About Script Engine

Script Engine is being developed as a fully featured game engine for internet browsers. The goal is to use only built-in browser technologies such as JavaScript and HTML DOM, to provide a complete and consistent cross-platform experience.

Roadmap

Initial Technology and Performance Evaluation (Version 0.1)

• Frame based animations are possible
• Frame based animations are smooth
• Sufficient JavaScript performance available
• Sufficient user input hooks available
• Test various rendering methodologies

Pathfinding and Obstacle Avoidance (Current Development)

• Macro-node based pathfinding
• Attraction/repulsion based path-traversal
• Spacial partitioning system

Note: These points are subject to change as development progresses.

Short Term Goals (Future Development)

• Evaluate CSS sprites for use in animations

Long Term Goals (Mostly Speculation)

• User interface
• Audio
• Worker threads
• Off-line storage
• Network sockets
