  • It does sound like one, but it isn’t. Ignoring the differences in UX:

    Passkey

    • Per-service key pair, unique per domain, Identity bound only to that specific account on that site
    • Challengeresponse via WebAuthn
    • Trust anchored only in the target service (no external CA)
    • Private key sealed in OS / secure hardware keystore

    Certificate login

    • Single global identity usable across many services
    • TLS client authentication with certificates
    • Trust established via certificate authorities and chain validation
    • Private key stored in exportable file or smartcard



  • Which language do i code it?

    doesn’t matter. If you wanna go far, pick the one you’re best at. That way you have one less hurdle.

    Which libraries would i need to use?

    I thought you wanted to do it from scratch? The standard libs will probably have all the math functions you need. + Something for keyboard and mouse input handling.

    Where to start?

    By reading something about 3d rendering. Triangle math. Projections. Lighting. Shaders. etc. You can look at university courses that publish their materials online. Or a book. Or blog guides. Or yt videos. Or stackoverflow. Or reddit posts. (quality drops aproximately in the order i’ve written it)













  • I don’t want to dox myself by saying too many details or accurate listings, but the one I worked at was basically:

    • opening the doors in a location and letting people in to do their thing.
    • occasionaly helping with location related issues (like toilet paper refills)
    • making sure the location is in order and everybody is out after they are done
    • closing the doors again
    • it started in the evening and ended a couple of hours past midnight, which my colleagues all complained about for some reason

    Other I saw occasionally in multiple locations:

    • forestfire watch. You sit in a tower in a forest and look around with binoculars every quarter hour. If you see smoke, you try to figure out where it is on a map and notify somebody. Three 8h shifts, so you can pick day, evening or night.

    • sleep research facility, where you go help the sleepers, if they have some issue in the middle of the night.
