Lighting a large scene: DirectionalLight is the best simulation of daylight. But in a big world, you probably don’t want to light it all at once. You’ll need to update the light position and also it’s target position, what it uses to calculate it’s angle. The gotcha is: you have to run scene.add( light.target ) […]

set_cache, a workaround to bundlers. Use CLEAR_FILE to prevent accidental sed overwrites. Replace all query string numbers with $1 arg to set_cache.

Spatial audio with howlerjs quickstart

a few hurdles I had getting started with spatial audio: How do I scale “my game space” to “howler space” Remember that howler’s pos() is arbitrarily different than your position units – I found that anything beyond approx 5 “howler units” was silent. In my game, 5 units is a tiny distance, so I was […]

Custom framerate for Threejs

By default, javascript’s requestAnimationFrame will run as fast as it possibly can, and if you have much logic in your animation loop, you’ll quickly hear your computer fans start to whir.
