This is the first WebGL demo I've seen on HN (or anywhere else, but I don't exactly go looking for them) that not only works, but works very well, in Chromium on Ubuntu.

Granted, I'm on 11.10, so perhaps my browser is a bit out of date... still, though, it's kind of nice to see what all the fuss is about. The game played very smoothly for me.



I'm Chromium 25 on Ubuntu, and I get "Your browser doesn't seem to support HTML5 and WebGL. The best thing to do is upgrade to a modern browser that supports all the awesome things the web has to offer"


Some graphics cards won't work.

For me, it worked great. Until it crashed my entire browser.


On linux, the nvidia driver will happily and reliably panic my entire system when I try these things. Thank goodness I'm on different hardware now.


I had that problem on my laptop. You can fix it for some cards by disabling the gpu check:

Go to chrome://flags and enable the "override software rendering list" flag. That fixed it on mine.

Edit: I have a Radeon Mobility HD 4250 card
