Compact disc is a project I started in efforts to make the web weird again.
Feel free to take inspiration and use anything in this repo. When possible please give me credit for the original work.
Points of interest:
- Starting with bespoke tightly coupled logic, and abstracting that into a single list of level definitions and making use of the scene graph.
- Compressing things is good. gltf (.glb) binary mesh compression with Draco and KTX for crossplatform GPU texture formats.
- Very lightweight global state. (Probably good get rid of it entirely for such a simple game loop, but avoid some prop drilling.)
- Realtime physics never been so simple. Rapier-js integrated with r3f is truly remarkable. Web Assembly makes quick work of them rigid body calcs.
- Screen space shaders highlight effects are dead simple with r3f post processing... it really is like cheating.
Roadmap:
- Camera bounds
- Start screen camera transition
- FPS desk controls with focus pull
- Playable turn table with song list
- Persist current level
- Decouple diary from level
- Original sound track
Aside:
I am labeling this game and codebase as very much alpha. The game loop is working but theres still 20% of refinement that could be added. I welcome anyone to submit PR's to potentially make perf improvements. I think there is def so useless re-rendering going on but havent been able to track down. Would love any input on the code in general.
