Show HN: Voxel Building MMO in the Browser
- masterspy7 7y agoHey everyone! After my last project, 3D for Reddit, I really wanted to build a more interactive web-based experience. I thought it'd be cool to have a 3D version of Reddit's r/place. This world is split into 29x29 city blocks and you can build anywhere above the green areas. I'm not really sure how well this will scale - crossing my fingers that it won't crash! How to use it Desktop: Click to start, WASD/Arrow keys and mouse to move Mobile: Joystick to move, drag screen to look Tech stack -Heavily inspired by r/place https://redditblog.com/2017/04/13/how-we-built-rplace/ https://redditblog.com/2017/04/13/how-we-built-rplace/ -noa-engine for the voxel rendering (thanks to andyhall@ on github for your help!) -Google Cloud Functions for setting/getting blocks -Redis for voxel storage -App Engine + nengi.js for multiplayer avatars -For performance reasons, you can only see realtime updates for areas around you.
