A JavaScript FPS, Seriously

16
Well, it doesn't have the "S" part of FPS quite yet, but Benjamin Joffe has developed a browser-based JavaScript "3D walker". It requires a browser that supports the Canvas tag, such as the 1.5 RC 3 of Firefox, as well as Safari and Opera. You can run and jump around a small maze but can't yet shoot despite the presence of a gun (lifted from Far Cry); it plays quite smoothly on my machine. There's not much besides the game on the page at the moment other than a brief indication that more is on the way.
Alot of people have suggested that I make the gun shoot or other equally redundant points. I only made this a couple of days ago so all in good time.

This game is being developed but doesn't have much direction at this time, to make a suggestion email me. The gun is copyright by FarCry but is only here temporarily until I model the weapon set.

For now it's a fun little novelty--and since it's in JavaScript, yes, you can see all the workings by simply viewing the page's source code. It'll be interesting to see if the author, or anybody else for that matter, takes it much farther.
