I’ve seen that example before, I think it’s featured on ChromeExperiments too, right? @GK Thanks for the heads up, I will try to see what the problem is with these examples. @John Davis , That’s great, thank you very much!

The plain WebGL version works just fine but the philoGL version does not.

Here is the demo: http://www.omiod.com/games/fastkat_gl/alpha.htm just move the mouse around to avoid the asteroids. There are some issue by the way, but for now the biggest one is that it doesn’t work in Firefox 4 beta 7 (I use mainly Chrome) but just now I’ve seen that you other demos have the same issue. Weird, I heard that FF4 supported WebGL ... Thanks a lot Nicolas! Here is the demo: http://www.omiod.com/games/fastkat_gl/alpha.htm just move the mouse around to avoid the asteroids.

What about Internet Explorer users ? We know that IE doesn’t support WebGL since it is main competitor of DirectX. How does it support IE ? Question why I am asking is what is the purpose of introducing PhiloGL in Cross browser supported JS Framework like EXTJS/Sancha ? PhiloGL under EXTJS/Sancha sounds great.

How do I enable the scene fog? The (very well done) documentation doesn’t talk about it. Really impressive, I’ve already managed to make a simple game with this.

I’ve been discussing this bug and apparently windows shaders have a limited number of arithmetic operations that can be done (64) The explorer example has 90. This is not a library specific bug but more of a windows OpenGL support bug. I will try to address this ASAP. Thanks again! @Seb Thank you!

Is this planned on feeding back into the standard Sencha product, or is this a personal project? By the way, the parametric example (and a few of the other ones) doesn’t work for me on Chrome (win) 9.0.597.98. I can tell the CPU is getting used, but the canvas stays black. Looks great!
