Board Game Arena

I've been having fun today with web browser 3D transformations, calculating dihedral angle rotations, circumradius, and apothem Z-axis translations.

I put pentagonal tiles onto a player's 3D dodecahedron for the game Planet (if BGA can get the license from Blue Orange).

I can probably add some shadows and stuff.

This board game is 3D. It will require 3D CSS transforms but according to this site, 98.6% of all current browsers support it!

wow, it looks great !

You may have a look at Taluva or the forthcoming Santorini

I've added you to the Santorini Player group so that you can have a glance at it.
It's using Three.js as a 3D render engine, which should allow you to do a textured dodecahedron in a glance (the most difficult part is making it work on BGA framework, but I can help you with that).
3D-rendering of BGA (or using css) can look nice but when it comes to rotate the view.... (which is done using OrbitControls in a few lines in Threejs)

webgl is certainly very cool and surprisingly well supported but for my dodecahedron just some 3D transforms on the tiles do it nicely so I think I'd go with the light-weight approach. I'm keen to work on some of my own favourite games (Quantum — waiting to see if anyone has source graphic files before I give up and scan my copy, and Planet if the publisher allows).

Sure, the lightweight approach will render nicely, but if you want to be able to move around the planet to see the different faces, it will probably be a nightmare. You could still re-use the OrbitsControls and hack it into css transform to give the right euler angles, but I'm not sure it's worth the time cost.

I can easily rotate the whole dodecahedron around it's centre just with CSS transform.

It's 3 DIVs deep,

1. tile face (set to any 1 of 5 angles around Z axis)
2. segment (translated up to surface of dodecahedron and rotated into position)
3. the whole 12-segment shape which can be rotated any which way with mouse / finger drag.

The screenshot was taken at a stylish rotateZ(10deg) rotateY(-19deg) rotateX(31deg) which looked more interesting than a straight vertical 0 0 0. Probably just do X and Y rotation in-game.

No word about Planet yet, but I got the card art for Quantum!
