“The Paladin team have been working on a game called RescueFox
that was originally planned out using an existing 3D engine called
CubicVR.js. But that soon proved inadequate, so Mozilla created its
own 3D engine called Gladius, which builds on CubicVR.

“The end result is a rather basic, but still playable game.
Mozilla readily admits this is a prototype that will be taken no
further. The purpose it served was to prove how well Gladius was
working, and now the Paladin team have gone back to the drawing
board to develop Gladius further.”
