World Explorer 3D — Release v1.1.0

Release date: 2026-02-10
Previous release: v1.0.0
 

What’s New Since v1.0.0

 
This release focuses on deterministic world quality, performance stability, and space-layer polish.
 

🌍 RDT-Powered Deterministic World Generation (New)

• Added a new js/rdt.js utility that computes location complexity and deterministic seeds from geography.
• Procedural visuals now stay consistent for the same location across reloads (windows, building variation, road texture variation), improving visual coherence and reducing “random jitter” between sessions.
• Added built-in RDT self-tests to catch regressions in complexity calculations.
   

🎨 Better Graphics Consistency

• Visual variation is now generated via seeded randomness rather than fully non-deterministic values.
• Net effect: neighborhoods keep their own style while rendering more reliably from one run to the next.
   

🚀 Solar System / Space Flow Improvements

• Continued refinements to environment transitions and cleanup logic across Earth, space flight, and Moon states.
• Better stability during city/environment switches and long sessions.
   

⚙️ Performance & Runtime Stability

• World loading now uses RDT complexity to adapt query behavior for dense vs sparse areas.
• Physics road proximity checks now use adaptive throttling with safety overrides for high-speed and recovery scenarios.
• Added cache invalidation hooks during location reloads and major mode transitions to prevent stale road proximity state.
   

Comparison Snapshot

 

v1.0.0 introduced

• codebase as single-file architecture.
• Initial solar system/space-flight/moon traversal stack.
• Core multi-environment switching and major stability fixes.
   

v1.1.0 builds on that with

• Architecture milestone: the project has been fully restructured from a large single-HTML implementation into a modular multi-file engine architecture.
• Deterministic procedural generation infrastructure (RDT).
• Better graphics consistency per location.
• Adaptive performance logic tied to location complexity.
• Additional transition/cleanup hardening for Earth ↔ Space ↔ Moon flow.
   

Notes

• No breaking API changes expected for end users.
• Existing controls and gameplay loops remain intact.
