Implemented a full Three.js meteor shower effect:

  • MeteorShower class with random 2–5 minute scheduling
  • Each shower spawns 15–40 staggered meteors as THREE.Line streak segments with fade-out
  • Starfield background (3000 stars) with ambient rotation
  • Import map for Three.js 0.183 in index.html; CSS reset in style.css
  • window.triggerMeteorShower() available in dev console for testing
  • JS syntax validated with node --check; file size 5.8 KB (well under 500 KB budget)

Added a meteor shower system to app.js:

  • Showers trigger automatically, first one 15–30s after load, then every 2–5 minutes
  • Each shower spawns 8–17 cyan-white meteors with staggered delays (~0.2–0.5s apart)
  • Meteors travel as THREE.Line streaks (tail + head) in a consistent shower direction with slight per-meteor variation
  • Fade out over the last 35% of their lifetime; geometry/material disposed on completion
  • No new files required; all changes in app.js (125 lines added)
