I built Space Invaders in 3D with BabylonJS. All code is on Github. Itโ€™s my first project with BabylonJS and so much fun. Looking forward to something more complex.

I hope you understand there are people out here that need time to work on their own projects. What did you think when releasing something like this. ๐Ÿคช ๐Ÿคช Can I send you an invoice for all the time I lost returning to my old days of gaming, when I was leaving school to secretly spend all my coins playing arcade games? ๐Ÿ‘พ ๐Ÿ‘พ ๐Ÿš€ Oh, Never mind, I luv it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜„ ---

Lol, now I will need to explain myself. I was using Linux exclusively for many years in a row, and just returned to use Windows. I posted then remembered that it must be disabled when the popup shows. But then you were too fast to reply, again. Hahah. =) Anyway, the game is very cool! ---

@imerso @waverider404 Thanks for the feedback. I would never have picked this up Iโ€™m also almost exclusively on Linux. Iโ€™ve just added preventDefault() and stopPropagation() to the input controller. Thanks again. ---

Very nice. Plays smoothly. The 3d cam is a great idea and works amazingly well! Graphically its great in Voxelstyle. The explosions look a bit weird as the โ€˜particlesโ€™ have different sizes. Pixels nor Voxels usually dont ;). Best Werner ---

> [@Viperfish](#): > > Iโ€™ve just added preventDefault() and stopPropagation() to the input controller. Yes, that was exactly what I meant. For some reason I felt that I should not comment and deleted the post a few seconds later, but nice that you saw it and fixed. A small detail, but a nice to have. =) Anyway, most users will just disable that feature, so not much to worry about, I guess. Your implementation is very well done, congrats again! ---

You are totally right. Have added a uniform particle size for each explosion. It looks great. Thanks for the input. ---
