Hello,

me and a few other guys work on a new environment for developing games right in your webbrowser. Cloud-free and without a hassle.

We just have started to work three days ago, so we are still pretty much in a planning phase. We know that libraries like three.js are not (yet) available in dart, but this is not a problem becouse they drop fp/s, and we sitll would work directly with WebGL + transformations.

Our project page is located at www.launchpad.net/gms

Please do not use the mailing list yet.

I know that the javascript transcompiling is not optimal, but we still have to bring this project first to an usable state, meaning that we've got more time, than till the next release of dart.

We have time. We are students and very engaged linux contributors (ubuntu, elementary and such). Most of us are from Germany.

I hope you became interessted.

This library may be helpful to you if you are exploring Dart options for webgl:  https://github.com/johnmccutchan/spectre

Have you taken a look at three.dart yet?

I'm always excited to see more game frameworks. Good luck with this!

I would highly recommend Spectre over Three.dart for any serious graphics development. Three.js has always been a great demo framework, and the Three.dart guys have definitely ported over some cool demos, but its terrible for anything larger than a demo.

Having dealt with Three.js before I describe it as too clever for its own good. If your goal is to make a game you will certainly run into issues with it for anything but the simplest things.
