledge about HTML5 Canvas and Javascript would be useful

Speaker bio #

I’m one of the founders at HashCube and we make games on Facebook and Mobile.
We’ve used web technologies to create all our games and are quite javascript heavy. We’ve used a lot of popular javascript frameworks and tools like Backbone, node.js and gameclosure along the way.
