A grid for a space opera game

[k4z-]

Hi all,

As our project in my formation, we must program a space opera game, with a dynamic grid to move units, etc. . .

Well, I would like to know if the html5 can help me to make this beautiful, through maybe the <canvas>?

If yes, how I can manage the compartments as objects? How I can write a nice scrolling to manipulate big map?

I've already searched on the web, but it's hard to find some documentation. . .

Thanks in advance for your help,
