Hey PH! I'm the maker of WikiCapsule. The idea came from combining two things I love: gacha games and random Wikipedia rabbit holes. What if every capsule pull was a real-world discovery? The tech is interesting too — the entire game runs client-side in the browser. The 3D machine is a real model rendered with React Three Fiber, sounds are synthesized with Web Audio API (no audio files), and there are 404 tests covering every game system. I'd love your feedback on the pull experience — does the reveal feel satisfying? Is the collection loop compelling?
