🗺️ TerraQuest - Interactive 3D Terraform Learning Platform

Next.js TypeScript React Three Fiber Tailwind CSS

Transform Terraform education into an immersive 3D journey through infrastructure-as-code mastery.

An interactive learning platform that renders a beautiful 3D map where each Terraform concept becomes a clickable geographical region—from Foundation Island 🌍 to Workflow Summit 🚀.


🎯 Project Overview

TerraQuest revolutionizes technical education by transforming static documentation into a 3D DevOps atlas. Navigate through 9 interconnected learning regions, each representing a core Terraform module, with smooth camera animations, real-time progress tracking, and gamified achievements.

✨ Key Features

  • 🌍 Interactive 3D Map - Explore 9 distinct geographical regions with React Three Fiber
  • 🎬 Cinematic Navigation - GSAP-powered camera animations for smooth transitions
  • 💾 Progress Persistence - Zustand + LocalStorage for automatic save/resume
  • 🎨 Glassmorphism UI - Modern semi-transparent overlays with backdrop blur
  • 🏆 Achievement System - Unlock badges as you master concepts
  • Fully Accessible - WCAG 2.1 AA compliant with keyboard navigation
  • 📱 Responsive Design - Optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile
  • 60fps Performance - Optimized rendering with instanced meshes
