HTML5

 Wow!

Hi All!
is there any news regarding this feature or maybe a confirmation this is something we will see in next updates of GLBasic?!
fingers crossed

Yes!

I'm working on a complete rewrite of the GLBasic compiler, which produces fast and lightweight HTML5 code. The compiler itself is fully working and does a great job so far.

At the moment I'm porting the whole GLBasic engine to HTML5.

Port GLBasic applications to HTML5 is not as easy as the other platforms, because there is no mainloop (as Kitty said). You have to do all the job in the SUBs "GLB_ON_INIT" and "GLB_ON_LOOP". Networking will not be supported and GOTO also (JavaScript does not offer a keyword like this).

More informations (in german ;( ): http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=4524.msg53624#msg53624

This sounds absolutely awesome, any compiled code you can publish to show any results from your compiler ?

Thanks coolo,
I've been taking a look at your link, german is very complicated to me but I guess I got the idea behind
This project seems incredible, as having your app in a web can be freakin' amazing!
Could you please provide, if possible, more information?
milestones you expect, when we will be able to get it, what kind of features can be parsed or ported, sprites, 3D, DDBB connectivity via xmlrequest get/post,...
thanks a lot!

Okay:
Milestone 1: Get Syntax working (done)
Milestone 2: Get 2D functions working (DRAWSPRITE/ROTOSPRITE/... already works)
Milestone 3: Get Input functions working
Milestone 4: Get Sound working
Milestone 5: Get Data IO working (that's difficult to do)
Milestone 6: Get X_ commands working

In Chrome right click and select Translate, not perfect but gives a pretty close translation.

With HTML5 you can make BlackBerry applications using Phonegap

So, in theory, GLBasic could come to be used to create games for social networking sites like Google+ and Facebook?
