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.

I guess it'd be more accurate to call it a "Generator for CSS-Only Terrain", as the generator itself is not CSS-only.

It's a "(CSS-only Terrain) Generator", not a "CSS-only (Terrain Generator)"

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.

Yep. Can confirm this does not work with JS disabled. I'm disappointed by the misleading title.

is it a Generator for CSS-Only Terrain? or a CSS-Only Generator which creates Terrain?

We need PEMDAS for English.

Let's use sexpr?

actual meaning -> ((CSS-Only Terrain) Generator)

incorrect interpretation -> (CSS-Only (Terrain Generator))
