Wow, I'm loving the creativity that went into Gold Fountain. The way you've used React Three Fiber and AI to bring that fountain to life is seriously cool. I'm especially impressed by the fact that you've managed to balance performance and visual appeal β it's a really delicate balance to strike, but it totally pays off when you're clicking and watching those coins orbit. γ½(οΏ£ΟοΏ£(οΏ£ΟοΏ£γ)γ
Thank you for checking! π
3D animation is quite hard for me, and I always run into a lot of problems. However, when I finish a project, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
That sense of accomplishment is what keeps us hooked to doing hard things γ½(οΏ£ΟοΏ£(οΏ£ΟοΏ£γ)γ
I think youβre really good at creating a sense of "accomplishment" since you achieve so many wins every week.π
Just keep doing the work, the wins come as a reflection of your effort!
Wow, that phrase is powerful! Your words always capture my heart! π
I want to become a millionaire! But the app stops at 50,000 and I need more πͺπͺπͺπ€
Cool animation!
Thank you!
Haha! π€£ I didnβt think 50,000 coins wouldnβt be enough. Unfortunately, if I increase the limit too much, the animation gets too slow. But Iβm now preparing another fountain that will make you even richer, so please stay tuned! π€
So this is where all the crypto currency goes then when people can't access their wallets anymore! XD
Haha! π€£ Thatβs a funny idea. But donβt worryβmy Gold Fountain is 100% legal and never harms others. It just makes people happy! π«‘
I lost my meta mask wallet backup codes. I had them written down and haven't been able to find that piece of paper. Its my own fault. Luckily, there wasnt much in it as I wasnt too serious about it at the time. πππ But now I know where abandoned coins go! Thanks for the resolve. Appreciate you. π¦βοΈπ€£
Thatβs too bad you lost your recovery code. π° I hope you find it at the bottom of a drawer.
Crypto has gone up quite a lot these days. I should have bought someβIβd be a real millionaire now if I had. π©
Oooo that's fun. I clicked it like 10 times. ππ¦
Thank you for clicking! 10 clicks Γ 2,000 coins, and you get $120,000,000! π°π°π°
By the way, your Halloween vampire animation was so coolβI still canβt get that scary face out of my head. π§ββοΈ
Thank you! XD <3
Couldn't ignore the title :D
Thank you for checking it out! I made many people millionaires in a second. Now itβs your turn to become a millionaire. Enjoy the Coin Fountain! πͺπͺπͺ
The most useless lovable thing ahah
Thank you for checking! Iβm now creating an even more useless updated version, so stay tuned! π
Nice man! It is so cool and funny gif. You made my day! I start to follow you on github.
Ben :)
Thank you! Haha! Starting your day with a click on the Gold Fountain might bring you good luck? πͺ I followed you back on GitHub.
Thank you! I win the lottery big time now.heheh :)
Well, you usually lose the lottery and feel down, but my magical box always gives you lots of coins and makes you feel better. Thatβs the point of this app. π
It is so true :).heheheh.
Okay this is unironically one of the most fun ways Iβve seen performance engineering explained. You turned βI want to be richβ into a GPU stress test and somehow made InstancedMesh + WASM feel like a game instead of a lecture. Respect.
What I really like is that this isnβt just visual candy β you actually explain why things work: batching draw calls, selective collision checks, typed arrays, and then going βcool, now letβs see what happens if we offload this to Rust.β Thatβs the kind of experiment mindset that actually teaches people something instead of just showing off a demo.
The Rust vs JS timing display is a nice touch too. It makes the tradeoffs real: not βRust is faster,β but βRust is faster after you pay the bridge tax.β Thatβs a lesson a lot of people miss when they hype WASM.
Suggestion-wise: I think you could push this even further by turning it into a tiny βphysics playground.β Let users toggle modes:
β JS physics vs Rust physics
β gravity up/down
β coin vs diamond vs chaos mode
β maybe a βslow-moβ or βfreeze + orbit inspectβ mode
Basically: lean into the fact that this is already a living benchmark + toy. Right now itβs a fountain β it could become a lab.
Alsoβ¦ calculating your net worth per click is peak dev humor. Financial advice, but GPU-accelerated π€πͺ
Thank you for your deep analysis! π Iβm happy to hear that my post was both fun and educational. Comments from experts like you are as valuable as gold. πͺ
Itβs a great idea to add more features and make my app even more fun and educational. Iβll give it a try and share an update if I succeed.
Love this! Watching the gold fountain is such a mood booster. Itβs a great little escape from the daily grind. Thank you!
Thank you! π I'm glad you liked it. I'm working on an updated version now, so I hope it boosts your mood even more!
Great post! I never coded in Rust . Seeing performance difference between native javascript, I have new appreciation for it now. Cheers
Thank you for checking! π
It was a great chance to learn that using Rust can speed up the app, even though thereβs some overhead. Iβd like to learn more about performance if I have the chance. π¨
Yes, that's very creative and fun to use :))
Thank you for checking! I hope you click the magical box a lot and become a millionaire like me too. π°π°π°
Excellent Post! You are so creative, I love your articles. This was really fun.
Thank you for your compliment!π It is very fun to make a ridiculous idea into a working app. Just click the magical box when you need more coins.πͺπͺπͺ
