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.
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.
- 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)
- 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
- 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
- Start: Click the game area or press spacebar to begin
- Wait: The shape will turn orange - don't click yet!
- React: When the shape turns green, click as fast as possible
- Improve: Track your stats and try to beat your best time
- โก Amazing: < 200ms
- ๐ฏ Very Good: 200-250ms
- โ Good: 250-300ms
- ๐ Average: 300-400ms
- ๐ Below Average: > 400ms
- 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
const GameState = {
IDLE: 'idle',

// Change random delay range (currently 1-5 seconds)
const delay = 1000 + Math.random() * 4000;
// Adjust animation speeds
this.dodecahedron.rotation.x += 0.003; // Rotation speedUpdate CSS custom properties or JavaScript color values to match your brand.
Extend the createComplexShape() method to add additional 3D geometries.
