Needlessly 3D Chrome Dinosaur Game (JavaScript/Three.js) 

this channel is so underated! I love this channel!

You’re making the greatest videos. I was just thinking about creating this and you just code it with all these other videos 😂 I hope to get to your level one day.

best channel recommendation this year, hands down

The way you say "or even godot" makes it seem like godot is worse than unity and unreal, *OFFENDED*

Great as always! That pixel dragon though 😍

Amazing content. Very happy to get it in my recommendations. I'm watching everything now and I love the algorithm analysis in the videos. Keep it up.

I don't know anything about game development but I enjoy watching your videos:)

Awesome stuff Simon! I was wondering if you could make a video about something you mention at the beginning - "instead of a sensible choice of using a Game engine". Sorry the the bit long text, I tried to keep it concise :D Could you elaborate on when choosing to use Three.js to make a game would be sensible, over using one of the other engines? I.e. some common things I'd expect would be "when you're doing a simple game, with little 3d rendering needed, or you need to interact with web/html, or when game is UI heavy and HTML/Css can be great to combine with it rendering". But I'm really wondering what your opinion/thoughts on this are with your expertise? Main reason I'm wondering about this is because we've been working on a few commercial JS/HTML games - main reasons for those are that we're from web background, and worked on some JS slot games, and it was a smooth transition for us. Also our games were very UI heavy (incremental games), and there was no need for complex object interactions to handle for any game logic, other than some simple top down 2D collisions, which were easy to optimize. Lastly, our games had a ton of frequent UI updates, where we were able to separate logic and UI code easily, to update only specific DOM, and make extensions of features very lightweight and quick to expand on, and generally our main focus was to be able to host the game on web easily. So far it's served us great, and we can re-use a lot of code, but as we're looking into more graphics/animation heavy games in the future, we have to make a decision of if we should stick to vanilla JS and add Three.js into the mix for better rendering, or just make the step to using some Engine (i.e. Godot). Any advice/thoughts on this would be amazing - what are the "general" circumstances/goals of a company to keep using custom code + a rendered like Three.js, vs "just make the damn move towards an Engine"?

ok now this is epic

Do you have any ideas how a character runs over infinite tiles in threejs?

Thanks! How can run this project on my local and what program can we use it for run?

awesome works!! amazing

You deserve more subscribers :D

powerful content

Love watching these videos, watched the RPG one recently and had an idea: why not throw it into one of the quick JS desktop app frameworks. I used Tauri. It was minimal work to throw your JS code into a Tauri app and then I had a working standalone application running off pure JS. If you wanted to make small apps for fun and release them as such, that would be an easy way to do it!

Why you make the underscore on the members?

awesome video

Nice! github link for this demo?

Also pro at copying and pasting😫😫.............I want to be like you!!!

hey simon . Is there any source code for this game?

noicee

could you make a tutorial on it?

1089 points absolutely destroyed the game

Start tutorials like this

If I had a computer I would litrally not understand ANY OF THIS I would just watch some RU-vid

Lol. You are funny...

src

Your voice is kinda soothing idk why. I know this is not a tutorial but I still managed to learn something despite being a complete beginner so thanks.

Hey Simon, you can go as a guest creator on the Traversy Media channel so more and more people will start to know you...

Hey SimonDev, great content! Do you plan to setup some kind of patreon or trello board and take requests for topics? I'm willing to pay to learn more about topics related to procedural world generation and performance optimisations. Trying to learn game dev in my free time and I found your videos really helpful. Also do you plan to stay with Javascript and Three.js or would you consider building something in Unreal Engine or C++? Loved your 3D World Generation series!

you should make a compilation of all the things people made with this. id love to see it

You said you would fix how the raptor keeps running while being in the air but you never did that! LIAR!

Not sure why you use three for this project. This is so simple I would rather write it from a scratch. Much more flexible

We'd be leaving in 2050 if web devs used more flexbox, no need to be modest

This is awesome !!!

Hi SimonDev, I love your tutorials and your content, aren't you considering creating a Patreon account? I've been learning Three.js for two weeks, and with your help, I've been able to code half of my interactive 3D portfolio world during this time! I would like to see and support growth of your channel :)

Normal dev: Making this look better SimonDev: Making this still look even more less bad

if you also want to make it more performant and less resource intensive, you can implement LODs for the models that you've used.

sweet !

Just found this gem of a channel for 3.js. loved it and now gotta try it thanks a ton 🙋‍♀️

Sir, in my computer's browser doesn't work properly, it feels stuck, does it require high specifications for computer ?

Please do more of the hands on games and coding ones with javascript. You’re an animal! 😊

So.. chrome lets you make an extension to run locally in dev mode. Which means you can have an extension check for the 'offline' message, then on detection replace the page with your game.

Nice! started working on it myself but never managed to finish it 😅

That so good . Just wow professional man

bro why did you destroy cacti as soon as you jump over them? I felt like they should be destroyed when they are outside of the screen

Fantastic! I learned a lot, thank you :)

Thanks for the video! Really cool 💜

Link to play?

Very cool!

Minecraft clone not working

5:58 what title book on this time?

your casual javascript wizardy is amazing. I am obviously also partial to this video for your taste in dinosaurs as well.

Great video! Underated channel for sure. I love seeing the things people can make with three.js. I'm still a complete beginner when it comes to programming. Im self taught, and I know some javascript, python, c#, css and html, enough to make a basic unity game or basic website, but when I see some of the things people can do with three.js I feel like im still so far away from that skill level. Ive been fortunate enough to have the time and ability to practice coding for 11-13 hours a day the last 2 weeks and hopefully into the future, and ive already learned more than I had in the last 2 years of very rare coding practice, with long breaks, so I know its just about time, but its overwhelming how much there is to learn, (especially when you kind of suck at math because you didnt pay attention in high school). How did you learn to code? And do you have any advice for a learning plan, or is it all about putting in the time? Again, I love the videos, keep it up!

When in doubt: Flex box.

where i can find this project it doesn't exit on github

Hello SimonDev, I would like to ask for your advice. I'm making a PS2 Bios "remake" (those spinning, glowing balls) for my website. Reference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cxk1gI2sg3w.html How would you do those light trails? I tried the "afterimage postprocessing" but it didn't provide the result that I want. Looking forward to your answer, thank you in advance!

Keep up your great work! Thanks

Hey man do you think javascript games will ever have a successful future or if you arent using unity/unreal its never gonna work out?

What's the GitHub repo name for this project?

3:46 looks like mobile games when you play them

That was incredible

why the game looks lagy?

i realy love this channel

When I downloaded the zip and tried to launch the index HTM, it comes up with the starter screen saying no internet but when I try and click it doesn't go into the game. Why would this be

🔥

Where do we get code
