  • 0:04 - 0:07
    now Firefox OS will be shipping with
    1.3
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    with some great optimizations for games
    namely WebGL
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    and Web Audio lake and was a web-based
    tool maker
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    that demonstrates these capabilities has
    been used is Demo
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    to showcase the announcement shipping
    with Firefox OS with 1.3
  • 0:20 - 0:25
    regio- and live audio support is
    enabling Firefox OS to run 3D games
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    with great graphics and detailed sound
    effects. In 2013
  • 0:28 - 0:33
    we saw the popular game Cut the rope
    ship on Firefox OS Marketplace
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    this game is an example of an existing
    company in-content
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    could be detained for the web and
    delivering high-quality
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    using traditional JavaScript coding
    techniques. We like to settle, Mozilla
  • 0:44 - 0:48
    web is in our DNA. To make it easier to
    bring existing games
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    onto the web, Mozilla has been leading the
    development of as ASM.JS
  • 0:52 - 0:56
    which is a subset of JavaScript that
    allows for near-native performance
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    on the web using a tool called
    Emscripten, game developers can reach the
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    web and
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    just add another pooling target by cross
    compiling C++ applications
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    into ASM.js. We are sure on the
    part of this
  • 1:07 - 1:11
    you noticed outside in 2013 and now the
    same amazing capabilities
  • 1:11 - 1:16
    are putting the web on wall. These
    technologies provide a smooth path
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    for parking games that can plug into
    existing toolchains
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    as an example the popular game Where's
    my water
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    has been ported from iOS to Firefox
    OS using the same techniques
