| Advanced, real-time graphics on a webpage (2d, possibly 3d)
Title says it all. I'm looking for some kind of web-enabled language or interface that would allow me the ability to display 100,000 or more pixels/shapes at 25-30 frames per second, minimum.
My preference would be to be able to create an OpenGL context in a browser window, as I've worked with it a decent amount in C/C++ and it's obviously very well capable of the above. I'm aware Java applets have JOGL ability (though not a trivial-to-set-up implementation), but I'm looking for alternatives before making a final decision.
Flash, Air, and related would seem like worthy contenders, but their graphics are vector- and object-based - every aforedescribed shape or pixel would be its own object - clearly unfavorable for a real-time app if their numbers are in the 6-digit area.
Either way, appreciate any insight in advance. |

I am admittedly clueless in thi area, but I believe what you want is the intent behind WebGL
There are a lot of things coming out of HTML5, canvas, etc as well as some really amazing things John Resig (author of jQuery) has been involved in. |

Silverlight was one that I looked at before - not sure if it's what I'm aiming for. WebGL looks very promising, but unfortunately isn't available for Dev yet.
Would you say Java Applets are a little dated? I've never minded - in fact, have tended as much as possible towards - using the not-so-in-fashion but less bloated languages/software (I still default to C or C++). In this case, since I have some experience with it and it's one of the lower-level web-enabled languages, Java would be my preference. However, this isn't a personal project, and something a little more with the times is preferred. |

| Again, I don't follow this area closely, but I am pretty sue I saw that you could do something with it right now...is this more helpful? »bjartr.blogspot.com/2009/10/webg···_04.html
Also, one of the John Resig project to which I earlier eluded is »processingjs.org/ Not sure if it's in the right ball park or not.

I will admit to not knowing much about it but from what I can tell it's aimed at Flash/Silverlight.
