Mission Briefing

⏱️ Before You Watch (5 mins)

Today's Secret: The exact same technology used in web games, metaverse projects, and even parts of Fortnite is free for you to use. It's called Three.js.

What you should have ready:

Your themed Snake Game
An open mind (3D can feel intimidating, but AI makes it easy!)

🧠 Quick Concepts

Term	Simple Meaning
Three.js	A library that lets websites show 3D objects
X, Y, Z	The 3 dimensions (Left/Right, Up/Down, Forward/Back)
Mesh	The shape of a 3D object (skeleton + skin)
Render	Drawing the 3D scene onto your 2D screen

🤔 Think About

Before watching, consider:

How does a computer know how to draw a 3D cube on a flat screen?
What if your Snake game wasn't flat, but had depth?

🎯 By the End

After this episode, you'll:

✅ Understand the 3D coordinate system
✅ Know what a Scene, Camera, and Renderer are
✅ Have a working 3D Snake Game!

Welcome to the third dimension! 🧊

📝 What We Learned

3D is accessible: You don't need a supercomputer or expensive software.
Three.js is the magic library that powers 3D on the web.
The Core Recipe: To make 3D, you need 3 things:
1. Scene (The world)
2. Camera (The eye)
3. Renderer (The painter)
AI makes it easy: You didn't need to do the complex math; the AI did it for you.

🔗 Key Code Snippets

// Every 3D scene starts here
const scene = new THREE.Scene();
const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, w/h, 0.1, 1000);
const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
