Mozilla Develops Gladius 3D Game Engine

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday October 1, 2011 @08:04AM from the new-versions-every-six-hours dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla is developing its own 3D engine called Gladius as part of a wider Paladin project whose aim it is to bring 3D to the web. As all programmers know, the best way to learn is to experiment, and that's exactly what Mozilla is doing. In order to develop Gladius the team decided to create a game called RescueFox (best played in Firefox). It's a very basic prototype, and Mozilla has no interest in taking it further, but the purpose it served was to highlight what still needs to be done to make Gladius a solid web browser 3D engine solution."

Disable noscript... (nothing came up before I did that)
Its a tech demo still pretty cool though.
Find the fox and double click on it to win.

This is about making a game engine to ease development with WebGL, not the shit-flying-in-your-face kind of 3D.
