A typing game where every keystroke propels you through a space.
It is written in Typescript/React/CSS.

Warning: this game contains flashing lights.

Start the game by typing but make sure the window is focused.
It is desktop only and supports fullscreen.

What I learned:

• Projecting 3D coordinates to 2D to create depth and movement
• CSS transformations: perspective(), rotateX(), scaleY()
• Creating a gameplay with speed, shake, color shifts tied to input
• Escalating effects to create tension
• Responsive layout, media queries on both width and height
• Automating deployment of a Vite/React app with GitHub Actions

This was done mostly with Claude.
The goal was to play with modern CSS and automated workfklows.
Code is here.
