I don't think "It's really good" is appropriate for this title. It's pretty cool, but its no more than a site with some javascript examples. It's not really good if you are trying to learn about game development as no links are like "START HERE" or "Tutorial" its more of a reference for people that already make games.

this site seems like a bandaid for the IE problem drawing attention to what IE can do rather than what it cannot.



With regards to tutorials, yes, it's not for absolute beginners. Still, it has some good guides on things like how to do multiplayer: http://buildnewgames.com/real-time-multiplayer/

Also, aside from the obvious example of WebGL, what's something important that IE10 doesn't do?


Should be easy enough to see what HTML5 features it's lacking compared to other browsers on http://html5test.com.


Ah, unfortunately, I do not have Windows 8 at hand, and I have no hardware-assisted virtualisation. Oh well.


http://html5test.com/compare/browser/ie10.html problem solved.


Looks reasonable. IE 10 could be better, but you know, it's great that we'll soon be seeing lots of Windows 8 computers with support for these web standards.


> Also, aside from the obvious example of WebGL, what's something important that IE10 doesn't do?

* Device orientation

* Full screen

* Mouse lock

* Web Audio


Full screen in IE10 doesn't matter much, in Metro it's fullscreen.

Mouse lock doesn't matter without WebGL IMO, especially since some browser vendors require Fullscreen first.

Web Audio and Device Orientation are quite important, though.


> drawing attention to what IE can do rather than what it cannot

Spot on. Specifically... WebGL.


I think that it's most importantly against the rules on HN to add something like that in the title.


Ah, sorry, edited.
