From a1ddb0c55df26856ec095ae24f3a8362d1ce84a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 23:35:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Migrate Dandelion Seeds to WebGPU Compute Shaders - Replaced `InstancedBufferAttribute` CPU updates with `StorageInstancedBufferAttribute` GPU processing for dandelion seeds. - Refactored `spawnDandelionExplosion` to utilize a staging buffer and queue mechanism to pass batch spawn events to the GPU, preventing single-frame uniform clobbering. - Integrated the new `updateDandelionSeeds` compute call synchronously into the main `game-loop.ts`. - Addressed WGSL type strictness by using `uint` uniforms and `remainder` instead of floats for array indexing logic in `dandelion-seeds.ts`. - Updated `plan.md` to mark the feature complete.
