Can you hear me ok? It’s time for another weekly episode of the…
🐸 TODEPOND PONDCAST 🐸
What’s new this week?
Replacement
This week, I’ve been working on Arroost (for the next video). I’ve been putting more in place for one of the ending sequences of the video: An infinite zoom sequence.
Zooming in forever is a bit hard. When your ‘zoom level’ gets too high, your computer struggles to deal with how large the numbers get. It gets inaccurate, and everything starts shaking around.
tldraw gets around this by limiting your camera. You can only zoom in to 800% zoom. It doesn’t let you go any further. For most use-cases, this is fine.
In screenpond, I got around this by seamlessly swapping out the world with a similar-looking world. A world that’s slightly more zoomed out, but looks the same from your current position.
