dennis Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Heya guys, Is it possible to add WebGL into my game? So people can play at places such as school, work or just on a computer which isn't allowed to install such thing as a game. I like to hear the answer have a nice weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Kill Kenny Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nope Quote STS - Scarlet Thread Studios AKA: Engineer Ken Fact: Game Development is hard... very bloody hard..

Canardia Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 But you can make a single exe game with Leadwerks, even with Lua, like I described in the Articles. That doesn't need any installation, just click on link and it starts.

Josh Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I could lie and say "we're very excited about the possibilities of WebGL and look forward to when it is ready" but the fact is it only executes Javascript and is pretty much useless. The game industry is built on native code. Javascript lacks the performance and flexibility to handle our physics, sound, logic, pathfinding, etc. The best option from a business standpoint is Flash and the best option from a technical standpoint is Google Native Client (big thumbs up from me, at least in theory). Both of these options simply provide the sandboxed installation route Windows has failed to implement. So people can play at places such as school, work or just on a computer which isn't allowed to install such thing as a game. They ARE installing your game, through a different route, but I understand what you mean. It's a pretty dire situation when Windows has effectively become a platform that does not support third-party applications.

ChrisMAN Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I am not a computer scientist, but I am extremely cautious about saying javascript isn't fast. V8 is amazing. I don't think there is a VM that gets more love than V8 except for maybe Java. Ecma 6 is going to have type hinting and native map reduce. I think there going to be control over the GC too. Plus as a rule of thumb: never bet against web and javascript. A ton of languages are targeting javascript now. https://github.com/kripken/emscripten https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/bananabread Granted being said I wouldn't bet on it right now. A couple years maybe. A game is something you can force a user to use a real browser(not < ie 9) to use. It is going to get interesting though.
