<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; just hit the button:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<button id="go" onclick="window.location.href='roster.html'">Play!</button>
|
|
|
|

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
|
|
compatible 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>
|
|
Unfortunately that wasn'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>
|
|
Between you, me, and that talking pony over there, this is pretty much
|
|
beta software at this point. Browser support breakdown:
|
|
<center>
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th class=good>Chrome, Firefox, Safari
|
|
<td>Aces! Works great! (We think!)
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th class=ugly>Opera, Mobile Safari, Internet Explorer
|
|
<td>Some visual glitches. Should play fine.
|
|
</table>
|
|
</center>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This edition of the game is only single player - there is no Hall of
|
|
Fame yet. If anyone cares, that will come later.
