A demo of Marble Marcher, a game using a fractal physics engine and fully procedural ray-marched rendering. The player rolls a marble through shifting fractal levels.

HN recommends it as a striking example of rendering with distance-estimated fractals and non-standard graphics approaches.

True, this is something I struggled with writing and ended up with just a small note commenting that this is not widely applicable. Will clarify more in coming posts. It's all incredibly context specific. The reason for this order, is that you can very much can use all these approaches (SSAA, FXAA, MSAA etc.) for rendering simpler shapes and HUDs. So going through them, where these approaches break down and when it does make sense to go the extra mile with SDFs. Still, non-standard rendering approaches are very much a thing [1] and I could see setups like [2] be used in scientific particle visualizations. [1] ▶ this video [2] link

He has a YouTube channel as well: link Also you may like Marble Marcher made by Code Parade, it's a game that uses a similar approach to rendering: ▶ this video
