For those that can't get it to load (it takes a minute, and I noticed my desktop's fan kick it up a notch while things were getting initialized, so... YMMV): this is a portfolio site done via a cozy-gaming-style AWSD game where you drive around in a jeep-like thingamabob. There are some cute easter eggs, including a sort of... shrine to each of the socials, which you can run into with your car and knock over (though…

It is cool. I am irked that on desktop it does not work in Firefox, but only in Chrome (and presumably other Chromium based browsers). I'm not a big fan of Chrome, for a variety of reasons, but principally because I don't trust it and can no longer use a good ad blocker, so I never really enjoy having to fire it up.

Weird, I had no issues playing it on FF.

Plays fine on FF.112

After watching developer's "making of" video, I went and grabbed my USB gamepad (from twenty years ago) — whenever the gamepad is plugged in, Bruno's gamesite stops responding (until controller is unplugged).

I would recon if this isn't playing on your end, it has more to do with using uncommon hardware configurations (not necessarily lack of horsepower).

I have a 4 yo, and I'm very reluctant to let him into the games world. But I've been thinking of buying a small Super Mario USB steering wheel and let him roam a very simple world like this. Anyone aware of something like this, maybe open source so that i can simplify to the simplest dynamics?

My 4yo was a big fan of What The Car? on iPad. It's not quite as pleasant as this but there are some similarities.

I played it on Firefox on MacOS! Are you on an old version?

All browsers on iOS are (still, though sadly not for long…) the same browser. Only the skin changes.

Why is that sad?

Because so many people use iPhones as their primary devices it's hard for businesses to accept making their websites only support browsers which are built off Chromium. It somewhat limits the power Google has to unilaterally dictate web standards.

It's trivially solvable with CSS though, isn't it? See the beginning of this stylesheet for example: https://github.com/mvasilkov/board2024/blob/master/out/app.c... — this is from my small 2024 game.

You mean the select: none, along with the drag setting? If so, that's not necessarily followed/applied for accessibility reasons

If your game is essentially a single canvas element, having it user-selectable clearly doesn't help accessibility in any way.

It looks really nice, but CPU usage is almost 100% all the time. I have a MacBook Pro M3. When I open some fancy Three.js scenes that I found on the net, I instantly profile them. Most of them are really bad in terms of performance. I don't know why.
