Class 11: WebGL THE FAIL IN FIREFOX

For this particular assignment i had to find three different 3D experiments on https://www.chromeexperiments.com/ and attempted to try them on FireFox!  Most of the games worked well enough besides some minor glitches, but on the other hand some didn't work at all.

The first 3D experiment i tried in FireFox was called Ninja Dash, you can find this experiment here: (http://ninjadash.weareslim.de/).  I used Ninja Dash for my other assignment on chrome and so i thought i could compare the two and how they both worked using two different browser's.  It was a game with a standard WASD control system, to know to move, jump and kick you had to press the controls key and it would show you.  B was used to make you run faster, but unfortunately using FireFox the WASD controls did not work at all, and the little ninja pretty much ran around hitting every wall possible.  Below are 2 screenshots from playing this game.




The second experiment i chose was CSS Space Shooter (http://www.michaelbromley.co.uk/experiments/css-space-shooter/) .  This game began with flying lessons, when i first clicked on this experiment it says in the yellow bar "This experiment might not work properly unless you run it properly in the latest versions of the chrome browser. Sorry!"  Once i finally got into the game it was a little bit glitchy, and not really ideally fun when it stops and then proceeds to work again.





The last final 3D experiment i tried playing in FireFox was CRU CI Form, this can be found here: (http://www.clicktorelease.com/code/cruciform/).  This game actually caused my laptop to completely freeze.  The first screenshot is a picture where i clicked on the game and it was loading/ freezing waiting for the graphics to load. It seemed to be loading fine until the white line stopped for a good minute and was not progressing forwards.  Finally after a minute my laptop unfroze and let me go inside the experience.  The graphics in this game were kind of foggy unlike in chrome where it was crystal clear.  I picked "Normal" as my option for the quality section but this quality was definitely not normal, by the way it kept freezing.
