Play ET on web ?


(Ododo) #1

Hello, I wonder if using technologies like the webgl, we could play ET on our browsers knowing that a quake3 web demo already exists :

I hope that etlive will be opensource, i’m quite curious about the way they did it .
(:stuck_out_tongue: too bad they recruit at too high level )
Apparently they r building their own plugin like quakelive did, i was thinking about webgl because of his advantage to be recognized by browsers.

I don’t think that it is good idea, when such game like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory uses WebGL to render in browser.

Currently, of-course, WebGL is quite resource demanding and getting a lot of things on screen requires some heavy computing power, what most of people PC’s do not have and the latency of client to code is too high too.

Maybe in next 5 years, if society survives to that point.

Not completely. The game part will be modified ET: Legacy, which already is open-source, but the browser plugin itself will be closed source.
