This is an example of a first-person shooter game written in JavaScript using WebGL. All of the (limited) art assets are generated procedurally. The game uses the team duck game engine (tedge.js) which handles things like loading shaders, buffering object meshes, and calculating collision using octrees. The input controls are slightly confusing, because it is not possible to capture the mouse in the browser without using some sort of plugin, but it shows generally what is possible.

This is part of a series of game prototypes I have been developing in the browser. Another one, shown here: http://team-duck.com/space/ allows you to explore a small galaxy by piloting a spaceship. It is my intention to eventually complete these as games and tie them to together with some overarching story.
