gameQuery - a jQuery plugin for developing 2D games. Features include sprite animations, collision detection, sound support, keyboard polling, and more.
jQuery feels like an odd fit for game development, but the results seem to be quite impressive - see this zombie game and source code.
Even more strange is they aren’t using canvas, but rather straight up DOM manipulation. Then again, this could make for some pretty crazy game concepts - ie. games disguised as regular web pages (say a news article) with sprites that come to life out of the banner ads and wreak havoc on the other page elements. Hmmm…
