I'm asking myself what the minimum system requirements for those web tech demos are. Until some time ago I had an old Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro from 2009 and whenever I tried running something like this the browser came to a halt.
I assumed that it was because of my ancient hardware. But now I got a new Haswell i5 quadcore system and the game still locks up my browser.
So where's the secret to being able to enjoy these tech demos?
- Lagged2Death 13y agoI've got a Core 2 Duo from 2006 and it runs great on Firefox 25. Until you get stuck in the middle of a word that's off-screen (or something) and you can't tell what letter it's demanding you must type next and you die on level 22 (normal). Needs a better font, especially for the single letters. And a better way of seeing what character is next when you miss one.
- deckiedan 13y agoThat's really odd. I'm running on a atom 1.6ghz chromebook (running ubuntu/linux/firefox) and it works great.
- sirsar 13y agoWhat OS and browser are you using? Firefox and Chrome do much better with JS than the rest.
- phoboslab 13y agoHTML5/Canvas games are mostly bound by drawing performance. Modern browsers use hardware acceleration where available, but it could very well be that your GPU is black listed for missbehaving OpenGL drivers. Intel GPUs are the worst offender here. If you have proper hardware acceleration, a game like this should run fluidly even on low end systems. Case in point: the similar looking X-Type ( http://phoboslab.org/xtype/ http://phoboslab.org/xtype/ ) runs with a steady 60fps on an iPhone4S.
- _random_ 13y agoJavaScript is not universal unfortunately. You have to run specific versions of browsers from specific vendors to make it work properly. E.g. Chrome v. 30 by Google.
