To take a break, I decided to revisit some old stuff. It might all be outdated now, but still. A small but interesting challenge involving implementing “fog of war” in 3D. Inside are the implementation details and a demo project in THREE.js.
This came about spontaneously, as it’s a bit of an unconventional topic and I wasn’t planning on writing about it. I made it while I was tidying up the code for the New Year’s counter on the main page with a hidden game inside. I thought I’d publish it publicly (maybe someone will find it interesting). I’m not a game developer, but I do have some experience. :) Basically, here’s an outside perspective on the things you should consider if you decide to take this on.
