✨ Hit $57,000 MRR today with the plane game:

One more $5,000 sponsor @messagebird, they will sponsor birds in the game :D

Your company can become a sponsor too here: https://t.co/a9U4a9rXM7

Today done:
✅ made redditors angry
✅ added radar sweep on minimap
✅ added ad self checkout
✅ added missions
✅ make night shorter cause ppl don't like night
✅ try add AI music generator (and fail)
✅ profile and fix FPS issues by @daniellockyer
✅ broadcast if new ppl joined game like "levelsio joined the game" so you see your friends arrive

Still working on:
- interpolation, I can't get the timing right somehow, it needs to use the proper ticks, I'll keep trying
- broadcast health restored if refuel

New ideas from you:
- helicopters
- text chat
- proximity voice chat

@levelsio Hey Pieter, lags a lot on my mobile. Maybe bake/remove the lights on the runway? Dynamic lights use a lot of processing power.

https://t.co/KKwngDZ11s is a 3D driving sim on the web, I believe it doesn't use dynamic lights and pretty good performance.

It turns out that Octree wasn't the best choice...

After hours of experimentation and debugging, I've decided to switch to a physics engine instead. No issues so far with Rapier 🙏. I'm also using bitecs now, can't imagine how it could be done without ECS.

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

That's enough reason to make yet another Minecraft clone 😅

But seriously, if you think it's easy or pointless, try making a Minecraft clone. I'm sure you will learn a lot.

[Rebane @rebane2001]

for some reason i got ipbanned from minecraft classic while just playing it and now i can build with ipban blocks

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

@leeerob @alexanderkondov I meant last year 😅

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

@leeerob I have read Tao of React and Tao of Node from @alexanderkondov this year, and it definitely taught me a better way of building things. Although a bit specific, I think core principles can be applied anywhere.

@ronaldwichhart @joepoole @arvidkahl Yep, you can use Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnels for free, and it doesn't require static ip address.

I used this Three.js example to implement the Octree and I think it turned out to be pretty good.

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

I experimented with collisions today, no physics engine, just an octree. I want this project to be as simple as possible.

Also, any software recommendations to record browser tabs? I think this one has some bitrate problems 😆

When you miss one semicolon in the shader:

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

I'm trying Three.js on a small project, and it's actually very convenient. I remember using OpenGL in C++ to make 3D games and it was a lot of work.

I also see many web games made with PlayCanvas and WebGL 🫡 What are you using to make your web games?

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

We were inspired by https://t.co/XHJXe1S2zn when making the tutorial feature, it's a great game with great engineering and shows what's possible in the browser, made by @shatterspine.

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

Whenever I make a game, I feel like how to play is obvious to the people. But I know the game inside out (as I've written the code).

Now we have tutorials, you can get a sense of what to do in the game. Have fun!

[Dorkodu @dorkodu]

Hope you enjoy it, I believe it's simple to figure out how to play, but we will be rolling out the tutorial soon.

In the meantime, don't hesitate if you have any questions or feedback 🙏

So I got banned from Copilot...

[Bercrobat @bercrobat]

@badcop_ Many such examples here: https://t.co/UenFHcV0Ek

@EOEboh There's also the strictest config if you want to be extra safe.
