X-Wing
November 18, 2011
Launch Experiment
Not working? This is a WebGL experiment, so try running it with Google Chrome.
From the Author:
Move mouse to control, left = flip, right = fire.
(Or Arrowkeys, space = flip, ctrl = fire.)
A simple game test. Try to get as far as possible in the trench run.
Fullscreen recommended, press F11. Or 'F' if your browser supports the Fullscreen API.
Technology:
Javascript, WebGL, three.js

Reply to this commentThe bug mentioned below is part of three.js. Please update once resolved: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/1766
Reply to this commentI believe there's a bug in one of the WebGL shaders which is preventing this app from working on some graphics drivers. This particular fragment shader contains the following code: "vec4 color, org, tmp, add; ... add += color = org = texture2D( tDiffuse, uv ); Since 'add' is uninitialized it could be any random value. The GLSL ES specification doesn't say temporary variables are initialized automatically. Clearly many drivers do it anyway, but some (rightfully) don't. Otherwise great tech demo!
Reply to this commentfucking great
Reply to this commentVery nice. Could use some more goals other then avoiding walls. A few textures wouldn't do bad either, but this is still a test, off course. Great job so far.
Reply to this commentVery cool, but keyboard keys up and down should be inverted.
Reply to this commentVery cool, but at least keyboard keys should be inverted.
Reply to this commentAwesome!, just add some shooting, enemies, highscore, and an actual ending where you can destroy the deathstar! and you got a game!
Reply to this commentI get a white screen after a few minutes of play
Reply to this commentVery impressive! You could go a lot of places with this. Work out some of the physics a little more and perhaps a way to contain the mouse cursor in the window. Other than that, superb!
Reply to this commentDeath Star?
Reply to this commentGreat game! Played for hours! Loved it. Glitchy at times. But hey, keeps me from dying, haha.
Reply to this commentReally cool, addicting, and simple! But what are the lasers for?
Reply to this commentI think that walls should have more contrast, or more bright, because sometimes is difficult to see them when they are all the same grey
Reply to this commentReally Really!!! hard game, but lots of fun, mouse control is way difficult even for an experimented gamer, however key control is great!...
Reply to this commentNice game-demo indeed. Reminds me a bit of the good old days when "X Wing" from Lucasarts was the thing :) Managed to get a score of ~139.000 ... too addictive ;) Would be cool if there was something to shoot.
