Objects, meshes, materials, behaviors and an orbit camera in thirty lines.
Searching text with a compute shader
How the JSON viewer checks every character position on the GPU at once, and where that beats the CPU.
WebGPU vs WebGL: real numbers
The same scene drawn with both APIs, measured, with a benchmark you can run yourself.
Sun shadows, explained
Shadow maps for a city that never ends: following the car, filtering and fighting shadow acne.

Lanes, junction turns, spacing and spawning cars around the player.
Car physics without a physics engine
A small driving model that feels right on a keyboard and a phone.
Streaming an open world with Web Workers
Building geometry off the main thread so driving never stutters.
