3d-games

3d-games is a skill for Claude Code from bcastelino/agent-skills-kit. It costs 18 tokens per session (637 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of 3d-games, MIT.

A guide to building three-dimensional games, covering how scenes are drawn, how visual effects use shaders, how objects collide, and how cameras work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning rendering pipelines, custom effects such as water or fire, collision systems, or game cameras.
Why use it?
It gives developers core principles for making 3D scenes render efficiently and behave correctly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

3d-games scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

3D Game Development

Principles for 3D game systems.


1. Rendering Pipeline

Stages

1. Vertex Processing → Transform geometry
2. Rasterization → Convert to pixels
3. Fragment Processing → Color pixels
4. Output → To screen

Optimization Principles

Technique Purpose
Frustum culling Don't render off-screen
Occlusion culling Don't render hidden
LOD Less detail at distance
Batching Combine draw calls

2. Shader Principles

Shader Types

Type Purpose
Vertex Position, normals
Fragment/Pixel Color, lighting
Compute General computation

When to Write Custom Shaders

  • Special effects (water, fire, portals)
  • Stylized rendering (toon, sketch)
  • Performance optimization
  • Unique visual identity

3. 3D Physics

Collision Shapes

Shape Use Case
Box Buildings, crates
Sphere Balls, quick checks
Capsule Characters
Mesh Terrain (expensive)

Principles

  • Simple colliders, complex visuals
  • Layer-based filtering
  • Raycasting for line-of-sight

4. Camera Systems

Camera Types

Type Use
Third-person Action, adventure
First-person Immersive, FPS
Isometric Strategy, RPG
Orbital Inspection, editors

Camera Feel

  • Smooth following (lerp)
  • Collision avoidance
  • Look-ahead for movement
  • FOV changes for speed

5. Lighting

Light Types

Type Use
Directional Sun, moon
Point Lamps, torches
Spot Flashlight, stage
Ambient Base illumination

Performance Consideration

  • Real-time shadows are expensive
  • Bake when possible
  • Shadow cascades for large worlds

6. Level of Detail (LOD)

LOD Strategy

Distance Model
Near Full detail
Medium 50% triangles
Far 25% or billboard

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
