Aves Engine: High performance browser games
summary
An acquisition by Zinga interrupts the original plan but the Aves Engine prototypes survive as a set of concrete lessons: a browser SimCity-style MMO with infinite real-time worlds and chat proves feasible and scales to thousands of people; rendering 2,000 sprites pushes canvas too slow so pure DOM/div images plus browser partial-redraw wins; canvas serves only to build pixel map click-through hit tests; CSS transforms plus a 3D translate trick and an IE-compatible transform me plugin deliver GPU acceleration; Node.js back end, requestAnimationFrame timing and sprite-steps (pending implementation) complete the pipeline and work for prototypes.
