This app is a 3D galaxy viewer that allows users to explore a simulated galaxy in a visually engaging manner. It utilizes React and Three.js to render a dynamic galaxy with customizable parameters, providing an interactive experience for users interested in astronomy or 3D graphics. To use the app, users can manipulate various settings through a user-friendly control panel. The parameters include the number of stars, their size, the radius of the galaxy, the number of spiral branches, the spin intensity, randomness, and color options for the core and edge of the galaxy. Users can adjust these settings using sliders and color pickers, and they can reset to default values at any time. The galaxy is rendered in real-time, allowing users to see the effects of their adjustments immediately. The app is built using several technologies, including TypeScript, React, and the React Three Fiber library, which integrates Three.js into React applications. It also employs Radix UI components for sliders and labels, enhancing the user interface. The app features a loading screen that appears while the galaxy is being generated, ensuring a smooth user experience. Key features of the app include: - A customizable galaxy with adjustable parameters for an interactive experience. - Real-time rendering of the galaxy using Three.js, providing a visually rich environment. - User controls for rotating, zooming, and panning the view of the galaxy. - A loading screen that informs users while the galaxy is being generated. - An intuitive interface with sliders and color pickers for easy parameter adjustments. Overall, this app serves as an educational and entertaining tool for visualizing galaxies and understanding their structures.
