if you change the canvas-container css to display:block you will get rid of those nasty scroll bars

Haha a fine contributor already made a PR fixing this! Good stuff

Press space to see the world from another side. Use the left and right to 'steer'. Also checkout his Short Trip which was posted here some time ago: http://alexanderperrin.com.au/paper/shorttrip

How was short trip made? That's super dope

To put it simply, I hand drew the whole thing and then scanned it all in! Took about 2-3 years of (learning) programming, illustration and general R&D.

Im surprised, ever and ever again, how well this works on mobile.

Super glad it's working for you! May I ask what sort of device you're using? I'm quite curious.

Gorgeous, and works better on my Ipad than my Macbook. Does anyone have any idea why?

Cool! This is nice to just run locally and play around with the parameters. I know the feeling of rediscovering abandoned sketches and projects, and thinking that they're not so bad after all.

'Tis a fluid piece of work! I got Three.js and the ammo/bullet physics engine working together in Linux on the Web. You can go to https://linuxontheweb.org/desk.os, and then open the Applications app from the application launcher on the bottom of the page. Then scroll down to the webgl apps. The one called "Swinger" is a soft body physics simulation. You can use the "q" and "a" keys to control the arm. The app was taken from the examples of the threejs website. The system works best in Chrome. My last account "denniskane" seems to have gotten shadowbanned, lmao...
