From 98c5e0da2411ee1001a8fed5fd5c020f062846db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Whitestone Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:34:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: add personal journal wall panel in the Nexus (#209) - Add journal.json with 10 of Alexander's journal entries (date + text) - Build a 3D parchment-style wall panel in a quiet rear-left corner of the Nexus using a canvas-generated aged parchment texture - Handwritten-style italic serif text rendered on warm cream/tan canvas with grain lines, double border, and edge vignette for aged look - Scrollable via mouse wheel when hovering the panel (3 entries visible, scroll indicators shown, page counter in corner) - Warm candle-light point lights illuminate the reading nook - Frame edges rendered with LineSegments for subtle 3D depth Fixes #209 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- app.js | 239 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ journal.json | 42 +++++++++ 2 files changed, 281 insertions(+) create mode 100644 journal.json diff --git a/app.js b/app.js index 485320f..d4574e0 100644 --- a/app.js +++ b/app.js @@ -408,6 +408,17 @@ function animate() { banner.position.y = ud.baseY + Math.sin(elapsed * ud.floatSpeed + ud.floatPhase) * 0.4; }); + // Check journal hover for cursor and scroll interaction + if (journalMesh) { + journalRaycaster.setFromCamera(journalPointer, camera); + const hits = journalRaycaster.intersectObject(journalMesh); + const wasHovered = journalHovered; + journalHovered = hits.length > 0; + if (journalHovered !== wasHovered) { + document.body.style.cursor = journalHovered ?
