WebGL Grand Theft Auto
- friggeri 14y agoUsing the latest Chrome dev (20.0.1123.1 dev, OSX 10.7.3), I've been stuck on a black screen for the past 15 minutes. I do see the number of FPS and there are some x/y/z values which change in the top right when I press the arrows on my keyboard. Rendering issue ?
- vladev 14y agoExactly the same on Firefox 12 and Chromium 18.
- jdub 14y agoIt loaded for me after a while. Ran around a bit. It's a cute demo / experiment.
- niklasvh 14y agoThe loading time could be significantly lowered if the files would be converted into a more accessible format for JavaScript. Especially the sprites/textures, if they would pre-processed into PNG's or something more understandable by javascript, the loading time could already be dropped by a second or two.
- azakai 14y agoWorks fine here, FF15 on Ubuntu w/NVidia, 60fps.
- untog 14y agoIt worked for me after I clicked the screen, not sure why. It's GTA1/2 rather than GTA3, if anyone was curious. Still cool, but slightly less impressive.
- niklasvh 14y agoWhat kind of graphics card you got?
- friggeri 14y agoIntegrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB (note that your demo does work here with the latest Firefox Aurora)
- calloc 14y agoChrome on OS X 10.6.8, worked with no issues after giving it a minute or two.
- Selfcommit 14y agoPlayed for 10min, couldn't find 1 car to jack. Disappointment level = Huge. (Seriously Very cool WebGL stuff going on though!)
- niklasvh 14y agoThere are 3 cars, none of them stealable though :(
- dysoco 14y agoThis is just a demo, an AMAZING demo, where you expecting a completly playable game ? OK: I also was, but I was not dissapointed, mainly because it's OpenSource, it'll become a complete game soon.
- potatolicious 14y ago> "mainly because it's OpenSource, it'll become a complete game soon" You must be new to open source game projects...
- spuz 14y agoOn Ubuntu 11.10 and Chrome 18.0.1025.168, this just completely killed the OS. As soon as the tab loaded, the mouse froze and the display stopped updating. I couldn't even enter a separate TTY session (ctrl-alt-F6 for example). At least this has apparently exposed a big security issue in the browser.
- runeks 14y agoWhat video card do you have, and what driver are you using for this video card?
- BonsaiDen 14y agoWorks well here on 10.04 with a Nvidia GT530 (propr. drivers)
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIt's not really a browser security issue. It's just that Linux graphics drivers suck horribly, and so they create security issues and crashes everywhere.
- gcp 14y agoChrome and Firefox already wrap all WebGL calls through ANGLE to avoid real exploits. Of course the driver being retarded enough to lock up is not something that can prevent.
- DanI-S 14y agoI've been playing with WebGL via the THREE.js[1] library and I'm really gobsmacked. It's relatively easy, and a lot of fun to play with. I've noticed that a lot of the demos people have created so far are rendering a simple scene, or trying to build a game engine. I'm looking forward to more people building user interfaces that make use of 3D for data visualization and user interaction. 3D has literally never been so accessible.

- darien 14y agoThe 3D Globe WebGL library created by google is an awesome example of data visualization. With the blessing of the reddit folks, I populated some Google Analytics data into it. http://www.webgl.com/2012/03/webgl-globe-visualization-reddit-traffic-for-3rd-neil-degrasse-tyson-ama/ http://www.webgl.com/2012/03/webgl-globe-visualization-reddi...
- DanI-S 14y agoThat's very impressive, and I'm going to be playing with that globe this evening :)
- talmand 14y agoAnother aspect that makes WebGL projects like this even more useful is that you can right-click and save what you are currently seeing as an image.
- emddudley 14y agoI love that as well.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoDo all browsers support that?

- Rudism 14y agoI still remember using NCSA Mosaic on my Mac Classic to browse the web in the '90s. Back then there were two ways to lay out your website: tables, or no layout at all. All I'm saying is, we've come a long way.
- nixle 14y agoHow do I get into CAR??
- niklasvh 14y agoYou can't
- prophetjohn 14y agoWorks fine in OS X Lion and Chrome. There are some bugs, though. For instance if I walk off a ledge into the ocean, I just keep walking in mid-air suspended above the ocean. Pretty cool either way.
- kelnage 14y agoAs it happens, this bug was somewhat in the original version of GTA. Whilst walking over water would kill you, if you tapped the jump button, you'd never fall. This could allow you to reach areas otherwise impossible to reach - just find a high enough building, run off the edge and tap jump until you reach your desired location!
- niklasvh 14y agoThere is no physics implemented on the z-axis yet.
