So funny to read this in 2012!
You guys never would imagine that HTML and JavaScript would go this far!
Its curious how you didnt rejected HTML as a game plataform even in 2000.

Comment on My Git Workflow and Why You Should Use Git by Isopod

I have used both Git and hg, and I still to this day don’t see how Git’s branching is supposed to be different from hg’s. Using hg, I can just as well work with multiple branches and switch between them as often as I like. There is no need to check out into multiple folders as stated in your article.

The only “difference” is perhaps that in Git you first create a new branch, then make some changes and commit, while in hg you just make your changes and create a new branch as you commit. But this is just a matter of taste, I guess…

Great approach, was definitely a big inspiration for this presentation/tutorial I just gave:
http://people.mozilla.org/~bjacob/webgl-spotlight-js-2012/

By the way, may I mention that your “random rectangles” example is exactly the only thing one can draw in WebGL *without* using any shaders or buffers?

gl.enable(gl.SCISSOR_TEST);
gl.scissor(x,y,w,h);
gl.clearColor(r,g,b,a);
gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

I travelled from France to the US in 1983, I was 13 years old and arrived in Atlanta, in a big house with Castle Wolfenstein on an apple ][. Today I own a computer company, and almost everyday, Castle Wolfenstein is the example I give to everyone…..

Silas was 15 years in advance…

Welcome to Castle Wolfenstein, mate !
