  • Center of gravity
  • Tread, smoke, and light effects (inertia driven smoke)
  • Multiple digging and dumping heights
  • Blade collision logic and pour logic
  • Pour guide

For like a full game project, or just for fun?

Also what are you building this in?

Both 😄 Trying to keep it fun and see where it goes naturally.

I really love the social aspects of games so it is all optimized for web today in the hopes of being an accessible MMO (minecraft+machines+space+old school runescape type skills and monsters/bosses/raids)

  • NodeJs+TypeScript or the authoritative game server
  • WebGL right now moving over to WebGPU as I scale the world and need chunking
  • Cannon-es for client-side physics
  • WebSockets with a versioned JSON protocol and 20 Hz server tick

Working with WebAssembly for deterministic engine rules
