HTML5 is showing it's middle finger to Flash
It’s been a steady decline for Adobe Flash technology over the last few years. But in some scenarios it still stood pretty strong – one of them being games. Flash games exploded on the internet with many great titles (canabalt for example) and many not-so-great ones. When HTML5 took over web video as a better and more efficient player, games were still mostly a flash domain. Apparently that’s changing too, with Microsoft making HTML5 version of some Atari Classics and this WebGL wipeout clone that works extremely well in-browser on a 2011 11″ MacBook Air.
You’ll need a WebGL enabled browser (Google Chrome or Recent Firefox). Go to http://hexgl.bkcore.com to check it out!
In a few years Flash will probably cease to exist altogether if people can pull off things like that in HTML5 and WebGL. Good riddance!
