The future
Stay on course: shake out bugs. No new features in core (except if PyGame provides it).
Known Problems
-
Font rendering is buggy on Linux due to browser or OS bugs. It works fine on Windows. A workaround would be too ugly so GameJs will wait for browsers to fix their bugs. Font rendering is non-essential: in most cases it is Good Enough to provide bitmap texts.
-
The same is true for audio bugs: Chrome will not play short sounds and has problem with re-playing an already used audio element. The workaround would be Flash. Not acceptable.
