I'm sorry, this is by design colorful and interactive. If you still want to read about this topic in a less "juicy" way, you can can take a look at this other article: https://hinnefe2.github.io/python/tools/2015/09/21/mario-kar...

Can you tell me what’s going on? I tried my best to make it work on every device, but handling mobile is hard, and especially when you’re messing with interactivity and 3D.

Author here. The source code is available at https://github.com/SuperMayo/mayerowitz.io.

It’s called scrollytelling. For this particular project, I borrowed a lot from https://mlu-explain.github.io/. For the 3D elements, I used Threejs and a custom vertex shader for the 3D plot.

Yes, I could have been using THREE.OrthographicCamera(), however, it makes the effect way less cinematic, and most importantly, it makes the depth harder to see (particularly for a scatter plot).

It's the latest version, stats are from https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe_in-game_statis...

Thanks a lot! That was my goal. It's a trick I learned: if you zoom in from a distance, everything appears flat. The effect is achieved by zooming out while simultaneously moving the camera closer to the subject!

Author here. I'm using Svelte, which is great for interactive applications. For the event handling I'm very influenced by what https://mlu-explain.github.io/ does. The 3d plot is made with Threejs through the Threlte wrapper. One challenge was animating the 20k points in the 3d plot, which is handled by a custom vertex shader.

That's strange, what browser are you using?

Didn't know that, thanks for the tip!

That's really nice to hear and it gives motivation to continue! Next article will probably go 3D, but it adds a lot of difficulties. I still need to find out a good small-scale but playful shader project to cover!

Inigo Quilez is a wizard, the shader community owes so much to him!

Indeed it's a simplification! You can use buffers to keep information from previous states or share state between pixels (for both fragment and compute shaders). Though it can greatly reduce the performance sometimes. For an intro however, I think it's simpler to assume no memory nor shared state.
