It works in Opera. Very nicely. A bit of stuttering but overall a great presentation.

I think really what you have here Paul is an illustration of why javascript is the future, more than flash, more than silverlight. As browsers get faster and engines get faster, the web will move more toward js than anything else. It's a standard technology.

Very nice work.


Thanks!

I agree with you. Even though I'm also a flash developer, I'm looking forward to the day when I can get that level of performance out of javascript, and abandon proprietary plugins entirely.


So that's what you've been working on? Nice work! 面白い。


Thanks Josh! =)


Looks awesome! I had no idea canvas had progressed so far already. You should come by on friday!


I guess it doesn't work in the latest nightly of WebKit?


Huh, sorry. It's something I threw together in a night, and only was tested in Firefox.


Nor under Chrome (3.0196). so 'twas not brillig at all, for me. The CA thingy worked though, and I see what you were trying to do.


It doesn't work on mainline Safari either.
