  • components/: Contains the React components used in the application.
  • App.js: The main application component.
  • index.js: The entry point of the application.

Technologies Used

This project uses the following technologies:

• React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
• Three.js: A 3D library that makes WebGL simpler.
• @react-three/fiber: A React renderer for Three.js.
• fluid-canvas: A library for creating fluid simulations on a canvas.
• fluid-simulation-react: A React component for fluid simulation.
• webgl-fluid: A WebGL-based fluid simulation library.
• @babel/runtime: Babel's modular runtime helpers.
• @emotion/react and @emotion/styled: Libraries for writing CSS styles with JavaScript.
• @mui/material: Material-UI, a popular React UI framework.
• typescript: A typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.

Features

• Interactive Fluid Simulation: Users can interact with the fluid simulation using mouse or touch inputs.
• Real-time Rendering: The simulation runs in real-time, providing a smooth and responsive experience.
• Modern UI: Built with React and Material-UI for a modern and responsive interface.
