Playn - Cross platform game library for N≥4 platforms. Forplay - A cross-platform game abstraction library. Google IO: GWT + ForPlay. This morning we welcomed 6,000 developers to our 7th annual Google I/O developer conference.
The crowd in San Francisco was joined by millions more watching on the livestream and 597 I/O Extended events, in 90+ countries on six continents. We're meeting at an exciting time for Google, and for our developer community. There are now one billion of you around the world who use an Android device. One billion. We estimate that's more than 20 billion text messages sent every day. 1.5 trillion steps taken with an Android. Google Chrome Store and Angry Birds; GWT, WebGL, Canvas, and 95% Fred Sauer, a developer advocate at Google, did a lot of work helping Rovio port the Angry Birds experience to the Web.
When I first saw the demo I wondered if it was using WebGL or Canvas. The answer? Both. If WebGL was available great, else it would back down to Canvas (which is itself getting hardware accelerated all over the shop).
