HTML5: Epic Citadel On Unreal Engine 3
After Mozilla’s partnership announcement with Epic Games earlier this year, both companies have finally demonstrated the capabilities of HTML5 and JavaScript in a new video, which shows a web version of “Epic Citadel” demo that does not require any plugins to run.
The best part? According to the video, it took them only 3 days to do so, thanks to asm.js and Emscripten, which first appeared in Firefox 22 Alpha.

Small typo:
asm.js is part of Firefox, however Emscripten is independent project. Emscripten is a crosscompilator, which can read C/C++ as input and on output we can get JavaScript or ASM.js subset.
asm.js is not a part of Firefox. Alpha versions of Firefox optimize for asm.js. All browsers and JS engines support it, since it is just a subset of everyday JavaScript.
Oh. Sorry.
I was just stating that Emscripten generate code (in asm.js) which firefox interpret.
ASM.js is “just” subset of JS, while firefox subsystem that handle it is called Odin Monkey.
