Looks better now... hopefully that is good enough now.

Hm. Some objects still have buggy UVs.

🤣
Well, I am kinda silly, you know 🙃

Once I had that hypothesis, it was fairly easy to research and to fix: I increased the stack size to 1MB - which should be big enough so once I hit that barrier, I will have forgotten all this again 🙃
Rediscovering solutions to problems I already solved is a specialty of mine 🥳

So I started guessing that the size change and having a few copies of that struct on the call stack might exceed the stack's size, causing the WASM interpreter to overwrite the runtime stack, explaining why it ran fine on desktop builds and why I had weird call stacks when debugging the crashes.

So - when I did another unrelated smaller change just yesterday, the same problems reappeared and it dawned on me that the problem is probably related to the size of the struct. Now I DO have a bunch of fixed size buffers I could blame, but somehow, this felt ... not like it was it?

Just to explain that: I spent several hours to figure out how to "fix" my wasm builds after I added some new variables to a struct that was quite chunky already. Basically I removed all the changes I did to the struct and I didn't understand why that fixed anything...

That would be great! I haven't got much feedback yet - if you have any, positive or negative, I would be thrilled to know what you think of it!

Oh, thank you for letting me know :D

I guess I need more winter themed assets.
As for the particle system ... I think this will do for now:
Slow (CPU) ✔️
Sloppy ✔️
Barely functional ✔️
Now I need the top-down camera that renders a depth map. For certain purposes I have in mind... for a while.

Why would you want to have the particles only show in one preview, when you can have it in every preview? -- Party Saursus Rex ☮️🦖

The particle system is now rendering fine in the level, but ... it would be nice if it also rendered properly in the preview 🤔

I think it is a fundamental rule of graphics programming that any initial generated mesh is invisible due to having flipped orientations.

Well. In the end, I had to go back in time and take the faulty commit apart.
I still don't know why _exactly_ it broke everything, but at this point, I am ready to take the win and leave this ugly place without researching what these strange noise are that are coming out of the basement.
