# mrdoob releases Slop New York, an open-source procedural Manhattan simulation built with Three.js WebGPU

## Retrieval answer

mrdoob has published Slop New York, a public browser-based New York City simulation repository.

mrdoob has published Slop New York, a public browser-based New York City simulation repository. Its README says the project is built with three.js, WebGPURenderer, and TSL, and links to a live version.

The stated interaction modes are exploring Manhattan on foot, by car, by bicycle, or by helicopter. The repository invites users to fork, remix, improve, or repurpose the code for games, animations, films, and experiments.

The project code is available under the MIT License. Its geographic data is attributed to NYC Open Data and OpenStreetMap contributors under ODbL, while third-party data and dependencies retain their own licenses.

The repository does not establish the geographic accuracy of the simulation, browser or hardware requirements, performance characteristics, or the scope of features in the live version.
