I would never have given Javascript a second's glance when it comes to games, even a few months ago. Now that I've seen Google's Javascript Pacman, I'm really interested. I've been using Jquery to satisfy my Javascript needs but I'd really like to get into a framework that, well, lets me create something like Google's pacman! I'm not sure what they wrote that in, if it's GWT then I'm lost for words. Does anyone know any really good Cpp/Java Javascript frameworks where I can make an application as good as Google's pacman?

http://kynto.com/ is javascript. Pretty impressive considering it's an MMO.

I don't understand how it's all accomplished with a single thread though, it's crazy.

JS is just used mainly for pathfinding. The rest is server-side.

I've seen a lot written using the HTML5 Canvas element (maybe even google pacman). Disadvantage is it's not currently supported by one of the most popular browsers (guess which one).

it's possible to make a game in java like this, javascript is different and would have it's limits.

Kynto is now written in AS3. Javascript is used for the API I believe.
