Mozilla Lab has launched a new project, Gaming Lab, have it in mind to provide online game makers with the community, platform and tools they need to make new and innovative games for the browser on the Open Web platform.
A recent Mozilla Lab blog post reveals that
“Modern Open Web technologies introduced a complete stack of technologies such as Open Video, audio, WebGL, touch events, device orientation, geo location, and fast JavaScript engines which make it possible to build complex (and not so complex) games on the Web. With these technologies being delivered through modern browsers today, the time is ripe for pushing the platform. And what better way than through games? Traditionally games and game developers have been at the forefront of technology, often pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible”
To start this initiative Mozilla Labs Gaming is going to launch an international gaming competition Game On 2010, which is opened to all developers interested in creating awesome games using the latest in Open Web technologies. More details at Mozilla Gaming Lab [via]
