Look at the 3D web browser who will start in 3 or 4 month: WebGL

webgl exposes OpenGL ES to javascript. i doubt jcl will port the engine to javascript.

google's native client is much more interesting for engines like a8:

it also exposes OpenGL ES but from c/c++ and the code gets compiled to run in a secure sandbox within the browser.

Are you telling me the everybody from the site below who adopt WebGl are Dumb

WebGL is not only javascript, it's c++,and , many other, it's connected direcytly to the Gpu OpenCl like a Plug an Play.

Programing in a high way make a good engine yeah c++ after we script.

I have not much trust in webgl working very well, but we'll see. I'd still go for google's approach. And I don't think webgl can be directly controlled with C++ at all. Your browser doesn't read C++, only javascript. And that is the whole point of WebGL, link javascript to 3D.

yes, using webgl is only possible per javascript. webgl engines have to be written in javascript. it's not dumb. i have seen very nice things done with it already. but commercial engines like a8 won't use it. even if javascript is fast enough for a lot of things it's still a lot slower than c/c++ and you kind of expose your source code even with obfuscation.

I always assumed, it is for web elements and intefrace, not games. Just as we use the 2d images on web design right now. Like a 3d forum or gallery interface written in javascript.

it can be used for everything. there are examples of quake 2 ported to javascript/webgl for example.

i like this engine/framework:

but there certainly are limitations because javascript even with the recent jit developments is rather slow for stuff like physics calculations. the javascript audio possibilities also still are very limited.
