The Prompt
Create a simple 3D running game that can be played in a web browser using HTML and JavaScript.
The game should feature a man character running forward continuously, with basic controls to jump over obstacles. Incorporate simple 3D visuals using WebGL or a JavaScript 3D library such as Three.js.
**Key requirements:**
– The main character (a man) runs forward automatically.
– The player must control the character to jump to avoid obstacles.
– Include simple 3D graphics for the environment and character.
– Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; you may use Three.js or another suitable 3D library.
– The game should be playable directly in a browser without additional installations.
**Steps:**
1. Set up a basic HTML5 page with a canvas element for rendering.
2. Initialize the 3D scene using Three.js or WebGL.
3. Create a running man model or use a simple shape to represent the character.
4. Implement continuous forward movement of the character.
5. Design and place obstacles in the path that the player must jump over.
6. Implement jump controls (e.g., spacebar or mouse click) to make the character jump.
7. Detect collisions with obstacles to end or restart the game.
8. Add basic lighting and simple textures to enhance the 3D effect.
**Output Format:**
– Provide the full HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code that can be opened in a modern web browser to run the 3D running man game.
– Ensure the code is well-commented to explain key components.
**Example:**
“`html
3D Running Man Game
/* Basic styles */
// JavaScript code to create the scene, character, obstacles, controls, and game loop
“`
**Notes:**
– Keep the 3D model simple to focus on game mechanics rather than complex modeling.
– Use placeholder geometry like boxes or cylinders if needed.
– The game should run smoothly on common desktop browsers.
