Cube Defense! (WebGL TD Game) | November 6th, 2009
This is a playable demo of a game I’ve been working on with WebGL. As per usual, this will only run in WebKit Nightlies build. No bias or anything, but WebGL runs too slow for the game to work in FireFox Minefield. (It will work in both WebGL enalbed WebKit and Firefox, but WebKit will perform better.) This is also my first take on trying to make a tower defense style game, so don’t expect too much.

Wow.. that is pretty damn cool Yohei. wow. If you could just work Chuck Norris into that.. it would be perfect.

Congrats! This is the first really playable WebGL game I’ve seen.
The interface for placing the towers seems a little confusing, but it works!

There’s a bug in selling towers; it will also remove all towers after the selected tower in towerArray. You should use towerArray.splice(currentIndex, 1);

This is not working for me…
WebKit Nightly r50918, Safari 4.0.2 (5530.19, r50918).
I get: ReferenceError: “Can’t find variable: CanvasFloatArray” in in utils3D.js at line 163
OS X 10.5.8, build 9L31a.

I just updated it so it should work in the latest WebKit now.
