Ah modern technology: using 1000x faster hardware to run 30 year old code at the same speed, but in a browser!
- pjmlp 9y agoThat is what I think every time I see WebGL demos that most of the time remind me of Voodoo or Amiga demos, but hey it is on the browser!
- mtanski 9y agoYou have accelerated graphics on any modern browser, on any OS, on any CPU architecture. I'll rag on JS as much as the next person but you have to admit 1) that's a pretty big feat 2) it's not an apples to apples comparison.
- pjmlp 9y agoThis is not true, because I have a couple of devices with pefectly fine working OpenGL ES 3.x GPUs where the browsers either don't support any form of WebGL or the FPS are a single digit number. Really, the 2nd coming of VRML.
