Assuming that it&#x27;s full of HNers...<i>y&#x27;all</i> are terrible at this game. Move and shoot, folks. Move and shoot. Control items.<p>Jeez, it&#x27;s like you&#x27;ve never played Quake or Soldat before.

Playcanvas is doing amazing work with WebGL. The Mozilla team showed off a version of this at GDC - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVAw_an6NBQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=dVAw_an6NBQ</a><p>Check out the SeeMore demo Will and his team were showing off at GDC - <a href="http://malideveloper.arm.com/demo-showroom/gaming/seemorewebgl/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;malideveloper.arm.com&#x2F;demo-showroom&#x2F;gaming&#x2F;seemoreweb...</a>

I found steering a little confusing since it&#x27;s not correlated with the current direction of the tank, but still very fun.

The shooting is a little weird, I fired several times at a tank, and the bullet went right through him. And other times I fired and completely missed and he got hit.

Hey this is awesome! Really love your grid. Any chance you can share with us what frameworks you used? I&#x27;m particularly interested in what you used to build your 3d grid.

I open this (Chrome, Linux 3.18) and just get the two carets on an orange background. WebGL works on other sites. Broken?

Really enjoyed this! Although, I did get killed right away after spawning. Maybe make the spawn zone a temporary safe zone while new players figure out the controls or so current players can&#x27;t camp out?
nsxwolfabout 10 years ago
Pretty awesome overall, hit detection kind of sucks though. I thought I had to lob my shells at first.<p>Looks like 60fps, on my new low end Mac Pro. Is there a frame counter?

Doesn&#x27;t seem to be loading for me. Just the PlayCanvas logo. Not seeing any errors in JS console. Using Chrome Version 41.0.2272.104 (64-bit).<p>EDIT: Tried another game from playcanvas.com and I get a banner saying &#x27;This page requires a browser that supports WebGL.&#x27; However, it is enabled.<p>This is just an FYI for the developer, but is probably just a problem on my end.

Cool game, but it&#x27;s hampered by the 3D and controls (tank takes too long to change direction). If this was a 2D top down shooter it would be much better. Everyone playing appeared to be clueless. My last match was 28 kills to 0, 0, 0 before I got a phone call ;)

those glow effects are sweet - the whole thing is inspiring and motivating
aceperryabout 10 years ago
Wow, doesn&#x27;t do anything. All I see is a playing field with the orange rectangle in the center. Wish there was more to it.

This was fun. The only thing missing was a chat for some <i>smack talk</i> because I just <i>OWNED</i> a couple people.<p>l2p noobs ;)

Great work! A bit monotonous after about 30 seconds, but definitely a neat demonstration of what can be done ..
bvanvugtabout 10 years ago
This is an amazing experience and a ton of fun.<p>I loved being instantly put into a game. I was able to immediately recognize that I was on a team and dive face first into the battle.<p>Sure, the controls and hit detection are a bit flakey, but experiencing this for the first time was a lot of fun. Great job :)

cool graphics - would prefer all keyboard controls
wazooxabout 10 years ago
Non US keyboard + trackpad = hopelessly unplayable. Please, needs controller settings :)

The shield is completely OP, camp that and you&#x27;ll win every match.
groby_babout 10 years ago
My first reaction: This is #@$)(<i>@#, totally $</i>(#)$, hit detection is broken.<p>That means it&#x27;s an awesome game, I just hate losing. Congrats to the makers for sinking an hour of my day! ;)

I don&#x27;t know if the developer has been tinkering with the game since I first played it, but the tanks move at a snail&#x27;s pace now.

Why do some tanks look much larger than others?

Opened this on my iPhone and it started running at 60 FPS with on screen controls and everything. Holy.<p>Brilliant.

Wow, it&#x27;s actually pretty fun. Can&#x27;t wait for the next generation of browser games.

Was the sound flaky for anyone else? It was pretty erratic for me on Firefox on OSX

That is much easier to play on the iPhone than on my MacBook with touchpad.

I&#x27;m amazed this works great on my iPhone and had great touch controls.

I played on the blue team for the last 15 minutes or so...one like 10 times<p>spawn kill is a huge flaw in this game. for example, i just lurk around the spawn and just kill anything..
