A fully functional 3D pole-vaulting game prototype built with Three.js, featuring mobile-first design and realistic physics.

• 3D Environment: Immersive 3D world with varied terrain, platforms, and decorative elements
• Realistic Physics: Spring-damper pole mechanics with gravity and momentum
• Mobile-First Controls: Touch-optimized interface with visual feedback
• Camera-Driven Propulsion: Unique mechanic where camera rotation applies swing force

• Movement Joystick (bottom-left): Walk/run around the environment
• Vault Button (bottom-right): Hold to plant pole and swing
• Camera Control: Touch and drag to look around and aim
• Crosshair: Center screen targeting reticle

1. Target & Plant: Aim crosshair at surfaces and hold vault button to plant pole
2. Spring Physics: Pole behaves like a spring with realistic stretch/compression
3. Swing Dynamics: Player orbits around pivot point with physics-based motion
4. Camera Propulsion: Rotate camera while vaulting to apply tangential force
5. Release: Let go of vault button to detach and fly based on momentum

• Backend: Hono server serving static HTML
• Frontend: Single HTML file with embedded Three.js game
• Physics: Custom spring-damper system with gravity simulation
• Controls: NippleJS for joystick, native touch events for camera

• PoleVaultGame Class: Main game controller
• 3D Scene: Ground, platforms, trees with shadows and lighting
• Player System: Capsule mesh with physics and camera following
• Pole System: Dynamic 3D rod with spring physics and visual feedback
• Input Handling: Touch and mouse controls for cross-platform compatibility

• Fixed timestep physics for consistent behavior
• Efficient mesh updates for pole stretching
• Mobile-optimized rendering settings
• Responsive design for various screen sizes

1. Explore: Use the left joystick to move around the 3D environment
2. Look Around: Touch and drag on screen to rotate camera and aim
3. Plant Pole: Hold the red "VAULT" button while aiming at a surface
4. Build Momentum: While swinging, move the camera to apply propulsive force
5. Launch: Release the vault button at the optimal moment to fly toward distant platforms

• Large open world with varied terrain
• Multiple platforms at different heights
• Decorative trees and realistic lighting
• Shadow mapping for visual depth

• Realistic gravity and momentum
• Spring-based pole mechanics with visual feedback
• Collision detection with ground and platforms
• Smooth camera following with interpolation

• Pole color changes when stretched beyond rest length
• Dynamic pole geometry showing compression/extension
• Crosshair for precise aiming
• Smooth animations and transitions

The game is ready to play immediately - just visit the backend URL and start vaulting!

Controls Summary:

• Left joystick: Move
