- tobyjsullivan 2y agoLinks to many interesting demos. https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/glsl.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/glsl.html
- marky1991 2y agoQuestion to whoever knows anything about this kind of stuff: Are loading times of these ever likely to get (meaningfully) better? The demos are all interesting, but having to wait forever (10-20s) before they load is excruciating. I would be afraid to know what the loading time of a non-demo kind of game would be.
- stephenhumphrey 2y agoUnknown, but for anyone under-resourced, this experiment from the site loaded instantly for me: https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/ferro_9/ferro_9.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/ferro_9/ferro_9.html
- marky1991 2y agoThis one also loaded basically instantly for me as well, but for example this one: https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/clouded_cracker_2/clouded_cracker_2.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/clouded_cracker_2/cloude... took ~15 seconds to load and then runs at 9 fps on a pretty powerful dev machine. (granted, it is running a bit slow and I'm also running a vm at the same time, so maybe that's the cause)
- marky1991 2y agoOk, it turns out it's all my fault: fps was terrible due to the vm I was running simultaneously, it oes to 60 fps with vm turned off; and the loading time was because I was downloading it through my company's vpn.
- qingcharles 2y agoLOL. Yeah, it loads in about a second on my PC which is five generations old and has a $200 GPU, so you definitely shouldn't have been struggling :)
- nickthegreek 2y agoThat might be local hardware related? These are loading up in under 3s for me.
- Joel_Mckay 2y agoI would recommend checking a reasonable game engine load time: https://www.babylonjs.com/games/ https://www.babylonjs.com/games/ The engine examples also have fluid like surface displacement animations in shader tricks. Fun stuff for sure, but would never let it in production for a few reasons =3
- girvo 2y agoThey loaded instantly for me, but I'm on Firefox with a 5600X + RTX 4070 with a 1GB/s down internet connection
- pseudocomposer 2y agoNone take more than 5s (most 2-3s) on my iPhone 16 Pro on a 400Gbps fiber connection.
- Willingham 2y agoThis one is particularly mesmerizing https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/young_5/young_5.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/young_5/young_5.html
- hsuduebc2 2y agoDamn. I feel kinda physically unstable watching this. Mesmerizing indeed
- siavosh 2y agoLike a fever dream.
- noduerme 2y agoThese are great experiments! Really a nice mix of art and engineering at play. It looks like they go all the way back to MM Shockwave days, and some from the early 2000s have been rewritten for canvas. I just spent an hour lost in this museum!
- imp0cat 2y agoYes, the entire website feels like a blast from the past, but modernized. It even includes a webring! And the owner/author is a fan of Otamatone (https://www.thomann.de/uk/otamatone.html https://www.thomann.de/uk/otamatone.html ) , that's great!
- tmaly 2y agoCan anyone explain what that is that I am looking at?
