Why is it so amazing if something runs in a browser? Why don't we think about other solutions like making native apps more web-like?
What's amazing is that something that runs in the browser will run on every platform where there is a browser (with some proper care of the inevitable small standard deviations). No such luck with native apps.
- tjoff 15y agoYeah, with native apps you have to run a script that compiles it for all platforms.
- Klinky 15y agoWhat magic script lets you natively compile OpenGL code for Mac, Linux, Windows & portable platforms without having to write any platform specific code?
- tjoff 15y agoWho said anything about not having to write any platform specific code? "with some proper care of the inevitable small standard deviations" Is exactly what I would say is required to make a game run on different platforms. It of course depends on what you want to do, but if you limit yourself to the subset that is the browser there shouldn't be any real problems at all.
