The main aim of this article is to get you familiar with the mobile web game development on Tizen platform. I want to show you that basic knowledge of Canvas 2D API and good game architecture is sufficient to create a fully working version of HTML5 game on Tizen. Sample application – Earth Guard 0.0.1 attached to this article is compatible with Tizen SDK 2.0.0 public release.
