Sounds uber cool, but don't work in Chrome. The tab just crashed...

Will it be much jobb to make this work in all browsers?



The good news is that the crash in Chrome is not due to issues in asm.js or WebGL. Apparently, this demo exposed a bug in Chrome's garbage collection. There is already a ticket in Chrome to fix it.


Well yes, as this is compiled for asm.js-capable browsers (i.e. Firefox for now), it will be so slow on anything else that it will just crash.


You can run it in non-asm.js browsers; the released version of Firefox can run it, for example. It doesn't crash, but it is slower. According to the FAQ on the game site [0], Chrome has a bug which is expected to be fixed soon.
