Canvascape

As reported by Slashdot: "Benjamin Joffe has developed Canvascape - "3D Walker", a simple javascript browser based 3D first person game engine that shows off the capabilities of the Canvas tag found in Firefox, Safari and Opera."

It worked beautifully in Firefox 1.5 RC3, but painfully in Safari and Opera 9.0 Preview (because those two browsers are just getting started with canvas). I think this is a great way to show off what Mozilla Firefox 1.5's new canvas tag feature can do. Plus, it also show off what canvas can do as multimedia applications. It can provide interactive graphics without the need of using resource-heavy flash.

I see great potential for canvas.
