14 DAY TRIAL // On July 28, Alan Pope, the Community Manager of Ubuntu Engineering at Canonical, published a comprehensive tutorial showing users how easy it is to port online games written in the HTML5 language to the Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system that powers several known Ubuntu phone devices.
According to Alan Pope, who loves to play games on his Ubuntu phone, it would appear that it is rather easy to port web-based HTML5 games, such as those from Code Canyon, to the Ubuntu Touch platform, using a few text files and the folder that contains the game's code written in HTML5, of course.
"I really like playing games on my phone & tablet and wanted some more games to play on Ubuntu. With a little work it turns out it’s really pretty easy to ‘port’ games over to Ubuntu phone," says Alan Pope. "I put the word ‘port’ in quotes simply because in some cases it’s not a tremendous amount of effort, so calling it a ‘port’ might make people think it’s more work than it is."
Those of you who want to contribute to the evolution of the Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system can read Alan Pope's comprehensive tutorial and learn how to port, package, and publish those awesome HTML5 games to the Ubuntu Store for Ubuntu phones. Have fun!
