F-14 Tomcat with a world to fly in

Or keep reading for details and screenshots.

Or play around with the boat…


(Crank up “Torque Boost” in the settings to max to make the rudder work)

The “Environment” setting changes light and fog to some various presets.

Or zoom out and look around at the world:

The flight physics are very fake for now. just applies force and torque from the controls. But making that better later will be fun so it will happen.

This is my first stab at doing anything with the WebGPU renderer. Enjoying it so far!

The terrain system builds a height buffer from a png for use in the shader and physics. It has a separate “groundTypeTexture” which defines color and some properties for stuff like the trees so they know where to hang around.

Things I have in mind to do from here include stuff like:

  • Various camera modes and controls
  • Shoot the cannon and fire missiles
  • Buildings to blow up
  • Dynamic lights that can turn on and off (now its all static emissive)
  • Better flight and vehicle controls
  • More types of planes and vehicles to play with
  • Various starting points, such as catapulting from the boat

But we’ll get to see.
