Better mouse control for games in the latest Chrome Beta
Thursday, August 23, 2012
For you game lovers out there, you’ll be happy to hear that today’s Beta release includes the
Pointer Lock JavaScript API
(a.k.a. mouse lock). This means 3D web apps and games like first-person shooters can remove your cursor from the screen and get access to raw mouse movement data, so you can pan the screen’s view to your heart’s content. You can play with this nifty WebGL
Quake 3 map viewer
to see it in action. Have fun!
