O3D WebGL Pool 1

Another great game/demo by Google. This time it’s a pool using the O3D API (dev by Google), based on Javascript and WebGL .

The graphics are good, the gameplay is good enough to keep playing. One regret, about the speed of the balls controling by the fps and not by the time (reduce the browser size to play faster). The shadow and the reflexion are a good example of what we can do with shaders. However, the game seems to generate some crash/freezes on some browser.

I’m not familiar with O3D but it’s another progress for WebGL. Google and o3d will probably accelerate its development.

O3D WebGL Pool 2

Don’t expect to play a real pool game. This one is more a demo of what you can do with WebGL/O3D than a real game.

To play in fullscreen mode , go directly to :

With some browsers I’ve tested I got some bugs/crash, what about you ?
