In this project, we aim to establish an interactive universe made possible by using the P5 3D geometry and 3D lighting. When you are hovering around in this universe, the stars and planets will move according to your mouse position. When you lower the mouse position, the screen will be zoomed out and when you higher the mouse, the screen will zoom in more. When the mouse is pressed, new “stars” which look like the colorful spheres composed of smaller spheres with galaxy-like explosion will happen randomly on the screen and would expand further until they can be seen no more. However, once you click on the screen, you will be able to see them again. The small spheres are glowing on the background to have an interstellar appearance. The center spindle-like sphere and an “Earth” like sphere are created to give us a general understanding of what perspective we are looking at the canvas.
