How to play

• Click the game to capture the mouse. Moving it turns the camera and the hero together.
• W and S move forward and back, A and D step sideways, a left click or J strikes, and Space dashes.
• E uses a shrine, Esc pauses, and 1–3 choose a blessing. Needs a keyboard, a mouse and WebGL 2; about 40 MB downloads the first time.

What I built

• Procedural rooms, lighting, combat particles and synthesized sound effects, all generated at runtime from a seed.
• A third-person chase camera with mouse look and controls relative to the hero; it pulls in when a wall would block the view.
• Characters animated in code: each model's parts are grouped under joint pivots at spawn, then posed every frame for walk cycles, a streaming cloak, sword slashes, claw lunges and overhead slams. Enemy attacks wind up before they land, so they can be dodged.
• Low-poly characters and props built by a Python script in Blender, so every asset is reproducible from source.
• An agent bridge: an AI model can observe and play the game over TCP, which doubles as an automated test harness.
• A web export pipeline: single-threaded WebAssembly with its start-up script moved out of the page so it runs under a strict Content-Security-Policy.

A bug the web build caught

Testing the browser build showed the start button never responded: an empty overlay layer was invisible but still took every click, on desktop too. The smoke test called the start function directly, so it had missed it. One line fixed it. A second pass caught every character facing backwards: the models face glTF's +Z forward while the code assumed Godot's −Z. The video above is rendered frame by frame with Godot's movie writer, driving the hero through the same agent interface an AI model uses.
