StarkNet's first physics-powered onchain reality
This post documents Topology's presentation at DEFCON '22 - the high level design philosophy of onchain realities at Topology, and an overview of Isaac - Starknet’s first physics-powered onchain reality. “Onchain realities will be nonskeuomorphic.” ~ guiltygyoza 1. Real depth onchain Video games cut corners in their code to optimize for believability under performance constraints (e.g. frame rate). Video games also make abundant use of "shallow" complexity, such as the proliferation of perlin noise, which short-circuits complexity and places an impenetrable bound on complexity once…
