Lemmings was a terribly addictive game when it first came out, and now someone has ported it to javascript so you can play it in your browser for free.
You get the same problem as me? The scene looks right and I can scroll around, but the lemmings fly off to the left with each frame and wrap around strangely.
Konqueror's javascript interpreter is too slow to bother with.
Tried it with IE under win4lin and it worked OK, but was very very slow, presumably due to the whole emulation thing.
Exactly. The lemmings fly off to the left, which was actually quite hilarious.
Then I went to a Windows machine and played until, at level 5, a timeout error occured.
Thankfully that happened or else I would have wasted too much time! :-)
I am really impressed by the jump in JavaScript performance over the last several years. One source said, if I remember correctly, it has been a 100x improvement! Crazy.
