Mozilla Develops Gladius 3D Game Engine

[wraggster]

Mozilla is developing its own 3D engine (http://www.geek.com/articles/games/mozilla-paladin-project-is-developing-gladius-a-3d-game-engine-for-web-browsers-2011101/) called Gladius as part of a wider Paladin project whose aim it is to bring 3D to the web (https://mozillalabs.com/blog/2011/09/rescuefox-the-value-of-a-prototype/). As all programmers know, the best way to learn is to experiment, and that's exactly what Mozilla is doing. In order to develop Gladius the team decided to create a game called RescueFox (http://rescuefox.mozillalabs.com/src/index.html) (best played in Firefox). It's a very basic prototype, and Mozilla has no interest in taking it further, but the purpose it served was to highlight what still needs to be done to make Gladius a solid web browser 3D engine solution.
