What is WebGL
WebGL is a royalty-free web standard (under HTML5) implementing OpenGL ES 2.0 natively inside the browser. You’ll be able to run Game/Apps… using good graphics (3D/Shaders/…) on your browser without plugins.To get more information you can visit the official WebGL Standard page at :
http://www.khronos.org/webgl/
How to install WebGL
WebGL is part of the Browser and there is no plugin/software to install. However, WebGL is not yet ready in all browsers. You need to download one from that list :
- Firefox Nightly Beta (Minefield)
- Chromium Lastest Trunk build
- Chrome Beta 5 (Suggested)
- Safari (on Mac only)
Most of those browsers require to enable WebGL. For more instruction have a look at the first tutorial of learningwebgl.com
How to play one of the games
Once the browser is correctly configured, you just need to go to the game page (ex : Glubble) and to read the rules.
I get “WebGL can’t be initialized” error
This error means that WebGL is not supported (or enabled) on your browser. Please refer to the “How to install WebGL” question
