In 2023, very few people know that I've produced a free ebook containing several hundred refs on Node.js alone. And that I continue to update it with top-notch content. If you like it think to give the repo a star :) github.com/fraxken/ebook_nod…

I continue my experimentation and am going back to do some minimal pixel art myself ^-^#gamedev #threejs #pixelart #indiedev

I have pitched JollyPixel to some tech people and I realize that much of them do not understand what real-time collaboration is. They are only familiar with collaborating through Git. Crazy how much impact CraftStudio and Superpowers had on us..

I explain it now like they are playing a game. But even by living it inside the editor some of them take minutes to realize.

November will be dedicated to Scene, Scripting and a first and minimal incremental build. I feel like I’m starting from scratch.. there’s so much work to do! #gamedev #threejs

I reached what I had in mind for an MVP of my voxel level/terrain editor and it's working offline with a static build. Available here: jollypixel.github.io/editor/… #gamedev #threejs

Spending a bit of my time reading a bit more on DDD and doing strategic design.. Nothing crazy but help me quite a lot ^-^

Shape dialog updates: faster preview, manual rotation to inspect every face, and visual shape selection #gamedev #threejs #pixelart #indiedev

When I started my editor, the block library was a real 3D WebGL renderer. Now it's a 2D canvas with static images rendered using the main renderer viewport GPU. Only selected or focused blocks rotate on themselves and are updated once per frame.

Incredible how far you can go with CDP and Playwright for A/B testing. I'm trying to keep <1s of cold start for my editors (that's hard).

Didn't communicate much on this editor ^-^ (WIP by another engineer working with me). #gamedev #threejs #pixelart #indiedev

Save a selection into a template, preview it then reuse it as you wish. #gamedev #threejs #pixelart #indiedev

I'm now running my UI tookit E2E test suite in 15 seconds instead of 80 seconds. Learned a few things along the way on Playwright.

Implemented support for glowing cube (with a lighting level) in my @threejs voxel engine / editor. Quite happy with the result and it has little impact on performance! #gamedev #threejs #pixelart #indiedev

Lot of things to manage there.. Previous frame state, UI collision, suspension and priority, cross-platform and layout bindings etc.

Implemented support of templates that we can reuse. And adding controls in the rendering for rotation and flipping of selected layer/template.
