i published a first version of my browser puzzle/platform game (+ level editor). you can play it for free (w/a keyboard) at boxtype.app. levels are encoded in the url; if you make something you like you can share it with anyone

i'd love to hear what you think!

should i be worried if the cubes appear to be multiplying?

light streaming in from columns on the left. the light is cmy, but mixes into white. the columns are surrounded by many gray boxes of different size. they catch the light at different angles

the intern is running their favorite test cycle on The Big Lights

cyan, magenta and yellow volumetric light streaming into a simplistic/stylistic cavernous space through columns on the right. reflective base and ceiling

three renders of the same test scene. the first two have volume light w/different settings. the third has no volume light. all images show light streaming in through columns on the left into a cavernous space with boxes around the edges. everything is very simplistic #raytracing #graphics

volumetric light visible coming from between columns. but also more stray/inexplicable light columns

much bright rendering of the same image. the boxes around the edges now project a lot of volume light into the open space

very dark rendering. we see reflection of the light source inside the columns. and some reflections in ceiling and glass/water base

i had the cursed thought that: when i eventually profile this raytracer properly; i will also know how many watts the CPU is burning on AABB lookups. now you have it too

presumably you are allowed sharp objects if you tie them to a string and tow them behind you

i'm sorry :(

make that "moderately good at the computer"

opengl view of a rather broken raytraced scene. the scene is just a floor with tiles, and we see them reflected and glitched in ceiling/walls

ncnvrgnt @inconvergent.net · 3d

in hindsight i probably should have had at least one other skill than "good at the computer"

if somebody wants to give me a lot of money, i promise to make something utterly and completely useless
