A.D.A.M - Advanced Drone Asteroid Miner
A browser-based 3D space drone mining game built for COMP308 as a collaborative full-stack project. Players pilot the A.D.A.M drone to mine asteroids, manage fuel and cargo, upgrade systems, and return to base before their hull fails. The client renders real-time 3D gameplay with Babylon.js on top of React, while the backend uses Apollo GraphQL (queries, mutations, and WebSocket subscriptions) over Express and MongoDB to persist player profiles, achievements, upgrades, challenges, and a live leaderboard. An AI copilot powered by Google Gemini delivers in-mission tips and free-form chat grounded in the player's live game state. Auth uses JWT cookies with register/login/logout flows.
Key Features
- Real-time 3D gameplay with an ECS-style system pipeline (movement, mining, collisions, thrusters, camera, lighting) rendered via Babylon.js
- Full GraphQL API with Apollo Server 5 — queries, mutations, and WebSocket subscriptions for a live leaderboard and mission feed
- Persistent player profiles on MongoDB: levels, XP, credits, reputation, achievements, upgrade tiers, and cosmetic skins
- AI copilot (Google Gemini) that generates contextual tips on docking, level-ups, and achievements, plus free-form chat scoped to the player's state
- Challenge contracts, upgrade economy (fuel / hull / mining laser / thruster / inventory), and ranked scoring
- JWT cookie auth with protected routes on both the React router and GraphQL context
