Could you build this?
Partial A WebGPU-based 3D aquarium scene with procedural animation requires specialized knowledge of WGSL shaders, compute passes, and modern graphics pipelines beyond casual vibe coding.
What it would actually take: Built with vanilla WebGPU and WGSL or a framework like Babylon.js/Three.js. The challenging components are compute shader-driven boids flocking algorithms for fish, procedural ocean floor geometry, caustics simulation, and managing low-level GPU bind groups and buffer synchronization for high-performance rendering.
