Out of curiosity, I believe there are some users here that have atleast some basic and/or intermediate knowledge about jQuery.
My question is, what are really the benefits, pros and cons of using jQuery? Let's say I'd want to create a platformer and chose to use jQuery, is it a good or a bad choice?

Re: Curious about jQuery
JQuery is not a game engine. It is more of a framework to make using javascript easier.

Thanks, I found later on that it was a powerful library to support JavaScript. I'm currently learning JavaScript and switched over to jQuery, following a book.hallsofvallhalla wrote:JQuery is not a game engine. It is more of a framework to make using javascript easier.
I like it so far
Re: Curious about jQuery
jQuery makes a lot of JavaScript functionalities more easy.
And if you are looking towards building some games,
there is a 'project' called gameQuery that is a jQuery based 'game engine' or something.

Re: Curious about jQuery
I would use node.js instead of jQuery for a game like that.

Re: Curious about jQuery
I do not recommend GameQuery. There are so many better engines.
