Lots of javascript for a "css-only" tool. Looks like just the rendering is css-only.

You can open up your terrain in codepen with nothing but CSS/HTML, and it renders fine. It's just not interactive / draggable anymore.

So the JS is only being used, essentially, as a nice UI for configuring your terrain and the camera angle from which it's viewed.

This is still an incredible feat.

Not to mention of all of those pesky HTML tags and images, clearly not CSS-only, what a fraud.

  • "CSS-only" colloquially tends to mean HTML and CSS without Javascript, sometimes without images.

    • The tone of the parent comment suggests they were writing in jest and are aware that "CSS-only" includes HTML.
