Hehe ... yup - I saw this some days ago too.

It is really cool to see how many demo fx revive now you can do some more
stuff inside the browser (canvas,webgl...)

Apparently it was written in HTML5. I'll have to start learning.

While following links on this I found this:

http://www.effectgames.com/effect/

It is a free web based game engine and developer site. You do everything online and use their tools and JavaScript to create games. Neat stuff.

The browser will be the next platform for graphic fx. Of course, these graphic
effects will not be new and cannot compete against nowadays newschool fx -
but since the possibility to "draw" something inside the browser is relatively new,
there will be a boost in creative releases in the near future.

Not to speak about the OpenGL ES 2.0 implementation through WebGL.

Some nice examples in javascript (I recommend to watch them with latest Chrome)
- as you see - they are nearly all oldschool fx.
