tborn-sim

A browser-based voxel ecosystem simulator with water physics and creature AI, inspired by Timberborn.

Live demo

Features

• Voxel world — N×M×8 procedurally generated terrain using simplex noise
• Water physics — cellular automaton simulation with pressure-based flow, sources, sinks, and evaporation
• Creature agents — up to 200 agents with hunger/thirst needs, state-machine AI (wander → seek food/water → eat/drink), A* pathfinding, and death
• Rendering — chunked Three.js mesh batching, orbit camera, agent health color coding, FPS counter

Stack

• TypeScript + Three.js + Vite
• simplex-noise for terrain generation

Run locally

npm install
npm run dev      # dev server at http://localhost:5173/tborn-sim/
npm run build    # production build

Configuration

All tunable parameters (world size, water flow rates, agent behavior, colors) are in src/config.ts.
