I've just tried it on my gaming PC. The game seems to be smooth most of the time. FPS caps at 100 even though I set com_maxfps to 125. Unfortunately there are two major problems:
- the game stutters when I shot or get hit by enemies
- there is significant input lag that makes the game unplayable even on casual level

Concept is great I wonder how far they can get with this technology. I wouldn't image Javascript being fast enough to handle the Q3 engine in real time.

Great job devs!

what browser are you using? it worked fine on chrome for me.

I tried on Firefox and Opera at home and Chrome on shit PC at work.

Oh actually when I tried it now on Opera there are no more stutters. The game works really nice except of the input lag. It looks like the game is running with vertical sync even though it is set to Off in the settings and r_swapInterval says 0. I guess this maybe can be changed somehow like in NVidia control panel.

I tried to force Vertical Sync to Off in NVidia panel but it seems not to cause any effect. Still on com_maxfps set to 0 FPS caps at my refresh rate.

Also mouse raw input seems to be unavailable no matter what in_mouse setting is set to. I think I gonna email author to ask about this stuff.

Use the issue queue instead: https://github.com/inolen/quakejs/issues

cool stuff, wouldnt have imagined either q3 runs so well in javascript

Can't wait for a wasm port.

Damn so jittery when tyrign to strafe jump or when any bulletes hit me. :( chome

A very exciting project, cool to see technologies like this being pushed to the limit.

major this :o
nice work!

Anyone with chrome have good results?

no issues at all, was surprisingly smooth. chrome v60 with hardware acceleration.

Does it run with VSync On only on Chrome too?

sick

Could this be used to play from a demo database? Would be awesome.

It probably could, yes. And it would be awesome indeed!

I actually had this working a couple of years ago when I was looking for a way to preserve and watch some of my old demos. I can dig up the code and stand up the application if there's interest?

I recall stopping work on it once http://www.igmdb.org/?page=render was made available since a video file is a much more useful way to preserve a demo for posterity.

Excuse my being totally uninformed here but, what does this do ? I mean, what kind of project can be made out of this ?

All you have to do is click the link!

It means that in the near future game industry may be delivering modern games via websites. Not just the simple games but the ones you run from Steam at the moment.

This guy managed to do what id Software didn't and needed plug-in to web browser to just act like the game is run in a web browser. In reality they just put website based UI. QuakeJS is completely run on your browser using Javascript and WebGL (OpenGL port).

Don't worry. It's not going to revolutionize your gaming experience or anything like that. The primary advantage is portability, so you can run it on anything that can run the browser and has enough horses. It also means you don't have to trust the devs as much since the code is sandboxed (like an app on a phone), and the "installation" of the game is maybe a little simpler. You click a button on a website instead of in Steam or whatever. It's still gonna have to download whatever data it needs. For better or worse, it will also mean devs can make changes to the game at any time without releasing a discrete patch. You lose a bit of control there.

Eventually the OS itself will probably just provide all this, cutting out the "browser" part.

Sick af

Cool af

Still pretty cool. nicely done
