What You Need for This Book

You’ll need the Google Chrome web browser and a relatively new computer. That’s it!

Not all web browsers can generate the cool 3D-gaming objects that we’ll build in this book. To get the most out of the book, you should install the Google Chrome web browser on your computer.[2] Other web browsers will work, but some of the exercises in this book rely on features available only in Google Chrome.

Any modern computer (from the past five years) with Google Chrome installed will be sufficient. To be sure, you can test your computer’s capabilities by visiting the Get WebGL site.[3] If that site doesn’t tell you that your browser supports WebGL, then you may have to try another computer.
