WHAT IS GLGE?
GLGE is a javascript library intended to ease the use of WebGL; which is basically a native browser javascript API giving direct access to openGL ES2, allowing for the use of hardware accelerated 2D/3D applications without having to download any plugins.
The aim of GLGE is to mask the involved nature of WebGL from the web developer, who can then spend his/her time creating richer content for the web.

GLGE is made available under a BSD (3-point) style license
BUILDING GLGE
GLGE requires nodejs, to build simply:
git submodule init git submodule update ./build.js
For more options:
./build.js --help
RUNNING THE EXAMPLES LOCALLY IN CHROME
Chrome doesn't support cross-origin requests which means running from a file:/// url doesn't work. You can start a small webserver using Python:
cd /path/to/glge python -m SimpleHTTPServer 1234
Now open: http://localhost:1234/examples/
