Could you build this?
Partial Basic WebGPU rendering is approachable, but writing an efficient, multi-body n-body force-directed graph simulation entirely in compute shaders requires specialized parallel algorithm and WGSL knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires WebGPU compute shaders implementing Barnes-Hut or direct force calculation algorithms across large node and edge buffers in WGSL. It requires careful GPU memory layout, ping-pong compute buffers for position/velocity updates, and instanced rendering pipelines for high-performance node/edge drawing. Achieving performant, stable graph physics on the GPU requires specialized graphics and parallel compute programming expertise.
