Making a Multiplayer 3rd-Person Shooter in HTML5 (opens in new tab)

Not sure if it's a mouse lock bug but even when fullscreened with mouse lock on, the input is super glitchy - it seems to randomly ignore my inputs sometimes until I move out of some sort of mouse 'dead zone', and my freedom of movement is pretty limited and there's some weird acceleration.

Camera glitches around like mad when I move too, but I assume that's because the animations aren't being blended.

Text in the score HUD gets highlighted when you move the mouse with the mouse button down, which is kinda weird.

1. Needs jump. [0]

2. In firefox 14 on Ubuntu it's a bit shaky.

3. There is no three, damn fine work. Good job. [1]

[1]: Okay, so there are some minor things like the inverted mouse scroll, unoptimized spawns, and idling players, but it really is a cool demo.

What port(s) does websockets run on anyways?

Very impressive. WebGL still has more than a few kinks to be worked out with GPU drivers and browser support, but it's increasingly looking to be the future. C'mon Apple, turn it on in IOS Safari! (It's in there, but hidden behind a developer option)

Pretty cool.

The game is smooth but without mouselock totally unplayable

Mouse movement doesn't work in fullscreen mode though, only outside of fullscreen. Tested on Firefox nightly (17).

It's nearly smooth on my shitty Intel IGP under Chrome.

Still, what's the matter with reversed mouse direction?

OHHHH NOOOOOOO a PLUGIN to the browser???? this HTML5 thing is sooo much better because it does not require a plugin. OK better? in what way?

Now instead of having to update that plugin every 2-3 months, you will now be updating your entire browser every 2-3 months and will be benefiting from slower moving, less innovative standards based technology.

Open standards are the communism of the web. They promise to put everyone on a level playing field, but do nothing except hold innovation back. They take the entrepreneurs out of the tech innovation space and force everyone to simply try to hack their 'standard' to try to make possible (or palatable) what can already be done in another technology like Flash, Silverlight or JavaFX 2.0.
