Basic voxel engine in WebGL/JavaScript with full source

Simple POC of PCG voxel-engine. Contribute to Lallassu/vox2 development by creating an account on GitHub.

Basic voxel engine in WebGL/JavaScript with full source launched on April 3, 2015 with 47 votes, #967 of 3,600 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Vox2 is a basic voxel engine built with WebGL and JavaScript, designed as a proof-of-concept for procedurally generated voxel environments. Intended for developers interested in graphics programming and voxel-based game engines, it provides full source code available on GitHub for contribution and learning. The project demonstrates core voxel rendering techniques in a web-based environment.

    VoxelChain – An Experimental Voxel Engine2022 · voxelchain.app · ▲118

    VoxelChain is an experimental tool to create voxel worlds in the browser. The lighting is fully ray traced in real-time and there is powerful cellular-automata based programming system, which allows to create complex digital circuits and model the behaviour of voxels (behaviour such as falling sand or water). Technology wise, I'm using WebGL2 for the rendering and the simulation is coded in C89 and gets compiled to WebAssembly (with multi-threading) using Clang. The simulation is basically a custom cellular automaton and is fully parallelized. Once WebGPU is released, I'm planning to run the…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
