if you change how the web browser works can you optimize it to help the games or is it stuck how it is no matter how you change the browser to be claer i am talking about making a new browser and making a game for the web but not optimized for all webs
Biggest hurdle to me is animating it all. Browser tech is just not evolved enough for animations. A simple animation can easily take hundreds of lines of code. Scaling it up is a ton of work. We need a practical solution to solve this animation hell.
ok but how do i build modern web games (that title is misleading)
Insightful and on point 🙂
i'm just into web game dev because using HTML/CSS/JS is easiest way to make a game from SCARTCH!

rlly cool bro,thx 😀
The biggest weakness of the web is the resources size. The fact that we still don't have portable bytecode formats for anything from js to svg is just kills anything larger than Super Mario clone. I guess not a lot of you remember, but there was a format called SWF, that could compress code/vector/raster graphics to compiled bytecode which resulted in a footprint any WebP/M could just dream about and that not even mentioning animation of all of those assets for free, morphing, instancing and a lot of other outstanding tools that will just die in the beginning of next year when Adobe will kill support for flash player. Let's all say thanks to Apple for spreading the hate of uncontrollable technology and stupidity of Adobe that wasn't able to protect and support it's product. Someone might say that we might get something similar with WebAssembly someday in the future, but Carl, we already had that like 15 years ago and just reinventing the damn wheel over and over again. The only question is: for what?
so you're the lead for that chrome dinosaur game
Good video. I wish I knew it was a high-level overview of the affordances of the web for games when clicking, though. A title like "leveraging the web in modern web games" would be more satisfyingly match its content.
Nice education
I was guessing websockets were the biggest strengths
isn't much of this all obsolete as soon as webasm hits?
More content like this pleaaasseee 😀 I'm developing my first html game 🙂
Pixi js ftw
Betting on WEB VR!
