Credits
Everything this site and game are built from: the open-source tech powering it, and an honest account of every visual and audio asset.
Made with
UI library for the portfolio shell and HUD
Client-side routing between the home/portfolio/résumé/credits pages
- TypeScript (opens in a new tab)Apache-2.0
Strict static typing across the whole codebase
Dev server and production build/bundler
WebGL 3D renderer underneath the driving game
React renderer for three.js — the game scene graph
Helper components/hooks for react-three-fiber (loaders, camera helpers, etc.)
React bindings for the Rapier physics engine
- Rapier (opens in a new tab)Apache-2.0
The physics engine itself (raycast vehicle controller, collisions, ragdoll props)
Game state store (state machine, heat/score, settings)
Developer debug/tuning panel — development builds only, stripped from production
Privacy-respecting page/event analytics (loaded only in production, off during tests)
Assets
Every 3D model in the game — every car, building, prop, pedestrian-free street fixture, police/military unit, and landmark — is procedural: built from primitive geometry authored directly in code, not downloaded or imported from any asset library. The original plan was to source CC0 kits from Kenney.nl/Quaternius/Poly Pizza (see the project README), but those hosts were unreachable from the build environment for the entire project, so the fallback (100% procedural geometry) became the shipped path for every asset rather than a partial one.
Every sound in the game — engine notes, sirens, impacts, gunfire, explosions, transformer hums/zaps, ambience, and UI stingers — is synthesized in real time with the Web Audio API, not played back from recorded audio files. howler.js is listed in package.json as the originally-planned playback layer for CC0 sound assets, but with no fetchable sound library it ended up unused; the shipped audio manager talks to the Web Audio API directly instead.

A note on all this
Smashy the 6ix is a stylized homage, not an affiliate, partner, or representation of any real city, business, government agency, or person. Every landmark in the game (the tower, the stadium, the market district, and so on) is a fictionalized, low-poly silhouette built from public knowledge of Toronto’s skyline — not a scan, model, or trademarked likeness of a real structure. Police and military units use generic markings ("POLICE" in a plain typeface, flat colors) rather than any real department's insignia.
"Smashy the 6ix" is this project’s own working title, not a licensed or third-party name.
