Step inside The Farmstand 3D — an immersive, WebXR-powered virtual marketplace where cannabis vendors showcase products in a 3D environment you can explore from any browser.

This repo is the marketplace. index.html here is the exact file serving at the link above — currently build v27.

A complete outdoor convention — vendor booths, a scavenger hunt, a guided tour, a blimp — running entirely in the browser. No app, no headset, no build step, no framework churn. One HTML file, A-Frame, and vanilla JavaScript.

• 🏕️ An open-air festival grounds — procedurally built booths, pennant bunting, flag poles, trees, rolling hills, drifting balloons, and a blimp towing a banner
• 🏪 12 real vendor booths — click any booth for vendor info and a link to their actual shop or Instagram
• 🖼️ Real vendor branding — each booth carries that vendor's logo board and wall art, with per-vendor roof styles (pitched, ridged, flat, canopy, burlap awning) so no two stalls look alike
• 🏺 Golden Jar scavenger hunt — five jars hidden around the grounds; find them all to unlock a discount code (confetti and chiptune chime included)
• 🚶 Walks everywhere — WASD + mouse on desktop, a virtual joystick on phones, click-the-ground teleport, a guided tour mode, and a booth directory with fly-to
• 📐 Fits any screen — the whole scene rescales on resize, orientation change, and load, so phones and ultrawides both get the full grounds
• 🥽 WebXR ready — works in VR headsets (Quest, etc.) as well as flat-screen browsers
• 🔄 Self-updating — a dormant tab checks version.txt on wake and reloads itself once if the server shipped a newer build

This project shipped with a walking joystick that never worked on iPhones — until two real bugs were found, and both are the kind that waste weeks:

1. The player had no camera.

<!-- broken: A-Frame silently injects a separate default camera -->
<a-entity id="player" wasd-controls look-controls></a-entity>

<!-- fixed: the player IS the camera -->
<a-entity id="player" camera wasd-controls look-controls></a-entity>

Without camera on the rig, A-Frame auto-creates an invisible default camera elsewhere. Desktop WASD "worked" (it moved the auto-camera), the joystick "worked" (it moved the player — which nothing was looking through). Every test passed except the only one that matters: the user's eyes.

2. iOS steals touch gestures. A joystick built on touchstart/touchmove dies on iOS WebKit when the browser decides your drag is a scroll: it fires pointercancel and takes over. The fix is three layers:

• touch-action: none on every element of the joystick (not just the container — the icon your finger lands on counts)
• Pointer Events with setPointerCapture as the primary path
• A touch-event fallback that survives pointercancel

Bonus lesson: movement must be time-based (units/second × dt), never per-frame — at phone frame rates, per-frame movement is imperceptible and looks exactly like "broken."

It's one HTML file plus the vendor art it hangs on the booths (board_*.jpg, blimp_banner.jpg) and a one-line version.txt the self-update check reads. Serve the folder any way you like:

git clone https://github.com/nicedreamzapp/the-farmstand-3d.git
cd the-farmstand-3d
python3 -m http.server 8000
# open http://localhost:8000

For VR, serve over HTTPS — WebXR requires it. Drop the images and it still runs; the booths just lose their logo boards.

Customize the vendors array near the top of the script for your own booths, links, and colors. Everything — ground, tent poles, booths, people, decorations — is built by small build*() functions you can edit live.
