Google Ports Quake2 to HTML5 - Just for Fun

April 2 2010, 2:07am

Three Googlers present their 20% project to port the Quake II game to the browser using HTML5. No plug-in required!

"We started with the existing Jake2 Java port of the Quake II engine, then used the Google Web Toolkit (along with WebGL, WebSockets, and a lot of refactoring) to cross-compile it into Javascript. We were honestly a bit surprised when we saw it pushing over 30 frames per second on our laptops!"
