Infinity Rooms

A lobby styled after Dots Obsession leads to four rooms:

• The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away: colour-cycling LED lanterns over a water floor, mirrored on every side. Press E to change the light programme.
• All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins: glowing dotted pumpkins between mirrors, including the floor.
• The Obliteration Room: a white furnished room with baked soft shadows. Click to add a dot sticker where you are looking.
• Phalli’s Field: a floor of red-dotted soft sculptures between facing mirrors.

How it works

• Rooms are axis-aligned boxes in a data-driven level; walls, doorways, lintels and colliders are generated from the same description.
• The infinity illusion is done without render-to-texture. Artwork is instanced once per mirror cell and the vertex shader reflects each copy into place, while lighting, fog and shadows are evaluated in the real room. Mirror surfaces write a stencil id and are pushed to the far plane, so copies only ever appear on glass.
• Shadow maps for the Obliteration Room and Phalli’s Field are baked once at load.
• Resolution scales dynamically to hold the frame rate. Add ?reach=2 to the URL to shrink the mirror grid on slow hardware.
