Seedborn(beta) is launched!

I really like your repo!

Notable Updates (Feb 2025)

Not much to write about, but a lot of coding was done.

Feature

  • Game is now touch capable. Touch controls should be all up and working. Please (for your eyes sake) do not try with device resolutions < 500px.

Call for aid

  • Added Elon Husk’s Raiders of the lost rice map. I had fun making this. :smiley:
  • Added camouflage passive ability for creeps. no pics for now, I still have a stack of abilities to add.

Full changelog is available on the fb page (really need a better place for it but wth). Enjoy!

Q2 2025 Notable Updates

Some cool stuff were implemented, yay !

Features

  • Game now uses gpu picker, so yes scene.skipPointerMovePicking = true! Noticeable perf improvement in ffox with my dense mesh heavy stress test scene (see above posts). fps no longer dips during pointer moves which is a good thing!
  • All existing glsl shaders are ported to wgsl with some improvements, eg, the wgsl version of the water shader is many times more improved! This is preparatory (awaiting Milestone 2), still not using webGPU engine even on Chrome…for now. If the spec moves too slowly, its likely I’ll write a dedicated graphics engine… Yh, I want to eventually port to gpu only and draw calls will be a thing of the past, we’ll see…
  • Added a long overdue outliner, done in old-style with new tech. Still gpu+cpu as gpu picker uses async readPixels which causes artifacts. Perf is < O(n) for overlap detection with a slightly heavier memory requirement. Whatever gain from adding the gpu picker is spent here. Works great with renderOverlay and the gpu picker. renderOutline is very old tech not suitable with corners, hence this feature was badly needed. I liked the result a lot!

Still have bugs to squash but should be back on track for Call for aid development, cheers! :slight_smile:

I can not find back the demo link ?

If you are referring to the outliner, there’s no demo link, just a raw port. Alternatively, you can try in Seedborn with the guest login, hope it helps. Cheers!
