Planet Wun: The Ridge

The Ridge puts LLM reasoning directly inside a live 3D environment instead of behind a chat window. Built in Three.js, it's a runner-vs-chaser tag match between a human and an AI opponent, who swap roles at halftime. Players dodge projectiles, drop traps, and grab power-ups while racing against the clock. The core of the project is the Sentient AI Director: an LLM (via the Fireworks API) that observes match state — scores, positions, idle time, momentum — every tick, and reasons about how to keep the match dynamic. Its decisions aren't scripted triggers; they're generated judgments that materialize directly as changes in the 3D scene: obstacles appearing, difficulty shifting, in-world "mainframe" messages announcing its intent. The result is a game where you can watch an AI's reasoning play out spatially — not as text output, but as a living, reactive 3D world responding to a model thinking in real time.
