WebGL stands for Web Graphics Library. It's a JavaScript API that allows game designers to create and shade colorful and interactive 2D and 3D graphics. There's a range of things a programmer can use WebGL for, but of course this API lends itself very well to designing graphics for casual videogames. Basically, WebGL allows for plugin-free 3D. It's compatible with most major browsers, and can be used to make both 2D and 3D games more exciting by adding in dramatic shadows and spectacular highlights to enhance your gaming experience. Check out all the great visual effects game designers have used WebGL to create by playing the selection of games we've collected for you in this WebGL games overview.
