Reaction Timer Game

A modern, visually stunning reaction timer game built with Three.js and vanilla JavaScript. Test your reflexes while enjoying immersive 3D graphics and smooth animations.

Reaction Timer Game Preview Three.js Vanilla JS

๐ŸŽฏ Overview

This reaction timer game challenges users to click as quickly as possible when a 3D shape changes from orange to green. It features a complex dodecahedron with nested geometric shapes, particle effects, and professional UI design.

โœจ Features

Core Gameplay

  • Accurate Timing: Millisecond-precise reaction time measurement
  • Random Delays: 1-5 second random intervals to prevent pattern recognition
  • False Start Detection: Prevents cheating with early clicks
  • Performance Rating System: Categorizes reactions from "Amazing" (<200ms) to "Below Average" (>400ms)

Visual Excellence

  • 3D Graphics: Complex dodecahedron with nested icosahedron and tetrahedron
  • Dynamic Animations: Shape rotation, scaling, and breathing effects
  • Particle Systems: Background particles and burst effects on ready state
  • Responsive Lighting: Ambient, directional, and dynamic point lighting
  • Visual State Feedback: Color-coded game states with smooth transitions

User Experience

  • Intuitive Controls: Click or spacebar to interact
  • Comprehensive Statistics: Tracks attempts, best time, and average performance
  • Mobile Responsive: Optimized for desktop and mobile devices
  • Interactive Tutorial: Built-in instructions overlay
  • Professional Design: Modern dark theme with gradient accents

๐ŸŽฎ How to Play

  1. Start: Click the game area or press spacebar to begin
  2. Wait: The shape will turn orange - don't click yet!
  3. React: When the shape turns green, click as fast as possible
  4. Improve: Track your stats and try to beat your best time

Performance Guide

  • โšก Amazing: < 200ms
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Very Good: 200-250ms
  • โœ… Good: 250-300ms
  • ๐Ÿ‘ Average: 300-400ms
  • ๐ŸŒ Below Average: > 400ms

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Technical Implementation

Technologies Used

  • Three.js r128: 3D graphics and animations
  • Vanilla JavaScript: Game logic and state management
  • CSS3: Modern styling with gradients and backdrop filters
  • HTML5: Semantic structure and canvas integration

Key Components

Game State Management

const GameState = {
    IDLE: 'idle',
    WAITING: 'waiting',
    READY: 'ready',
    COMPLETE: 'complete',
    FALSE_START: 'falseStart'
};

3D Scene Setup

  • Dodecahedron: Main 12-sided geometric shape
  • Nested Shapes: Inner icosahedron and tetrahedron
  • Lighting System: Ambient, directional, and dynamic point lights
  • Particle Effects: Background particles and reactive burst animations

Performance Optimizations

  • Efficient animation loops with requestAnimationFrame
  • Proper memory management for 3D objects
  • Responsive design with device pixel ratio handling
  • Optimized particle systems with lifecycle management

๐Ÿ”ง Customization

Modifying Timing Parameters

// Change random delay range (currently 1-5 seconds)
const delay = 1000 + Math.random() * 4000;

// Adjust animation speeds
this.dodecahedron.rotation.x += 0.003; // Rotation speed

Color Scheme Updates

Update CSS custom properties or JavaScript color values to match your brand.

Adding New Shapes

Extend the createComplexShape() method to add additional 3D geometries.
