  • This thing is killing my CPU, what's the actual bottleneck here for CSS? Is it the number of elements visible and rendered at once? Is it the calculation engine backing CSS is super slow? Or just that most of the work is being done on the CPU it seems (on my machine, rotating around the map, my integrated GPU goes to 20% but CPU stays around 40-50%).

  • I've used a few terrain generators before but I think this one might be my favourite. Obviously the fact its a "CSS only" demo project restricts things a bit, but its got enough going for it regardless.

    It actually comes at a really good time for me, I'm currently trying to make the transition from 2d game dev to 3d and things like this are really helpful.

    Very cool

  • Really reminds me of openttd, especially the sandy border around the water

    Looks really cool and runs great on my phone.

    Seems like there's some kind of rendering bug in the corners sometimes causing the walls to intersect the grass

  • This is incredible - looks like SimCity 2000.

  • Lots of javascript for a "css-only" tool. Looks like just the rendering is css-only.

  • Wow this really feels like roller coaster tycoon!!! (I can see lots of people refer to this to their favorite sim game though)

    Great work!

  • When I turn off JS, it shows a loader instead of the terrain. Is this really CSS-Only? I mean it's still a high achievement even with JS, but was expecting it would also work without JS. This one, for example, truly works without JS https://benjaminaster.com/css-minecraft/ .
