This sure is impressing, but nobody said Flash doesn't have some good features. The question is about whether anybody who wants to can implement a player for this page.

    Neat. This example is nowhere near as pretty as the Flash examples, but it's interesting that my CPU is barely doing anything even when walking around. In the Flash version my CPU is pegged just sitting there doing nothing.
