Torque running in browser (PC and mac both) ?

by Istvan Szakats · in Torque Developer Network · 02/26/2007 (11:57 am) · 2 replies

Dear Torque community,

I want to develop a game that should run in a browser (mainly IE and Firefox) and on any OS (Win, OsX, Linux)
I assume this means I have to use OpenGL (mac does not speak DirectX).

My questions are

1. Has anyone done such a thing before?
2. Do I need a special browser plugin?

Many thanks,

Istvan

Hi,

And the answers are . . .

1. Yes, Neil Marshall has done something like it.
2. He has built plugins for Firefox and IE

Neil has made several postings on this subject and all of them are pretty cool.

This is currently for Windows only -- the Firefox plugin works on Opera as well. The IE plugin doesn't work under Windows Vista, but is fine under XP.

I've started a Mac version of the plugin to run under Safari and Firefox. I expect to finish it sometime before September.

I don't need a Linux version enough to do it myself, but if someone else were to make the Plugin work under Linux I would probably use it.
