This browser demo probably owns you 9 ways from sunday

**Jeremy G** · 08-21-2004

I've seen a lot of debate about scripting languages being suitable, practicle or able for game programming in the game dev forum here. A lot of arguments are they are too slow or not complex or for what ever reason not capable of handling a decent gaming system.

Well here goes a very practicle proof to blow away that idea. This demo is done in entirely JavaScript for the web browser and is pretty sweet. Granted it's pretty retro as far as effects and stuff but still very awsome to see done in JavaScript. Those of you who are familiar with using jscript will be quite impressed I believe, I know I was.

Anywho, the link

cool or what?

Wow I was real impressed with the black screen

**Wall** · 08-21-2004

Cool. But I know how to do it myself.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color:#000000;
}
</style>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write("fgewk);
// -->
</script>
</head>
</html>

agreed. that is without a doubt the coolest black screen i have ever seen. In all my OpenGL days ive never had such quality black screen. im switching to jscript

I'm able to see it. Not bad, actually.

**Thantos** · 08-21-2004

Well I loaded it up in IE and I got a rectangle with music and then it stopped loading. Weeeeee so cool

**caroundw5h** · 08-21-2004

didn't work in Mozilla, but ran it in IE. pretty impressive actually if I was only done in javascript. A little slow though. but impressive.

**JaWiB** · 08-21-2004

Who would have bothered putting all that together in Javascript! For me all it proves is Javascript is waaaaaay too slow for games

**Lurker** · 08-21-2004

No, actually that is about the maximum of what I would expect from Javascript. So no, this doesn't "blow me away", nor does it even remotely push me.

**Cii** · 08-21-2004

someone has too much freaking time. and what exactly does that prove? the only reason that might be remotely impressive to me would be because I wouldnt know how to do it. but other than that, nope.

**Thantos** · 08-21-2004

Well I finally decided to wait for it to load, it was pretty but since it failed to load on 2 of my 3 browers it gets a big fat 0

**Perspective** · 08-21-2004

someone wanna post a screeny for us anti-IE people, i wanna see what all of the fuss is about. the fact that it only runs in IE has already tainted my opinion of it though

**Thantos** · 08-21-2004

I would but I can't bring myself to the horror again. If you want to take a look at the code without looking at the actual demo its at:

I tried it on 5 different browsers - unfortunately it did not show anything but a black screen. 5 different browsers! I don't find that very impressive at all.

Great.
Oh and all I get is a black screen also. I guess it doesn't use standard JavaScript.
