Experimenting with WebGL...

[Dan]

alright, now the sound and saving/loading the profile works.

Dan, the game you posted is quite nice, but I didn't work on my iPhone, nor on Samsung Galaxy. I thought mobile Chrome browser would support WebGL?

And what you guys mean by SMS?

[Dan]

the sms is short for smart mobile studio, it's a tool that basically compiles object pascal into javascript, you can find more info here: http://op4js.optimalesystemer.no/
I do not use sms to make apps for mobile devices, I use fpc for that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....gemmasterdemo
on android only opera and firefox support webgl (with opera having the edge), but the performance is still very poor. as far as I know iphone does not support webgl.

When you see SMS here on PGD it is meant as Smart Mobile Sutido (http://smartmobilestudio.com/) and not Short Message System as wee know it from mobile phones.

BTW I think it would be best for PGD users to not refer to Smart Mobile Studio as SMS as it is just creating confusion amongs oters especially becouse SMS is often used in todays lives but as I sad before stands for Short Message System.

Yeah, I've actually looked it up first on Wikipedia, which had many definitions, the closest one being Systems Management Server. Google search with "WebGL SMS" didn't return any useful links neither.

But you could have taken a look at the forum section name instead

That's becouse pepole first started refering to Smapr Mobile Studio as SMS in PGD forums. Even Smart Mobile Studio developers don't refer to it as SMS.
So since Google sorts their results based on keyword popularity there is no way it would return any usefull results.

You could in this thread but the fact is that SMS has been used in several other threads on the forum already. So looking up to forum section in those threads wouldn't be of any help.

When I first saw Smart Mobile Studio refered as SMS I needed to read whole thread to figure out what it stands for. And this was only posible becouse I'm monitoring every thread in every section of this forum. So basically I know everything that it is going on on the forums.
But if I had a problem to understand what SMS stands for in the first place and I do know everything what is going on on the forums imagine how difficult it might be for someone who is new to the forums or isn't monitoring the forums so closely as I do?
That is why I suggested that PGD users avoid using SMS when refering to Smart Mobile Studio.

sure, I would never use that abbreviation in a thread not related to smart mobile studio. however, in this particular context I think it makes perfect sense.
also if you use that abbreviation on the official SMS forum everyone would understand what you are talking about.
every compiler or an IDE that has a long name is often referred to by a short abbreviation: fpc (free pascal compiler), gcc (GNU compiler collection), vs (visual studio) etc.
so why can't we do it here? it's not our fault that the abbreviation turns out a bit confusing for the unenlightened.
