Bruno’s Threejs course is great. I’m about 2/3 the way through it, taking my time. Well organized and extremely well documented. Highly recommend, if a recommendation from a threejs novice is worth much.
His website had the same car based premise back then but with less frills.
This is amazing; now when is building this kind of thing going to become more accessible so we can start seeing a lot more of it? Webassembly has been around for years now but we still don't really see many companies compiling games or game-lite experiences to WASM. The tooling doesn't seem to be there which is the necessary prerequisite that could make building experiences like this actually feasible for most devs.…
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.
Really cool website, no doubt about it. But it consumes as many or more resources than games like cyberpunk or baldur's gate 3 on my macbook.

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.

Because Apple's walled garden is for your own good, Citizen.
When it avoids a chrome (and thus google) monopoly: yes. And don’t talk to me about Firefox engine. Its market share is negligible and the whole thing only even still exists because google allows it.
This got me thinking: Rewind 25 years, I can easily imagine 15 year-old me sinking DOZENS of hours into playing this "game". I remember I put much more time than that into a free game that came in a box of cereal[0]. Today, I loaded the site up and spend about 30 seconds on it before deciding "this is cool!" and moving on, probably never to return. What changed? I guess it's a mix of: (A) How I value my time. (B) The…

Hum, I guess, as some kind of metric maximizing dark pattern. But my point is that, it's not bringing in a new paradigm of UX that you'd want to immitate. Though maybe it could if others started making "video games but it's just navigating through a website as you play".
I think it's not a website you make to get hired to make business websites like this to display information (unless maybe it's a gaming company), but if you want someone to make a game on the web then this is a perfect portfolio site.
As a portfolio to demonstrate your three.js skills for web game making it's really good.

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

> What changed? Personally, I feel too guilty about everything else I'm not doing. (This results in me feeling maximal guilt and doing minimal anything at all.)
