Roundcraft is a small open-source mini game written in JavaScript using Three.js. It was created by parents and children as a shared coding project, and the main goal is to give families a real, working game they can explore and change together. This is not aimed at being a polished commercial game, it is a first playable world designed to make learning to code feel hands-on and fun. In the game, you explore a small round adventure world. You can move around, jump, look in different directions, and interact with the environment using two tools: a Pickaxe and a Bow, which you can switch between. The Pickaxe lets you mine lava crystals, dig tunnels through the volcano, and destroy the wooden house to collect wood. The Bow lets you shoot arrows at the Round Dragon, the game's main enemy, which fires back with fireballs, and only dragon fire can hurt you. Sheep walk on the grass, and hitting them with either tool lets you collect sheep meat, which you can eat. After defeating the dragon, you gain the ability to fly. The project is intentionally small and easy to change. Each part of the game lives in its own file: the main game loop, sheep behavior, tools, audio, and screen styling. This structure makes it straightforward for a child or beginner to open one file, read what it does, and try modifying it. To run it locally, you start a simple server and open it in a web browser, with no complex setup required.
