Some toys

• A GPU implementation of Conway's Game of Life. You can set the board as you like, and then that gets buffered to a texture. That textured "image" is processed using a 3x3 kernel to determine if what cells are alive or dead in the next iteration, and the updated board is rendered to another texture, as well as to the screen. Those two textures go back and forth for the rest of the simulation.
• A Mandelbrot Set implementation. A first pass uses some functional programming in vanilla JavaScript to get a correct Mandelbrot set up on a canvas. With that complete, a real explorer is implemented in WebGL using a fragment shader. This is both my first exposure to JavaScript and to shader art, I guess.
• Some simple geometry exercises. Here I try to lump in as many graphics fundamentals as I can into a light emitting sphere orbiting another sphere. Doing this in JS without libraries like GLM, this has been a good opportunity to really understand how the transformations used in graphics work.
• Pong Clone A simple pong clone. A first foray into collision detection and some minimal game state. Enjoy.
