Everyone forgets what machines are capable of if you actually optimize. This game did everything shown here in real time on phones 14 years ago https://youtu.be/JDvPIhCd8N4

Have you heard of KKrieger? So yeah, if you optimize enough, machines can do quite cool stuff!

I think KKrieger required pretty beefy specs for the time. It's a different kind of optimization they were aiming for (code size Vs execution speed)

Although a friend of mine ran it on an integrated intel GPU recently and it performed great.

It's running fine (not too smoothly but ok) on my 8 years old Xiaomi MI6.

Demoscene never gets old, but why we get then so little submissions of it here? Demoscene reifies the creative-hacking culture, is it not?

Here is a trick: pause the simulation and drag the ripples back and forth really fast, it will create a "mega" wave. Then unpause and it will create a massive tsunami

Or pause it and click the water surface 100 times to raise up a lot of potential energy that makes a very profound wave front when it comes down when you start it.

On this note, can anyone recommend basic webgl 2d effects tutorial? I have a super exciting project I'm really close to announcing, but the last step is adding some pretty Animal Well style effects via webgl2, but I know practically nothing about webgl except the very very basics that you learn from webgl2fundamentals.org. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I like https://thebookofshaders.com/ . It’s unfinished and I don’t think it’s been updated in years, but what’s there is pretty good

The "problem" with it is that you only learn about fragment shaders, you should also learn about the WebGL API, and vertex shaders.

▲

Not having to learn the API & vertex shaders is definitely a feature of ShaderToy, not a problem. :P The extremely low barrier to entry to writing shaders is one of it’s best qualities. Anyway, the question asked about 2d effects, so they maybe don’t need vertex shaders, and they can of course learn the small amount of WebGL API needed somewhere else like https://webgl2fundamentals.org/.

... this is amazing!

I can't wait to dig in and figure out how to add effects like this over my 2d content!

It’s super easy. ShaderToy draws a rectangle on the screen and runs the given shader on it. There’s a small amount of plumbing to wire in a few variables like time & mouse position, and your texture coordinates. The rendering part of ShaderToy is simple enough that you can make your own clone in a day. The rest of the site is the hard part, the editor, the API & saving shaders in the cloud, getting lots of people to write awesome shaders, etc., but the rendering part is near trivial.

"Uncaught Error: This demo requires the OES_texture_float extension WebGL Water Made by Evan Wallace

This demo requires a decent graphics card and up-to-date drivers. If you can't run the demo, you can still see it on YouTube.

Interactions: Draw on the water to make ripples Drag the background to rotate the camera Press SPACEBAR to pause and unpause Drag the sphere to move it around Press the L key to set the light direction Press the G key to toggle gravity Features: Raytraced reflections and refractions Analytic ambient occlusion Heightfield water simulation * Soft shadows Caustics (see this for details) * * requires the OES_texture_float extension * requires the OES_standard_derivatives extension" on Android Chrome.

Wasnt this one of the demo that Figma co-founder used make a case for web-based editor?

This is probably the first time (not counting ignored times) it was been posted which doesn't have comments about breakage on some browser.

Makes you wonder how long it takes that WebGPU reaches the same status.

After all these years, Android Chrome still doesn't support the extensions required by this demo, this is the issue with Web 3D adoption.

Actually, I just cross-checked on WebGL Report, and it does indeed support the extension, not that changes having a black page complaining the extension is missing.
