I’ve downloaded the shiny brand new Firefox 3! Go download it yourself, and to celebrate it try to do these things:

1. Play JavaScript Mario

The classic scrolling game, but now using JavaScript! It isn’t faithful to the original in that we can go backwards though. Play!

2. Play Canvascape - A JavaScript Doom-like game

A mockup of the classic FPS game, again using only JavaScript. No monsters, just walking and jumping. Play!

3. See the Processing graphics library demo

If you’re programming with JS and want to play around with graphic libraries, try Processing. Yes, the name sucks, but the demo blows eyes. See!

4. Run the Acid3 Test

The Acid3 test tests our browser’s capability of CSS, JavaScript, and other standard web technologies. Our baby FF3 haven’t passes all those tests, but do try it anyway. (It gets 71/100 score)

5-10. Do some Google search

Test 1-3 all utilize the HTML canvas element in which we can manipulate its pixel using JavaScript! So do some search using the keyword JavaScript and canvas and you’re bound to get some interesting results.

JavaScript is my favorite black horse programming language…
