BLEARGH!
This is for javascript ^^

jup,. that does look somewhat interesting,. however, I did not get past the corpo-speak of the license to d/l the plugin,. I just don't have the patients (not so vertuous is seems,.) to read all that crap,. and therfore will be unlikely to bother working with that system,. also I have no intereste in runing anything in a browser,. I like my games to dominate the system!

I am curious though Kj, how large a d/l is the plug??

I had just read this article in defence of javascript,. .

for interest.

I was just joking about the Javascript!
Too bad that we will probably will never able to convert/recode ZGE in order to make it O3D-compliant. We still need to catch with the mainstream and that would have been an amazing opportunity...

Hi guys,

The O3D plugin installer is 534KB ( not sure if it pulls any additional data from the web, but I doubt it ).

Javascript is slow compared to anything compiled, and since O3D seems to handle input through JS, it's probably not particularly suited for high-paced games. They do have Z-Sorting, Culling, Raycast, Skin, Animation Curves, Proportional Fonts, Quaternions, Render Targets / Passes and a COLLADA importer though

+ The terms of service just says "don't sue us, it's not our fault" and "don't re-sell d3dx9_36.dll". But if you don't want to agree you can just download the sources and compile the plugin yourself
