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! | 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.

* | ** Deployment model on desktop and mobile | ||
* | * 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 | |||
