Raycaster - Amazing Firefox 1.5 Canvas Demo
September 28th, 2005
If this ain’t impressive I don’t know what is

This is built using Firefox 1.5’s new canvas tag and Javascript. If you haven’t got it, here’s your excuse to do so It produces a virtual room with walls, some lighting on the wall which change as you move around the room. You navigate around the room using the w, a, s, d keys. You may have to disable the “begin finding as I type” option for the best results (disabled by default). The speed and performance is pretty good.

It’ll also work in Safari
There is also some documentation on the raycaster.

Very tasty find
Maybe this paves the way for Browser-based DOOM epics ^_^
A Simple Single Player 3D JavaScript FPS might be quite possible and sane to do
