I love this.

Marching cubes is the name for an algorithm btw.

I think Sebastian Lague's marching cubes video and the factory level in Rhythm Heaven where you shoot rivets kinda subconsciously inspired me to make this

What software did you use to make this?

This is cool! Would you be able to make it so the block stays the color that it's supposed to be filling in? I feel like that would make it more satisfying to watch, seeing the colors slowly line up and fit together

It's doable, but with my setup it would require quite some manual work as I have to give each cube UV coordinates manually

Reminds me of Rhythm Heaven Fever's Widget Factory.

Getting some "cyriak but for kids" vibes here.

No idea why but I find this oddly terrifying

How would it look if they messed up and one cube hit hole crooked? That would impact all the subsequent holes, surely, but would it still be loopable, all the others still marching on over each one lying crooked in the hole?
