Project TinCan
Project TinCan is a personal project i started on the 8th of November 2010. It is an attempt to port the Actionscript 3 interface to Javascript, using the interface as the basis for an interactive Javascript/HTML5 framework.
The port is currently focussed on the new HTML5 canvas element, but it might include audio and video in the near future. The latter two are excluded due to their relative poor support at the time of writing.
The name TinCan
The project lends it’s name from a tin can. The misspelling is chosen for aesthetic reason’s and for search engine findability.
Highly Experimental
The function of a tin can in daily life embodies the project’s spirit. A tin can is often used as a throwaway container or as a throw-at target at fairs. So is project TinCan. It has a high throwaway-probability due to Javascript and HTML5 their limitations (compared to Flash/Actionscript3). And i might run into Adobe saying “Stop it now or else we’ll start throwing balls at your TinCan!”. TinCannot! they be saying. To summarize: this project is highly experimental.

For anyone interested: development of project TinCan is open to the public at GitHub: github.com/Millers7/.
