Nice posting! Games using WebGL and WebSockets is a nice perspective.

It looks like webgl is more promising…

Nice post, however i think you are being very optimistic here. I think this will rather take 4-5 years instead of 2. Especially since your post in now roughly a year old and not much has changed, the next browser generation still hasnt arrived in a stable form.

Furthermore id like to add that most modern games use UDP while WebSockets use TCP/IP which is not well suited for games. You might do some simple games with that, but any real time multiplayer games dont work that well.

Still interesting tech, but it will take some more years to mature.

Aha great post this, cheers, helps me get started here.

Yes it seems that the WebGL framework hackers, having got things drawing, are rightfully turning their attention now to the backend. I just added Sockets to SceneJS as well: http://scenejs.wikispaces.com/SceneJS.Socket - early days - comments appreciated!

Pl4n3 - whoah - looking forward to seeing how you implement the game logic/protocol etc! PS Your demo works good for me in Chromium build #51510

Hi, i just updated Minfield to the latest version here (3.7a4pre), and the demo runs without problems. Currently cannot reproduce the error :/ Hopefully later, as WebGL gets more stable, this might resolve itself.

Hey, I tried the RTS demo with the latest Minefield nightly (3.7pre4 I thin), yet I got exactly same error as Brit.

Thanks, also for the RT The RTS currently runs here with Firefox 3.7 (Minefield) nightly. Yesterdey it also worked with Chrome, but today WebGL could not initiate there, strange..

Hey Pl4n3 — awesome that you're working on an RTS in WebGL! Your demo throws an error in Webkit nightlies, though — “Error: 0:3: 'uniform' : cannot initialize this type of qualifier” (with wegGL enabled)

Which browser are you recommending for the demo?
