Show HN: Three.js mirror cube that stays in sync

#1
Hello HN,

Mirror Cube is a Three.js based 3D model of a Rubiks cube variant. It keeps unscrambling itself doing random moves, but the moves are (ehm.. should be) synced across all devices.

I built this over one week and I thought you might find it interesting.

Let me know what you think and if you find any bugs!

Martin

It's nice, pretty. Maybe the background is not the best to appreciate the mirror-ness of the cube. I mean, you can see the reflections but there's not much to notice other than the pink and white lines.

It doesn't work on Firefox (128.0.3 on Win10), though. I only get a black screen with the countdown and the info button. There are no hard errors on the console but there are various warnings. In particular there are some warnings about not being able to reconstruct an HDR from hdri1.jpg ("Gain map metadata not found in the file, HDRJPGLoader will render the SDR jpeg") and about some image being too large for a texture ("WebGL warning: texImage: Requested size at this level is unsupported.") or buffers exceeding maximum size ("renderbufferStorage(Multisample)?: Width or height exceeds maximum renderbuffer size."). And from there on a lot of warnings about "drawElementsInstanced: Framebuffer not complete. (status: 0x8cd6) COLOR_ATTACHMENT0: Attachment has no width or height."

Thanks for checking it out! Do you have some suggestions for a more interesting background? I was thinking about adding some planets/galaxies to keep it in the sci-fi and space theme.

And thanks for the bug report. I'll take a look at it this weekend!

That would probably be nice. Make sure there's a nice bright/dark contrast. Right now, with the lines, it works nicely. The only thing is that there's too few things to be reflected.

Doing a black hole would be pretty neat if it looked like Interstellar. Lots of possibilities i.r.t. color.
