Ares - 3d Infinite Runner Game

ARES — 3D WebGL Rover Exploration Game

ARES is a modular, real-time 3D rover navigation experience built entirely in JavaScript using p5.js (WEBGL). The game simulates planetary exploration where the player pilots a rover across dynamically scrolling terrain while avoiding procedurally spawned obstacles.

Core Gameplay:
Players control a rover navigating an endless terrain:
⬆ Move forward into unknown terrain
⬅➡ Maneuver laterally to avoid obstacles
🪨 Dodge dynamically generated hazards
📈 Increase score the longer you survive
The terrain scrolls seamlessly to create the illusion of continuous forward motion, while a chase camera dynamically tracks the rover’s movement.

Technical Highlights
🔹 Built with:
p5.js (WEBGL renderer)
JavaScript ES6 (Object-Oriented Architecture)
3D model loading via .obj files
Real-time texture mapping
Dynamic camera control

Just redesigned the terrain needed for the game and completed the game.
The game is complete and deployable now, and I just be making a few more changes.

Just made the html file ready so, it can be locally tested on browser.
Also additionally loaded all other assets.

Just completed defining camera movements and giving rover definition so it can detect obstacles and process accordingly. The camera is set to move forward.

Just design and implemented the dashboard screen onto the game. Further I’m planning to design the terrain 3d model and include it into the game.

I’ve now additionally added the text on the main screen which says ARES and then show information about the game. I’ve installed custom fonts as assets, loaded them in setup and used them. The text is directly written on the 3d Space. Check it out.
Also, suggest if there is a better way to do it.

I have re-programmed sketch.js to match the new idea and to make improvements from the previous version. This ensures more efficient running and better logic than the old code.
Do give me suggestions on how to improve this.
Next I’m planning to create display text, and design dashboard. And then move on to creating terrains.

Just created the obstacle class and defined its attributes. I’m planning to load a 3d model of a barricade like obstacle that gets spawned over the terrain. I also designed a texture for the same, whose image I have uploaded. Once the texture gets applied to the 3d model, it’ll look perfect.

I’ve created an object oriented definition to the rover object, ie created a constructor for it and defined it completely.
Additionally I’ve also added conditions to check collision of the rover with simple ifs.
Now the rover template is ready and I’m preparing to proceed to build the blueprint of the obstacles.
I’ve also designed the rover and converted it to an image loop(gif) to process it.

Just created all the initial variables and imported all assets into the sketch.js.
Also initialized the canvas and setup the canvas and function draw, so the Ui is visible on the browser.
Additionally added an if condition to monitor rover controls and wrapped up V1 of the sketch.js and Ares.
