Rotating Cube with Dynamic Backgrounds

Project Overview

This project is a visually engaging React application featuring a 3D rotating cube floating in dynamic and immersive environments. By clicking a floating button, users can cycle through various atmospheric and natural backgrounds, creating an interactive and visually stimulating experience.

Key Features

• 3D Rotating Cube: A cube rendered in 3D using CSS transform-style: preserve-3d.
• Dynamic Backgrounds: 12 unique backgrounds including space, natural scenes, and abstract environments.
• Floating Action Button: A button that changes the background with a smooth transition.
• Responsive Design: Works seamlessly across devices.

React Concepts Used

1. Functional Components: The app is built using functional components (App, RotatingCube, and FloatingButton).
2. State Management: Background changes are managed using React's useState.
3. Event Handling: Button click triggers background change logic.
4. Effect Hook: Used in RotatingCube to handle the cube’s animation lifecycle.
5. Modularity: Components are well-separated for clarity and reusability.

How to Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repo-url>
   cd <your-repo-folder>
   npm install
   npm run dev
   npm run build

Key Benefits

Scalability

• Easily extendable to include new background or interactive elements (e.g.,sound effects, UI components).

Modularity

• Each component (Cube, Button) is self-contained and reusable.

Reusability

• The FloatingButton component can be used across multiple projects without modification.

How it works

Prop Passing: The App.jsx component defines the changeAtmosphere function and passes it as a prop to the RotatingCube component.

User Interaction: When the user clicks on the cube (the main element in RotatingCube), the onClick event is triggered.

Function Call: The onClick event handler calls the changeAtmosphere function passed from App.jsx.

Random Atmosphere Selection:

The changeAtmosphere function defines a list of atmosphere names in an array called atmospheres. A random atmosphere is selected using this formula:

atmospheres[Math.floor(Math.random() * atmospheres.length)];

State Update: The selected atmosphere is set as the new state of background using setBackground(randomAtmosphere).

Dynamic Styling: The background state is used as a class name for the root

in the App component (<div className={app ${background}}>), changing the background dynamically to match the selected atmosphere.

This ensures a seamless interaction where clicking the cube triggers the background to change randomly to one of the predefined options.

PropTypes:

• to ensure the changAtmosphere prop is passed correctly and is of the expected type.

Key Changes

• 1. Importing PropTypes: Added import PropTypes from "prop-types";.
• 2. Defining PropTypes:
  • The changAtmosphere prop is defined as a required function using.
  • PropTypes.func.isRequired.

Why Use PropTypes?

• It helps catch bugs by validating props passed to the component.
• Ensures your code is easier to maintain and debug in the future.

Future Ideas

work in progress!

• Sound Effects: Add atmospheric sounds corresponding to each - background.
• Cube Glow: Introduce glowing effects on the cube for added aesthetics.
• Themes: Let users customize and save their favorite atmosphere combinations.
• Performance Optimization: Use React.memo or lazy loading for assets to improve performance.

Conclusion

• This project is a fun way to explore React concepts and CSS - animations while building an interactive 3D application. It can serve as a foundation for further development into a game, visualization tool, or educational app.
