Tap a second time to select a component.
Tap a third time to see the next question.
Tap the spin button at any time to spin the plane or start the selection process over again.

Answer 10 questions correctly for a score of 100 points. Each correct answer equals 10 points. Components display on the biplane by color. Questions ask players to select parts of the plane by name. Find each component based on it's shape and location on the plane.

Swipe to spin the plane. Tap the plane three times for each question.

Before playing, see the Cheat Sheet biplane components with names and callouts. The Spin, Zoom In, and Zoom Out icons display below the biplane. The current question also displays below the plane. The question number with the name of the part players currently seek, appears between the plane and the Spin button.

Tap the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons for better viewing and precise selection. Center very small parts in the viewport, tap to stop spinning, then zoom in. The Spin button allows players to begin the component selection process again.

Alternate Between Stop and Spin

Select the Spin button below the plane at any time. The Spin button allows the plane to rotate when you swipe. Toggle between stop and spin modes. Tap the plane the first time to stop spinning. Tap the Spin button to start rotating the plane again. Spin restarts your ability to find and select a part of the plane. If you're not happy with the current rotation of the plane, then Spin again.

Windows Phone Selection

Windows Phone responds to touch up events as if the player tapped. For those playing with Windows Phone, swipe then lift your finger to stop the plane from spinning. The game then waits for the selection of a part. The ping sound and text lets players know they triggered the selection process.

Create 3D Games

Book Two in the Series, Learn WebGL

The e-book, Create 3D Games, teaches how to make two similar 3D games, with WebGL.

The first game, 3D Globe Game, demonstrates a range of concepts useful for Web developers. Concepts include efficiency, responsive Web design, and optimization. Learn to create the Globe Game where players answer twenty questions to find countries on the globe.

The 3D Biplane Game, displays a biplane aircraft. Find parts on the airplane. The Biplane Game reuses and reinforces concepts explained with the Globe Game. The Biplane Game also demonstrates how to use the book's software to make your own games.

The book's games run on mobile devices and desktops. Devices such as cell phones, mobile phones including Androids, iPhones, and Windows Phones, benefit from optimization techniques discussed in the book. Optimization techniques allow games to download and run quickly.
