3D Game Programming for Kids, 2nd Edition

Outline the Game

In addition to lights, this game will have a ball, a game board, and a goal. Let’s start with the following code outline, including the double slashes:

//var lights = addLights();
//var ball = addBall();
//var board = addBoard();
//var goal = addGoal();

Just as we did in Chapter 14, ​Project: The Purple Fruit Monster Game​, we’ll uncomment these function calls as we define the functions.

Add Lights

Before doing anything else, let’s add some lights to the scene.

Below the commented-out code outline, add the following function definition of addLights:

function addLights() {
  var lights = new THREE.Object3D();

  var light1 = new THREE.PointLight('white', 0.4);
  light1.position.set(50, 50, -100);
