The full story
A stylised low-poly 3D Earth built from open map and elevation data. It's written in Rust and runs in the browser on WebGPU (desktop only for now), after starting as a native Mac app. The author says it was fully vibe-coded over about 80 days with Claude Code and Codex. It's playable at play.lowpolyearth.online.
