i more thought they would go like google maps, with an insane, really really insaaane, large harddisk, to hold all the unlimited data :D Title: Re: Google goes fractal with HTML5 Post by: Power 8 on February 06, 2011, 01:58:27 AM Yes slow but not so bad for HTML
Title: Re: Google goes fractal with HTML5 Post by: jehovajah on February 06, 2011, 02:32:01 AM I was hoping for a directional map around the mandelbrot, with perhaps directions to the bulbs and to places of interest. A bit like the map of the moon really!
It is too slow at the moment, but i am sure they will get better at it. Title: Re: Google goes fractal with HTML5 Post by: blob on February 06, 2011, 03:23:27 AM I think it's all calculated by the browser javascript engine since once I have loaded the page I can disconnect from the internet and explore any of those fractals at will. So probably optimal in Chrome and Opera and the faster the CPU the merrier. I am impressed by the rendering speed in Opera 11 on my Athlon 64 2.6GHz single core I must say. Just a toy anyway, I won't be using it too often I guess. O0 |
