X-Type - oh, what an original name :D

Play it here: http://www.phoboslab.org/xtype/

This game uses WebGL via the WebGL 2D library, which is a drop-in replacement for the Canvas2D API. As you can see, it works pretty well with Impact.

This is more an experiment than anything else; the game may run slow-ish on your machine even if you have a WebGL capable browser - on my desktop PC (NVidia GF 8800) however it's perfectly smooth.

The game idea is pretty much stolen from the awesome Windows game Warning Forever :)

Hey Dominic - FYI - iPad2 Safari - WebGL version does not load (no surprise), Canvas2D version gets about 80% loaded (progress bar), and then stops loading (Drop is the same here, but your other demos (physics) run fine.

Cheers,
Peter

It's pretty cool and runs smooth in chrome for me. Even with my integrated intel corei5 GPU.

Thumbs up! :)

Runs great(Win7+Chrome), awesome work! Very excited to play with WebGL with impact in the future.

That's fantastic! What do I need to do to get my current impactjs projects using it?
