After seeing the things people have done with software-rendered 2D canvas I'm convinced that once WebGL gives every web developer access to hardware-accelerated 2D/3D we're going to see an explosion of innovation on the Web to rival the one unleashed by XMLHttpRequest.

Apple also released a few demos for html5 a while back, you will have to use safari though.

Quake 2 was ported to html5 sometime back. You should have a full html5 compatible browser to run it http://code.google.com/p/quake2-gwt-port/

Great gallery.

Just about to think HTML5 is awesome, then I did a right click

Yeah, some of them are Flash but not all. Check this one out: http://mrdoob.com/97/Depth_of_Field_HTML5

Mr. Doob has serious chops.

The first one (Voxels) uses three.js: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js

I was strangely thrilled to see that you can place blocks way outside the floor grid.

The 3D voxels one is fun. I'll see if this long url from the share feature works on HN.

Edit: it worked. Yay!

Never since flash have I seen something waste so much CPU for so little payoff.

Maybe it depends on your browser. I'm on Linux and a Chrome 9.x nightly, and it runs like a dream.

This is very exciting (albeit obvious and long overdue) stuff, IMO.

anyone else think HTML5 minecraft?

I think there is a webgl based minecraft clone somewhere. Seen it the other day.

sort of. it's a little less fps and more rts style engine but still it's nice

I just tried it out on Android (Nexus One), the first page is displayed perfectly, but sadly you can't interact with it.

Really choppy on Fx4b7, Linux x86_64, nvidia blob and GTX 285, C2D E6600.

Works great on Webkit(nightly, mac) without flash, except that shift-click doesn't delete.

It's very slow and clunky. Surely rendering voxels can be quicker than this.

Works fine on my old mac mini under firefox.

EDIT: under chrome I can't even tell it's not native.

Awesome gallery!
