   Playcanvas is good

   As someone who recently started game development, finding the right engine has always been very difficult, It was till Chat-GPT (yes the Ai) recommended me playcanvas, it's Ui was challenging and its learning curve was steep, but at the end of the day it felt rewarding to understand and achieve something. So my final verdict, if you want to make 3D games, not go through the hassle of unity or work anywhere anytime, go for playcanvas.

   🏁 Competitors: Unity

   👍 Pros:    Fun

• Fast Factorial Algorithms

  Let's hope this is going to help me solve some more Project Euler [1] problems! [1] https://projecteuler.net/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• I Miss Thinking Hard

  Https://projecteuler.net/ for "Thinker" brain food. (it still has the issue of not being a pragmatic use of time, but there are plenty interesting enough questions which it at least helps). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• A simple leaderboard changed player behavior in my puzzle game

  I have a Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net/) account. Though I do not register at all on the leader board I will sometimes work obsessively on a problem just to make one of the level icons light up for me. There is not really competition just a tiny reward. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Does hobby programming indicate that you would rather invent than discover?

  I do hobby programing. It is sometimes to create something (supposedly) useful. Lately though it is more discovery and a little math like. I enjoy Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net/. Recently I have been playing with superpermutations (https://projecteuler.net/) and pencil and paper is useful but filling lots of paper with lots of numbers is not that fun. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Solving 100 Project Euler problems using 100 languages

  As pointed out in a sibling comment, it appears that quote only shows up if you're logged in, but assuming you have an account and are logged in, it's on the homepage (https://projecteuler.net/), second paragraph under the following heading: > I learned so much solving problem XXX, so is it okay to publish my solution elsewhere? > It appears that you have answered your own question.

• Show HN: Spark, An advanced 3D Gaussian Splatting renderer for Three.js

  BabylonJS and the OP's own Aframe [1] seem to have similar licenses, similar number of Github stars and forks, although Aframe seems newer and more game / VR focused. How do Babylon, Aframe, Three.js, and PlayCanvas [2] compare from those that have used them? IIUC, PlayCanvas is the most mature, featureful, and performant, but it's commercial. Babylon is the featureful 3D engine, whereas Three.js is fairly raw.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Normal Map Interpolation on Deferred Shading

  For some reason that I cannot understand in my case the calculated shading normals are pixelated. Compared to playcanvas.com (probably a forward renderer), mine is like utter shit. Source: about 3 years ago

• Migrating from WordPress After 12 Years

  PlayCanvas has been using WordPress for 12 years now. Generally speaking, it's been fine. However, after much consideration, we have migrated away to Jekyll + GitHub Pages. I thought our experience might be of interest to other WordPress users (if only to confirm why you wouldn't consider switching): Https://blog.playcanvas.com/moving-from-wordpress-to-jekyll-a-case-study/ Interested to hear peoples' thoughts...

• I made a 3D editor that models in pure CSS+HTML

  It's just a cool tech demo that pushes CSS to its limits, but it's completely useless if you want to create usable 3d models. If you want to model in the browser, you can check out vectary, playcanvas, or spline. Source: about 3 years ago

• I made a 3D editor that models in pure CSS+HTML

  The model in the video has no spheres, which is why the performance is decent. In any case, I agree with you for the most part, I'm just lazy and didn't expect anyone to actually want to use this for serious modelling. You should check out playcanvas or vectary if you are serious about in-browser 3D modelling. Source: about 3 years ago
