Whatever WebGPU

This is a test project that follows step-by-step the guide from Your First WebGPU App for an almost identical result, with some additional features. It was created as a learning exercise to explore and understand the WebGPU API.

Features

GPU-Accelerated Simulation: The Game of Life simulation is computed entirely on the GPU using compute shaders.
Interactive Controls: Modify simulation parameters such as interval and grid size, and reset the grid state.

Demo

Getting Started

Prerequisites

A browser with WebGPU support (e.g., the latest version of Chrome or Edge).
Node.js and pnpm installed on your system.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Floriansylvain/whatever-webgpu.git
cd whatever-webgpu

Install dependencies:
```
pnpm install
```
Start the development server:
```
pnpm run dev
```
Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173.

Usage

Use the Simulation Interval slider to adjust the time between compute updates.
Use the Grid Size slider to change the size of the simulation grid.
Click the Reset Grid button to randomize the grid state.
