We launched the HTML5 port of Escape Goat this weekend

[Kevin Gadd]

As part of some promotional stuff at the PAX convention and to stir up
buzz for Steam Greenlight, we put the HTML5 port of Escape Goat up
this weekend. It's the full game, plus online level sharing that was
added for the browser port.

http://www.playescapegoat.com/

Works pretty good in FF and Chrome, though it does in fact hit bugs in
every browser on the market. It would actually work in IE10 if they
supported CORS (necessary because we have to host content on AWS), and
it would work in Opera if their audio backend wasn't broken. So it
feels like HTML5 is almost there!

For reference, here are open FF bugs that affect it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787842
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782054
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782913
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782909
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772334
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762973

P.S. I posted a message about this to the list two days ago, but it
never went through. I think the problem is that I used the Google
Groups UI. It should probably be made clear that Groups doesn't work
for mozilla mailing lists.

On Firefox Nightly it halts during "Downloading" with

[16:48:30.065] TypeError: audioInfo.audioContext.decodeAudioData is not a function @ http://cf-static.playescapegoat.com/105/Libraries/JSIL.Browser.Audio.js:198

When was AudioContext added to Nightly? If it's going to be rolled out
without actually supporting the whole API, that's going to break
basically everything that uses it... I should probably not even try to
support the moz prefix.

I explicitly check for the audio API methods I use now, so it
shouldn't try to use the audio API on Firefox Nightly anymore. Looks
like it broke when that branch moved from 17 to 18.

I filed bug 788310 to actually put in behind a pref!
