It's a game like The Powder Toy, but in 3D!
It's notable because instead of using a 3D graphics framework such as WebGL I do all the rendering myself down to the polygon level of the HTML canvas.

Here's a quick demo level you can load into it (by pasting into the text area on the page) to learn more:

Code:
{"cubes":[{"coords":[50,-2,1],"type":4},{"coords":[50,0,0],"type":5},{"coords":[48,-2,0],"type":3},{"coords":[48,0,0],"type":2},{"coords":[12,32,2],"type":1},{"coords":[12,31,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,31,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,30,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,30,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,29,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,29,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,28,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,28,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,27,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,27,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,26,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,26,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,25,2],"type":1},{"coords":[29,-2,0],"type":2},{"coords":[29,-1,0],"type":5},{"coords":[29,0,0],"type":5},{"coords":[10,25,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,24,2],"type":1},{"coords":[28,-2,0],"type":2},{"coords":[28,-1,0],"type":5},{"coords":[28,0,0],"type":5},{"coords":[10,24,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,23,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,23,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,22,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,22,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,21,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,21,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,20,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,20,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,19,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,19,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,18,2],"type":1},{"coords":[12,17,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,18,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,16,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,17,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,15,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,16,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,14,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,15,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,13,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,14,2],"type":0},{"coords":[18,0,1],"type":6},{"coords":[12,12,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,13,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,11,2],"type":1},{"coords":[17,0,1],"type":6},{"coords":[10,12,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,10,2],"type":1},{"coords":[16,1,1],"type":7},{"coords":[16,0,1],"type":6},{"coords":[10,11,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,9,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,10,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,8,2],"type":1},{"coords":[12,7,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,9,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,6,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,8,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,5,2],"type":1},{"coords":[12,4,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,7,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,3,2],"type":1},{"coords":[12,2,2],"type":1},{"coords":[12,1,2],"type":1},{"coords":[10,6,2],"type":0},{"coords":[12,0,2],"type":4},{"coords":[10,5,2],"type":0},{"coords":[10,4,2],"type":0},{"coords":[10,3,2],"type":0},{"coords":[10,2,2],"type":0},{"coords":[10,1,2],"type":0},{"coords":[10,0,2],"type":3},{"coords":[7,0,2],"type":6},{"coords":[6,0,2],"type":5},{"coords":[5,0,2],"type":2},{"coords":[3,0,2],"type":2}],"paused":true,"signs":[{"text":"Welcome to TPT3D!","coords":[0,0,2]},{"text":"Go right to continue!","coords":[0,1,2]},{"text":"This is a cube.","coords":[3,-1,2]},{"text":"Those have different types:","coords":[5,-1,2]},{"text":"There are solids, liquids and liquid sources.","coords":[10,-1,2]},{"text":"There's also fire!

I like it so far! I am confused about the pause mechanic, though. It seems you have to hold Space to keep the simulation unpaused. Also, I don't quite understand the fire. It seems that when the simulation is unpaused, the fire "block" just rises up and disappears. Overall, very cool! You'll have to explain to me how you got 3D rendering done. I'm still having some trouble with it in my limited experiments.

The thing about having to hold Space is a bug (the load button gets focus so when you press space it gets activated too) - I am going to fix that, hopefully Smile

A workaround for this is to click anywhere else on the page after loading the save (e.g. on the canvas).


Yes, the fire is supposed to rise, it can also spread to blocks of wood.


The rendering principle is pretty simple.
First, the cubes of the level are sorted according to their distance to the observer (the closest ones are rendered last).

Then,

Code:
drawCube()
does the same sorting, but with the cube faces.
Then it draws each face as a polygon path (using

Code:
move3D()
, which is just a glorified way of moving the canvas cursor according to a projection of 3D coordinates).
This is very cool! My only suggestion right now is if you could please remove the black fade outs on the edges? Also would it be possible to have more detailed textures?
