VeikkAS

A proof of concept for the Veikkaus "Next Level of Interactive Gaming Experiences" WebGPU/WebWorker challenge for Junction 2023. Built with Typescript, Sveltekit and Rust and using BabylonJS for WebGPU rendering.

Features include but are not limited to:

• Transforming DOM text into physics objects with a WebWorker
• Physics simulation with Matter.js
• Rendering with WebGPU
• Thrilling and innovative gameplay with a scratch off game that's handled in the backend (awesome graphics included !!)

Future plans:

• Move all rendering to the GPU
• Utilize WebGPU compute shaders for physics simulation
• Cooler effects like attractors and boids that can react to whatever is happening in the DOM
• Ditch external renderer (BabylonJS) and write a custom one
• Font deformation utilizing the physics engine
• More indepth gameplay
• More awesome graphics (update: no need for this, the current graphics can't be beat 😎)
