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?

Nice posting! Games using WebGL and WebSockets is a nice perspective. I made a RTS-game demo using WebGL http://pl4n3.blogspot.com/2010/03/towards-webrt..., I also plan to integrate websockets for the multiplayer-part.

Nice post! I'd like to add Kaazing WebSocket Gateway to the list of implementations. It's a production-ready WebSocket Gateway. The best part? It has emulation for all the older browsers (Anything other than Chrome right now), so you can already use WebSocket APIs today.
