The platform games initiative is made up of a core team whose works is primarily focused on making Firefox the best it can possibly be at running games.  The core team is ready to help coordinate with other groups in the community who are working on features or optimization that are important to game developers and provide assistance when needed.  2013 platform development is going to have a big focus on games and we hope you are as excited as we are to make HTML5 rock on both Desktop and Mobile!

* Develop a Benchmarking solution that can run tests against all browser on all target platforms.
* Firefox as premier platform for web game development and deployment
* Develop demos to show new game related features in action.
** Benchmarking, both to maintain quality and against competition
* Improve the platform to the point where mobile games, both 2d and 3d are possible.
** Competitive performance against native apps (on mobile and desktop)
* Work to implement and maintain HTML5 standards that are game related.
** Deployment model on desktop and mobile
* Work with all levels of the video game industry to develop the web as a thriving platform for games without plugins using only portable code.
* Web as just another porting target
** Integrate tools with existing pipelines (Visual Studio, etc.)
** Support synchronous IO, multiple CPUs, etc. without heavy code changes
** Running entirely on web workers will probably be required
** Easy porting frameworks for Android and iOS games to Firefox OS
** Access to same capabilities as native apps (threading, SIMD, float32, etc.)
