Neon Drift — A high-octane 3D endless cyber-runner with dynamic Central Styling for start.ng.

Neon Drift is an endless 3D web runner designed specifically for the start.ng application ecosystem.

Powered by Three.js and Vite. Zero external 3D asset dependencies. Pure procedural geometry with central platform styling.

Neon Drift adheres strictly to the start.ng 4-tier style resolution pipeline:.

The project features 40 comprehensive unit tests covering all components:.
