[js13k] R3V3RS3 IT

[Gio]

I had a go at js13k this year with R3V3RS3 IT, a webgl game in 10Kb (not 13 because I ran out of time before running out of space).

I wanted to have some fun while doing some research for our upcoming projects. Regardless of the outcome of the competition, it's been a success because:

1. I had lots of fun
2. I learned some new stuff

In R3V3RS3 IT you chase balls of light in a precedurally-generated 3D landscape, while reconstructing a cheerful chiptune in reverse order. Typing this I realize it does sound a bit weird

Best in Chrome (with voice synthesis!), but it does work in Firefox too. It's possible you need a decent graphics card, I haven't tried it on low-end hardware.

 

 

 

I thought I'd post some links to some of the algorithms and techniques I've used, in case people are interested:

• Perlin noise
• Toroidal unwrapping of 3D noise
• Procedural drum sounds with WebAudio
• Offline Audio Contexts
• Blinn-Phong shading
• Derivative Maps
• Precomputed derivative maps

A lot of other stuff, I just came up with it. Code is on GitHub.
