The development of HTML5, next-generation standard web pages, continues to be encouraged by Google. Google scientists had successfully used it to run the game Quake.

As quoted from the official Google Web Toolkit blog, Saturday (3/4/2010), the legendary three-dimensional game Quake works with HTML5 Tested By Google researchers.

the Quake game which in its time need big computer resources now can  run on an Internet browser smoothly. By using HTML5,  and even run without the plug ins like Adobe Flash.

“We were really surprised to see games that can penetrate to 30 frames per second in our laptops,” wrote Chris Ramsdale from the Google Web Toolkit team.

Quake version that used are  Quake II.  Researchers at Google’s expanding from Jake2, Quake II port to Java, then use the Google Web Toolkit and  other technologies.

Though still a laboratory product, which performed this experimental success shows the potential of HTML5 is quite interesting. In addition to the games, HTML5 browsers will be able to play any video without the need plug ins.

To prove it, researchers have been showing a video on YouTube. In addition, they also share the code behind the experiment.
