So where are the libraries for making games with canvas? There's Akibahara, but it's pretty opinionated (not that there's anything wrong with that) - I'd love to see more diversity of approaches.
As warfangle pointed out, I'm not working on Diggy anymore. Reason being: I'm working on a canvas JS engine now! :D Might have something ready for other developers in a few weeks ...
You do all the drawing yourself, it doesn't add another layer as such to that, it just helps with scheduling background tasks, keeping a smooth time stepping, sounds, etc. It's very buggy though, with very little documentation and no tests…but please do check it out if you're thinking about creating a Canvas based game soon, it's not that complicated! :)
(btw, it doesn't require Ruby, I just use sinatra to serve all the files easier!)

Dammit, and now the wait for Puzzle Quest 2 will be even more unbearable.
Also: Puzzle Quest 2 is out now! I've been playing it on DS :)
