quick post

busy as hell doing everything in the world but what i want to be doing (working on this game engine). But i did some reading on IE 9 and wanted to say something about it ... not that i think Microsoft gives a crap what the developers really think or want ... If IE 9 does not have support for the canvas tag i will ban the IE browser from my sites. A simple check and redirect to a page telling them to download a real browser that does support the w3c standards, why they should do it and links to the most popular browsers will do nicely i believe. I do encourage everyone who is trying to set up canvas-specific sites to do the same. If they don't want to support us ... they can talk to 404.html. :-)

going to go beat up a pillow now. cheers!

  2. Yup i have heard of it and i did some testing to see if it would be useful. Even just my basic map rendering is too intensive for it to be of real use. I could easily write a Java applet or something with Flash but there comes a point when us web developers are tired of Microsoft not only unable to keep up with the new standards, but going off in left field and trying to invent their own standards.
