Matt Shumer's destructible voxel engine breaks buildings in a browser
Text
The creator credits Fable 5.2 with building and optimizing the interactive engine.
Shoot a block-built building and pieces break away rather than playing one fixed collapse. Matt Shumer showcases a browser engine written with Fable 5.2 and links a playable version.
Shumer set the from-scratch challenge. He says the model alternated visual improvements and optimization until it ran on his MacBook.
Voxels are small blocks composing a three-dimensional world. This is interactive software, though the showcase video was captured frame by frame using scripted input.
The destruction is not a validated engineering simulation. The concrete achievement is an AI-assisted world responding to a player's actions, rather than only a generated video.
