Show HN: WebGL Voxel Engine

I&#x27;m (slowly) working on my own game largely inspired by a previous version of this engine. The repo with the previous version:<p>- [Lallassu&#x2F;Qake: Qake voxel-engine demo](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Lallassu&#x2F;Qake" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Lallassu&#x2F;Qake</a>)<p>I was really floored by how much functionality was possible with what seems like so little code.

Needs a loading indicator, I thought it was broken until the assets started popping in.

i think the degree to which Three.JS has allowed programmers access to the world of modern 3d is severely understated. If you haven&#x27;t tried it, go to threejs.org&#x2F;examples&#x2F; and copy and paste some source, it&#x27;s _incredibly_ simple to start hacking.

Very cool looking game!<p>What&#x27;s the purpose of the node server in the code (as opposed to just opening the HTML document in a browser)? Do you have plans to use websockets or something to add multiplayer?

Cool, lacking the ability to strafe.

It&#x27;s unplayable on an AZERTY keyboard. On such layout the controls should be: ZQSD instead of WASD.<p>AZERTY layout: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;AZERTY#&#x2F;media&#x2F;File:KB_France.svg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;AZERTY#&#x2F;media&#x2F;File:KB_France.s...</a>

This is a very nice looking game. Congrats! Love the ambience of the game. It is very immersive.

Here is my wishlist:<p>Something like GVDB that runs in WebGL and can handle arbitrary dimensional volumes.<p>It&#x27;s a very tall order!

After playing one round this completely froze my Macbook Pro and I had to force boot.

This is really nice work and the code is very readable and clear! Thank you

It&#x27;s almost playable with no hardware accelerated graphics.

Very cool, controls are a bit awkward though.
