Fall of 21XX finally playable on Firefox

Fall of 21XX is now fully playable on Firefox and friends. You no longer have to use Internet Explorer to play it.

Back in 2005 when I released Fall of 21XX r2, for some reason the map scrolling didn’t work on Firefox. It was sort of acceptable to say, “Guys, it works well on Internet Explorer, just use that”.

Years later, that statement was getting more and more embarrassing.

So, as I needed a break from Bass Abyss, I decided to take a look at the old Fall of 21XX codebase and fix that bug once and for all. Ok, the initial plan was more ambitious, I set to rewrite the engine, make the game widescreen, and as a whole use the process as a sandbox to try and implement concepts in a small scale to be ported back to Bass Abyss. Obviously such an endeavor would not be ready in an afternoon, but that fix was faster than I expected so,  I decided to publish it.

Have fun and sorry for taking so long in that.
