Hey guys!

Welcome to Mozilla Labs Game On! 2010 Contest.

To Kick off this grand event a few developers started a forum covering the latest technology rants, game entry sneak peeks and everything else Mozilla Labs Game On 2010 related.

If you have have any questions, want to contribute or just hang around with the developers watching as we break the new openweb frontiers, check out the following link:

See you around!

Gaming is just one project, there's more as can be seen here http://mozillalabs.com/projects/

And to the rest, Mozilla isn't competing with the big companies, they just make open source software, they should not seek to become corporate since then the open source loving crowd would have to dump them and find a new mozilla, and it's good that they focus on the browser and the legacy of their package like email and such and ways to make that enjoyable.

Interesting that they didn't consider office applications, though that's the direction that Chrome appears to be going.

Anything that gets rid of Flash is a good thing.

@mike:

Those things are not platform-independent. They have one version for each platform with different features and independently mantained, but only for those platforms that seem interesting to its developer (and don't even get me started with Java *rolls eyes*).

For true platform-independency it has to be open-source, so anyone can compile it on the prefered platform and make adjustments accordingly.

But open-source products are curiously missing from your list of great things.

Mozilla pushes a web browser so Mozilla thinks more games should be web based. Wow, that's creative. /sarcasm

Mozilla needs to diversify. Apple isn't just a computer maker, and Adobe makes more software than just Photoshop and Flash. Google is more than just a search engine. Mozilla needs to think beyond web browsers for it's next big thing. It seems a new browser comes along every couple of years now.

If Mozilla wants to play the 'my plug-ins are better than yours' game then there is no reason to think that Mozilla will come out ahead in the long run. There are other, very wealthy players out there.

Java is platform-independent, so are browsers, so are other tech. How about a robust, platform-independent gaming software package that is not necessarily a browser?
