Taos Engine is my personal learning and experimentation project — it's not available for general use. Source code is currently private.

Taos Engine

Real-time graphics,
for games and beyond.

Taos Engine is a high-quality WebGPU-based game engine, and a general-purpose graphics platform — build worlds, stream the planet, and push real-time graphics research, all from one API. It's also a place to learn: books and interactive samples teach graphics and engine techniques hands-on. It's my happy place to experiment, learn, and share what I discover.

Crafty

A voxel world with crafting, creatures, and survival. Totally original, definitely not a copy. Any resemblance to existing games is purely coincidental.

Open Source Project

Earth Explorer

Map the living Earth — live ocean, weather, wildlife, storm and wildfire feeds on a globe or any map projection, with analysis tools. Built on Taos Engine, now its own open source project.
