Firefox to get built-in 3D game engine

Posted on Monday, October 03 2011 @ 22:06 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
TechPowerUp writes Mozilla is working on a 3D game engine for Firefox. Full details can be read at the Mozilla Labs Blog.
It looks like having a viable high performance game engine built right into the browser could allow first person shooter type games to reach a much wider audience and possibly even raise the bar for integrated graphics - we're already seeing this with the upcoming Sandy Bridge E processors. The project is called Paladin, which is developing the Gladius 3D gaming engine. To help test it, a basic 3D game, RescueFox has been prototyped, although that’s not going to be developed further, but forking is welcomed. We’ll let the Mozilla development blog take it away from here.
