shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated. Sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/ Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-earth-to-more.html Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/ Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/ etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

I don't really play games, but I spent a fair amount of time on sandspiel (I saw it on hackernews a few times). https://sandspiel.club/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Sandspiel is a wonderful "Falling Sand" style game, and they just released Sandspiel Studio, which takes it into the programmable dimension, by actually letting you visually edit and define your own custom cellular automata rules using a Scratch-like block visual programming language!

That's one of my long time interests and hobbies, which I write about on HN and discuss with other people frequently. I'm supposed to be doing something else so I'll drop a few disorganized quotes and links here. (Sorry I didn't have time to be more concise!) I few years ago I ran across Max Bittker's beautiful "Sandspiel", which is a delightful cellular automata toy that simulates sand and other rules:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Yeah as another comment said, a 3D designer could make this render in Blender, then send you a video recording or multiple videos rendered to different dimensions that you can conditionally fetch on your site depending on the user's viewport width, but as the creator of this animation said in the IG comments, their project in particular was created with nodes. PixiJS is another great WebGL library, as is Three.js. Source: 11 months ago

"Window" is a generative piece exploring the different densities formed by both rigorous and pseudo-random patterns through wobbly quadrilaterals. It lives as an NFT on the Tezos blockchain through the fxhash platform: you can mint a Generative Token with every iteration producing a unique piece based on a random hash. Here, the hash seed will determine the palettes, dithering, number of subdivisions and control... Source: over 2 years ago

There should be a tool that works like this: you can create nodes (like in nodes.io, Blender, many other graphics tools etc.), then add as many inputs and outputs as you want. The outputs work like spreadsheet cells: so you can add a formula from the inputs; you can also have "internal" cells in the node for intermediate calculations. In other words, each node is a tiny spreadsheet. You can save them as templates,... Source: almost 3 years ago
