Become a Jedi Knight using the Google Chrome browser

Tomorrow in the cinemas throughout Russia will begin the show of the seventh part of the legendary space star "Star Wars". Google Corporation in collaboration with the studios LucasFilm and Industrial Light & Magic decided to please fans by releasing an experimental browser game with the help of which anyone can become a real Jedi Knight and pick up a lightsaber.

In 2009, Google launched the program Chrome Experiments, in which every effort is made to show ordinary users the capabilities of their browser. In order to play the game Lightsaber Escape, created based on the Star Wars series, you will only need a desktop version of the browser Chrome (other browsers for obvious reasons are not supported) and a smartphone. To start, open the browser in the game site, located by this link . On the opened page you will see a short link, which you need to drive into the address bar of the browser on your smartphone.

Once all the necessary data is loaded into the computer's memory, and the smartphone is synchronized with it through WebRTC and WebSockets technologies, you will have a virtual copy of the light sword in hand. Each swing of the smartphone will be displayed inside the game in real time. But keep in mind that much depends on the speed of your Internet connection, and if you use a slow line, be prepared for serious delays between the movement and the character's action on the screen. All the graphics of the game are rendered using WebGL technology, it can hardly compete with other modern video games, but, given that the project is launched in the browser, it's not so bad.

The gameplay is simple and intuitive to anyone who has watched the Star Wars films at least once. Simply, with a light sword, to reflect the shots of the Imperial stormtroopers, go farther and farther along the narrow corridors of the space station, thereby bringing your character closer to the coveted freedom. Once again, I remind you that tomorrow the seventh movie of the Star Wars saga with the subtitle "Awakening of Power" starts in theaters. I already bought a cherished ticket for myself in the IMAX-hall. Will you go to the premiere?
