RescueFox, a Prototype WebGL game

RescueFox was written as part of the Paladin Project. See our blog post for more details about the prototype itself as well as the writing of it and what we learned.

http://rescuefox.mozillalabs.com/ is a playable copy. It works in current versions of Firefox. A quick test on MacOS Chrome shows that it appears to appears to work there as well, albeit more slowly and without the background music.

Note that we think we've learned much of what we can from RescueFox and don't intend to drive it forward any further at this point (though that shouldn't stop anyone who feels inclined to fork it). But we'll be prototyping another microgame soon once the Gladius refactoring is a bit further along, and we'll be very interested in having folks help out there...

https://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/337777 is where a lot of the work happened.
