#64The other day I was running a web version of Townscapes on my smartphone, and it worked beautifully and smooth. But this one is so laggy and slow that I barely could scroll to Laptop (24cm), and then just stopped.
How come a real-time 3D rendering is faster then just displaying a few 2D pictures side by side on a screen? Tech these days is weird.

#66Why is the mermaid so huge? The flamingo dancer and running male are smaller. The mermaid is apparently an Amazonian Mermaid, able to hurl the bison next to her to the ground with a flick of her tail.
Two meter mermaid incl. the tail seems reasonable to me, however I have never met one in person.

I had the opposite experience with both of those. Can’t run townscapes beyond the first frame render, but this site is perfectly smooth on iOS.

Because the page is mutating the CSS "left" property which is known to be extremely slow (should have used translate), and also creating/removing the dom elements, which is also slow. That Townscapes you saw was probably running over WebGL, you can use 2D over WebGL for the speed benefits with libraries like PixiJS (or from scratch but that's not recommended)
