Presentation
HTML5 is a technology coming into its own and truly starting to develop. Within a special edition entirely dedicated to HTML game development, one of the articles covers the development of an isometric game without using a specific framework.
Why an HTML5 Article on a Python Site?
Why, you might ask, an article purely dedicated to HTML5 on a Python-oriented site?
Quite simply because while Python is an indispensable language, no web developer can rely on it alone. It is absolutely necessary to have other strings to your bow. HTML5 is decidedly the future of the web, and it is therefore particularly important to get started with it. So, what better way than developing a little game to begin?

Isometric Game
For the last article of the magazine, sources are made available and the game is playable online.
It is up to you to get your hands on HTML5 and have some fun modifying the game to your taste.
By the way, the game's graphic elements were made with the outstanding InkScape software, which has a dedicated GNU/Linux magazine special edition. There too, resources are available for download.
