Well this is remarkable. 😮
Someone built a 3D voxel engine using plain ol’ DOM nodes, no canvas/webgl. And it’s surprisingly performant, since it culls any faces that aren’t currently visible.

There’s even a nifty lil’ editor!

👀 Working on the third module of my animations course, where we learn to create advanced cursor interactions.
Having fun with eyes. Not creepy at all. 😅

This looks OK, but it would be so much more satisfying with more particles. Check out how nice it is with 70 particles instead:

For example, suppose we’re building a sparkly "Like" button particle effect. How many particles should we generate?
My approach historically has been to figure out the largest # that will run smoothly on my low-end 2019 Android smartphone. In this case, it’s something like 15:
