The selectors API and classList property were added to the DOM to select html elements and modify css classes assigned to them in a more convinient way. If you used special libraries or frameworks to do these things, you can consider now using only pure JavaScript.

One of the most important issues in multimedia and game programming for any platform is the ability to measure the performance of your code on devices. You can do it by using diagnostic tools like profiling managers  (for example in the Google Chrome browser) or by using third party libraries dedicated to the measurement of efficiency.

Introduction

The article will demonstrate how to create some popular graphical elements of a 2D game using the EFL library in a Tizen Native Application. The topic presented here is based on the code of a sample game which was simplified in order to focus on elements such as an animated background, creating elements using 9-slice scaling, animations using sprites and making simple effects imitating three-dimensionality. 

Introduction

The article will demonstrate how to make animations in the Tizen Native Applications. The aim of the article is to present the possibilities offered by the EFL library which is responsible for building the GUI of Tizen native applications. We would like to present the subject in a concise way and using lots of sample code. The knowledge gained after reading this article can be used both for game development as well, as to implement interesting effects in the user interface.

Modern web browsers have many new JavaScript features which often stay unknown for developers because they are accustomed to use some utility libraries or frameworks with adequate functionality. Tizen platform equipped with modern web runtime gives you a chance to use these new features without worrying about problem of cross-browser compatibility or efficiency. In this article we want to show you the new methods of iteration over an array which were introduced with ECMAScript 5.1.

Introduction

The article will demonstrate how to use built-in sensors such as the gyroscope or accelerometer in Tizen Native applications. The topic presented here is based on the code of a sample game which was simplified in order to focus on a particular part of the Tizen Native API.

The article was created for developers who have basic knowledge of the C programming language. Developers reading this article should have basic knowledge about the Tizen native application life cycle as well.
