Three.js mirror cube that stays in sync

Hello HN, Mirror Cube is a Three.js based 3D model of a Rubiks cube variant. It keeps unscrambling itself doing random moves, but the moves are (ehm.. should be) synced across all devices. I built this over one week and I thought you might find it interesting. Let me know what you think and if you find any bugs! Martin

In plain words

Mirror Cube is a Three.js-based 3D model of a Rubik's cube variant that automatically performs random moves to unscramble itself. The application synchronizes these moves across all connected devices in real-time, allowing multiple users to view the same cube state simultaneously. Built as a one-week project, it combines 3D visualization with cross-device synchronization technology, making it suitable for anyone interested in interactive 3D graphics or collaborative puzzle experiences.

    I made a puzzle game with Three.js2023 · thomasfriday.com · ▲82

    A while ago I discovered three.js, a JavaScript library to manipulate 3D objects. It looked really interesting, but I had no real need for it... To change that I recently challenged myself to make one 3D web game per month with three.js. And I just release game #2, a puzzle game called Cuboid, and you can try it here: https://www.thomasfriday.com/cuboid/ Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback. Thanks!

    I wrote a symmetry game with a daily puzzle2024 · hidden-mirrors.com · ▲126

    I’ve been working on a puzzle game for a few years as a side project. The game is based on a small region of tiles in a grid that is mirrored, modified, and mirrored again. It’s based on a novel phenomenon I noticed where, once these mutations happen a few times, the original region can be hard to recognize. You have a feeling there are symmetries in the image, but they are just out of grasp. Going further, if only part of the region is visible, such as mirroring off the edge of the board, it adds to the feeling and it becomes a satisfying puzzle to solve. I originally published this on the…

  • Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
