• GitHub account
• Git installed locally

Step 1: Push to GitHub

cd /Users/alexa/blackroad-metaverse

# Initialize git (if not already done)
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit - BlackRoad Metaverse"

# Create GitHub repo and push
# Replace with your GitHub username
git remote add origin https://github.com/blackboxprogramming/blackroad-metaverse.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

Step 2: Deploy to Cloudflare Pages

1. Go to Cloudflare Dashboard

   • Navigate to https://dash.cloudflare.com/
   • Select "Pages" from the left sidebar

2. Connect to Git

   • Click "Create a project"

   • Authorize Cloudflare to access your GitHub
   • Select the blackroad-metaverse repository

3. Configure Build Settings

   • Project name: blackroad-metaverse
   • Production branch: main
   • Build command: Leave empty (no build needed)
   • Build output directory: /
   • Root directory: /

4. Deploy

🌐 URLs

After deployment, the metaverse will be accessible at:

• Primary: https://blackroad-metaverse.pages.dev
• Custom Domain: https://metaverse.blackroad.io (if configured)

🎯 Performance

• Initial Load: < 2 seconds (on fast connection)
• FPS: 60 FPS (on modern hardware)
• Memory: ~200MB (varies with chunk loading)
• Mobile: Supported but optimized for desktop

🔒 Security

• All code runs client-side (no backend)
• No database or server-side processing
• No authentication required (can be added)
• Safe to deploy on public URL

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue: Blank screen after deployment

Solution: Check browser console for errors. Ensure Three.js CDN is accessible.

Issue: Controls not working

Solution: Click on the canvas to enable pointer lock for mouse controls.

Issue: Low FPS

Solution:

• Check graphics settings in game
• Reduce render distance
• Disable post-processing effects
• Use Chrome/Edge for better WebGL performance

Issue: Music not playing

Solution: Some browsers block autoplay. User interaction (clicking) may be required to start audio.
