Canvas 2D is hardware accelerated in Chrome, Firefox and IE9, is it not? But I think what you're saying is that WebGL can still be much faster. Google demo-ed at I/O this year, how when an animation is done in WebGL it can be 10x faster than in Canvas 2D.
I believe Angry Birds is done in WebGL, but also falls back to Canvas 2D for browsers (or computers) that don't support WebGL.
- robin_reala 15y agoiOS 5 will accelerate Canvas 2D as well.
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoChrome has it a bit hidden[1] as it seems to be a bit buggy. I haven't seen Firefox/Opera with this currently supported. But I believe it is a matter of time until all major browsers fully support hardware accelerated canvas2d by default. I like that with projects like this you don't have to wait 2/3 months: you can use it now.
