🪐 SPACE ONLINE 🌠

---

🌌 Overview

Space Online is a modular, 3D-first web experience where we simulate interactive cosmic objects — black holes, nebulas, and whatever else space throws at us.

Originally a black hole sim, this project is growing into a web-based cosmic universe, with real-time effects, spatial animations, and wild visual storytelling.

## 👥 Contributing
We 💜 open-source collabs. Just follow some cosmic rules:

### ✅ Do
Fork → Feature branch → PR

Run npm run lint before pushing

Keep PRs atomic and descriptive

Stick to the vibe: performance + visuals = 🔥

### ❌ Don't
No direct main commits

Don’t push broken features

Don’t go rogue with new dependencies

## 🚀 What are we planning Next(Fetures)?
Here are some ideas you can build:

### 🎯 Beginner Level

- 📸 Add camera orbit + zoom controls

- 📱 Improve mobile responsiveness

- 🌈 Animate background gradient transitions

- 🌌 Add starfield with particles

- 🔭 Create multiple black hole styles (Kerr, Schwarzschild, etc.)

### ⚙️ Intermediate Level
- 🎧 Audio-reactive visuals with Web Audio API

- 🌠 Shooting stars / comet trails using shaders

- 🎛 Add GUI controls for FX ( via leva or dat.gui )

- 🌙 Add light/dark mode switch for UI elements

- 🪐 Modularize components with better state separation

### 🧠 Advanced / Galaxy Brain
- 🔮 Use shaders ( GLSL ) for trippy distortion FX

- 🛰 Connect with a NASA or SpaceX API for real-time data

- 🧲 Add physics-based object interaction ( using cannon-es )

- 🚀 Build a level-based space exploration game mode

- 🧬 WebXR integration: make it VR-compatible 👀

- 🕳 Add a black hole lensing effect ( gravitational distortion )

Also we can have the Navigation on the top and have the sperate
