<h1>Progress Quest in Your Browser</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Thanks to recent advances in technology, it has been possible to port
|
|
Progress Quest to run in your browser. You no longer need to download
|
|
or install anything to play Progress Quest.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Does that sound easy to you? Well it wasn't; we started with hardware
|
|
emulation of a 80386-equipped PC clone running a novel Windows XP
|
|
compatable operating system called ProgrOS, implemented in a clean
|
|
room in the Seychelles by a team of people who had never programmed
|
|
before (to keep the lawyers at bay).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unfortuantely that wan't fast enough (there was too much lag death),
|
|
so we instead emulated the much faster Cray-2 supercomputer and ran
|
|
the 80386 emulator in that. But the 80386 kept getting hot, so we
|
|
switched to a 6502 overclocked at 120GHz with emulated liquid helium
|
|
coolant, and ported ProgrOS to that.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
That seems to work pretty well with many of the modern browsers
|
|
(Chrome, Firefox, Safari). At the moment Opera seems to work just
|
|
okay, and Internet Explorer has some real problems. (But if you're
|
|
running IE, you're on Windows, and so
|
|
just <a href="http://progressquest.com/download.php">download</a> the
|
|
game!) Things aren't as good as they could be on touchscreen devices
|
|
such as the iPad either, as yet.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This edition of the game is only single player - there is no Hall of
|
|
Fame yet. If anyone cares, that will come later.
