Three.js 🔮
3 creative projects of the week:
1. Vole - Perfect Circle
Here’s a neat front-end game. Try drawing a perfect circle around this white dot. I’m using a trackpad, but I wonder if it’s easier with a mouse?
2. Bruno Simon
Three.js
Keeping the theme of this weekend’s tutorial, this developer turned their personal site into a 3D interactive browser game. It’s absolutely outstanding.
Here’s also a video demo of the site in case you’re on mobile or it’s not loading for you:
3. Ramen Shop Resume
Three.js
Check out this interactive personal website that takes you around a ramen shop to show off projects, articles, and about me sections! Really well done Jesse!
