Was Chrome AngryBirds game made using html5 canvas? And if yes: what kind of engine did they use?

Such questions are mostly speculative, and not constructive; we usually edit the question to ask "how can I do this feature, but this question is too old for such edits to be constructive. \$\endgroup\$ – Gnemlock Jun 8 '17 at 3:45

Yes. ForPlay.
WebGL and Canvas 2D code paths exist for maximum performance and platform support respectively. The ForPlay GWT library helps with the abstraction. See the Google IO presentation Kick-Ass Game Programming with Google Web Toolkit for details.

1\$\begingroup\$ I just watched the presentation and I think I would like to try out ForPlay in a later project. Seems like a really nice approach. Thanks for the link anyway! \$\endgroup\$ – Anders Hansson May 19 '11 at 12:31

\$\begingroup\$ AFAIK ForPlay aka PlayN does not let you write in "HTML5" ... the sourcebase is in Java, and it compiles into other formats. Read: You're not actually writing in HTML5; machine translates your Java to HTML5.. \$\endgroup\$ – ina Nov 16 '12 at 10:15

It is based on WebGL (which means canvas is used, but not the standard canvas environment). As iOS uses OpenGL I think they ported that to javascript.

\$\begingroup\$ I made some test html5test.com and it said that I have no WebGL context;) \$\endgroup\$ – Edward83 May 18 '11 at 18:47

\$\begingroup\$ And my WebGL debugger popped up so it can also use WebGL, so uh, what Vincent said. \$\endgroup\$ – Elva May 19 '11 at 10:19

Inspecting the page element gives me <canvas width="1024" height="768"></canvas> so I guess that means it is canvas.
As for the engine, I assume they ported their iOS one.
