This replays it in 3D on the actual terrain of Hong Kong : real elevation, real satellite imagery, projected to scale. A camera directs itself through the campaign, across historically-sourced troop movements, the real 1941 flags , bilingual narration, weather, and a day/night cycle. Every frame is the live engine. Nothing is mocked up. No build step, no backend, no API keys: one folder of static files that runs in any browser. The part worth sharing: it was built with an AI coding agent (Claude Code) from a single written brief , then directed and fact-checked by hand. The brief ships right here in the repo: PROMPT.md . Read it, then watch what it produced. Highlights - 🗺️ Real Hong Kong, to scale. Actual SRTM elevation and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, projected by real lng/lat. Not a stylised map. - 🎬 It directs itself. A cinematic \"Director\" plays the eighteen days as a sequence of shots; grab the camera any time to free-look, and it resumes. - ⚔️ Historically sourced. Dated troop movements, front lines, commanders, major events, and the real December 1941 flags (the green-leaf Canadian e","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/keithligh","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/keithligh/battle-of-hong-kong-1941/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
