Spelunky HTML5

So I had some time on my hands this weekend and made major headway on porting the PC version of Spelunky to HTML5. You can play it here.

A lot of people don’t know this, but the original Spelunky was made in GameMaker, and almost a year ago, YoYo Games released GameMaker HTML5 (now GameMaker Studio). This lets you take a GameMaker game and compile it to JavaScript so that it runs in a modern web browser.

In theory this should be a one-button process, but for a complex game like Spelunky it’s a bit harder.
