I found this code by scavenging Google, then I manipulated it to do as I please.
It works and it appears to be 2 times faster than drawing 2D canvas.

I just want it to be more than 2 times faster for the chat box game...

http://games.greggman.com/downloads/examples/webgl/webgl-2d-geometry-translate-better.html

Just found this new example. Difference between what I have and this?

Well apparently I'm calling this method for every frame drawn:
Code: [Select]
function setRectangle(gl, x, y, width, height) {
  var x1 = x;
  var x2 = x + width;
  var y1 = y;
  var y2 = y + height;
  gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, new Float32Array([
     x1, y1,
     x2, y1,
     x1, y2,
     x1, y2,
     x2, y1,
     x2, y2]), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
}

And in the new example, they only call the create geometry once... then to actually move stuff they call:
Code: [Select]
 // Draw the scene.
  function drawScene() {
    // Clear the canvas.
    gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    // Set the translation.
    gl.uniform2fv(translationLocation, translation);

    // Draw the geometry.
    gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, 18);
  }

Where as I do....

Code: [Select]
function render(image, x, y) {
  gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture);

  // Set a rectangle the same size as the image.
  setRectangle(gl, x, y, image.width, image.height);

  // Draw the rectangle.
  gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, 6);
}

I think that could be the problem...

I once tried to learn WebGL, but lots of the terminology went right over my head.  It's fun trying to stay on top of all this new technology.  Looks like you're doing fairly well.   ;)

Yeah it's tough but this website is really helping me out:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webgl/webgl_transforms/

One of those last examples gives me almost everything I need. Only 1 more thing, having the ability to draw different geometries without needing to reset the geometry buffer.

WHOA!

Over a million letters being displayed! Instantly and smoothly! Less than 10% CPU!
THIS IS WEBGL BABY!

Here's the tutorial:

I hope this is the solution to all my problems.

WebGL?!?!? 3D HTML5GM GAMES?!?!?! 3D?!?!??!?!? AS IN 3 DIMENSIONS?!?!? DEPTH AS WELL AS HEIGHT AND WIDTH?!?!? WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!?!?


and seriously speaking, as far as I've heard by not paying much attention, this will let us make fast 3D HTML5 games once you do the thingy and the HTML5 and stuff. I haven't read any of this, but the demos are neat. I haven't programmed in forever, but this is tempting... and confusing looking. I probably sound like an idiot right now. Oh well, not like that's anything new.


Also, question, if this is what I think it is without doing any research, and will let us make 3D games, will we be able to make models in blender, or will we need a different program? Sorry for being an idiot.

If I can get this thing runnin, you'll be able to use Blender awesomeness in your games.

The IvanK framework is incredibly easy to use. It's also sprite based and blazing fast. And it's free for everyone to do whatever.
Though the source isn't available. Hmm.

This framework would allow the chat box game to or even the HTML5 game maker to soar to new heights. I dunno though, I don't always like using frameworks. Sometimes I like to learn the base stuff myself and make my own ways of doing it.

What do you guys think?

Edit:
I really like what he says here:
Quote
Incredible speed.
IvanK uses WebGL to render graphics. Your games and apps will be incredibly fast even on low-end devices. Let's say your current flash game has the resolution 600x400, it runs at 25 FPS and uses 60% of CPU. Your equivalent version in IvanK will use 15% of the CPU, it will run at 60 FPS in fullscreen.
If someone makes a game with this tool, it's gonna run epicly.

If I were to change the HTML5 GameMaker to use this, it'd become sprite based. Which means you guys would probably understand it easier.
Though all previous made games would not work with the new GameMaker.

I wish I could use this as an add-on, but apparently his framework uses the whole page, accepts it's own form of input and pretty much takes control.
I guess if I don't go this route, an alternative would be for me to code a WebGL canvas feature in the HTML5 GM that you can run (simplified and easy) WebGL calls on.

Well, consider me impressed Gan. I'm all for this new sprite based code if you want to try it.

HOWEVER -
There is a certain old project I would like to finish and I would appreciate you setting up an alternate version of HTML5GM to try the new drawing code.
