Abstract
This chapter deals with adapting games to different devices. Until now, you’ve been developing examples that will only work on devices that have a keyboard and a mouse, such as laptop or desktop machines. One of the nice things about JavaScript programs is that they also run on smartphones and tablets, which currently is a booming market.
