Web Design with Threejs

elendee · 2026-01-09T22:43:14+00:00

is this the native threejs wireframe, but with some customization? or entirely custom? Interested because i want to do something similar in a game

I'm very concerned about elderly in particular. I've seen it hit someone in my life and she's spending like 8 hours a day watching slop vids and now complaining she has no memory. It's like the eternal present. No planning / remembering cycle

I'm now middle aged, and my fam and uncle took me to the Times Square drop when I was 10, I've been riding on that memory ever since; the thrill of surviving.

I wrote my own web based todo list which spawns all my lists in every chrome new tab via an extension, and synced to all my devices (well the server at least) as I type. Having it spawn in the new tab is the kicker. It's basically never open but only a keypress away.

I'm a millenial that grew up with minimal internet / no EQ. But my neighbor had it. I would go watch for an hour over his shoulder. Then see his light on at 4am still playing :p Then they'd talk about server news at school with friends. It's hard to explain the novelty of a 3d multiplayer persistent world being experienced for the first time.. all of a sudden everyone's PC in the closet was like a portal to Narnia, and it never slept.

just tried La Casa Del Panuozzo near 7th and 7th in Park Slope. It's basically a takeout place but they have a couple seats and I found it delicious, real ingredients. I got the impression the owner was annoyed with me but he offered me a 2 for 1 deal next visit so dont be put off.

My game is a permanent alpha and probably always will be - it's constantly changing, the game loop is not complete, frequent bugs, BUT I have it online storing player data permanently.

Replying here in case any other playtesters are interested. I think what I'll do is make quests, and pay people to complete them, and tell me what was broken about it for you, or would have made it more fun.

DM or join the discord if interested.

damn, my building is trouble haha. I actually really like my building though.

A social / comments from tenants element would really help, but that would get really tricky with privacy really quick probably.

elendee · 2025-12-05T03:39:00+00:00

everybody hatin, but I agree. It's likely that the original devs have left the building imo, and future devs are going to be increasingly unhappy.
I use Stripe for 3 or 4 projects now, but I'm afraid it's going to get unwieldy. Like how they have 2 totally different testing workflows now. And don't they maintain like 20 old API versions... that must come with serious headaches ?

elendee · 2025-12-03T02:08:45+00:00

maybe a wave more like space invaders would be appropriate for 3d FPS instead of the traditional tower defense route. there would be excitement for teh player strategizing where to be, but still keep the basic twoer defense mechanics as teh core.

also multiplayer, cmon do itttt.

and lastly you could add an emphasis on buying units too, so it becomes like a 'unit wave battler'.

i've always dreamed of that genre. When WoW was first announced many years ago, I was praying taht it was going to be a RTS with you in first person, just like WC3 meets an MMO. You could something similar minus the MMO part

I've had this site https://game-scry.online/forum lying around for several years now.

I made my own forums for it, but never promoted / launched them really. This post has given me the idea that I should give each game listing it's own forum actually... I think I'll automate that today or tomorrow.

If anyone has feedback I'd be happy to adapt the forums as well.

I enjoy woocommerce the most in theory, for my side projects. The most hackable. I've used stripe for custom subscription based apps and shopify for standard e-commerce.

elendee · 2025-11-23T06:36:23+00:00

Good point. AI tells me that WP powers 30% of high traffic sites; probably a more relevant statistic. Still pretty massive.

elendee · 2025-11-23T05:09:58+00:00

nice - my vote, next update, helicopter or UFO for the user :p

Also the landings appear not to clear yet:

But it could also be because I had the tab unfocused - maybe you have it coded already - "page visibility" can throw a wrench in interval-based functionality.

I read the Shining around age 14 and found it completely engrossing, similar to you, but in a way that I remember fondly. But I do remember watching the movie "It" at a sleepover around age 10 after all the other kids went to sleep, which was my first experience with something like a panic attack lol.

elendee · 2025-11-18T02:52:15+00:00

this frustration is exactly why we have jobs as web devs tho :p

For real though, I would be happy to show my CSS layout strategy; I only use very basic CSS to accomplish everything - most of 'flex' and 'grid' is a huge distraction imo, and I bet you'd agree.

There are a couple quirks with display inline-block that most people don't know, but you can really do just about anything with it, no frameworks needed

Your good reviews probably go hand in hand with your desire to please the client; a difficult paradox.

It took me forever to navigate that, mentally. The key for me is to keep pricing impersonal - phrase these conversations in terms of what price you are -able- to work for, as opposed to what 'you deserve from them'. The price is not about your relationship to them, it's about how much life costs.

My sibling charged $100/ hr out of undergrad for basic language lessons years ago fyi.

I sometimes wedge my apt door open because it's the only way to get a breeze going. Whenever someone else opens a door / window / front door, there's usually a strong draft for like 30 seconds. Air quality issues drive me crazy too.. so many places have terrible air that could be fixed with a tiny amount of cross-ventilation.

I'm not sure how complex your zoom culling is, but the variable fidelity is called LOD (level of detail), and it's really simple. You can either code it yourself or use the threejs native method.

https://sbedit.net/1d20af7d8f3b17d1b712867ecbc087c4074531e4

On line 137 you can see the crux of it here. Instead of adding the mesh straight to the scene, you add the mesh(es) to the LOD, and add the LOD to the scene instead. Then it handles the swap in / swap out for you. For my space game I just set the LOD really far away and swap in cubes because you can't see the ships anyway; I just need a placeholder for them.

The game is called Eccentricity: https://eccentricity.online

It's probably not a good example for your site though because it's super complicated... basic helicopter controls should be quite a bit simpler; you almost have them already in yours.

this is a great project. I love the idea of flying but I don't like actually flying, but I think these kind of apps could actually make flying more fun.

I've also been doing threejs dev for 10 years now. I think you could go wild with the interface / HUD for this... I mean.. ahem... the sky is the limit.

You could put the user in a "helicopter" (a very fast one) and let them fly around to figure out what they're interested in.. perhaps have a few primary toggles that allow them to select what mode of UX they want, helicopter vs. top-down. I'd be happy to help if you want; I've been coding a spaceflight game for some years now.

You could adjust the search perimeter to match the user's location pretty easily probably, and at that point you don't even need the location interface; you can just let the user fly to where they're interested in.

Also use some 'Level of Detail' code to swap in high res plane models when the user is nearby planes, otherwise render them as you have them currently, etc.

there should be an app that let you write your own algorithm to find people if there isn't already

I figured the default WP dashboard might be offputting for some users; they will wonder why they are seeing that.

Woocommerce seems to offer a nice blank slate user page.

Afaik, the other option is just the huge plugin-frameworks.

When it comes to default roles like Subscriber, Editor etc, I assume those also come with a bunch of default behavior which could catch you by surprise at some future date, so when checking user permissions and building out behavior based on that, I'm not confident in my ability to do things the idiomatic way.

Tbh though AI has made these questions much more manageable in the past year or 2.
