How can I make my Three.js chess app responsive using React?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I built a chess app with Three.js and React, but my Chessboard.tsx component isn’t responsive on different devices.

I followed several guides to fix responsiveness, but nothing worked. I’d appreciate any advice on how to make the Three.js scene adapt to various screen sizes and handle window resizing properly.

Below is my code (Chessboard.tsx):

TYPESCRIPT
import React, { useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react"; import * as THREE from "three"; import { GLTFLoader } from "three/examples/jsm/loaders/GLTFLoader.js"; import { OrbitControls } from "three/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls.js"; import { RGBELoader } from "three/examples/jsm/loaders/RGBELoader.js"; import Button from "@/components/landing-page/button"; const Chessboard: React.FC = () => { const mountRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement | null>(null); const [lastPosition, setLastPosition] = useState(5); const [showButton, setShowButton] = useState(false); const cameraPositions = useRef<{ position: THREE.Vector3; lookAt: THREE.Vector3 }[]>([ { position: new THREE.Vector3(0, 8, 15), // Widok z przodu lookAt: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0), }, { position: new THREE.Vector3(0, 10, 0), // Widok z góry lookAt: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0), }, { position: new THREE.Vector3(0, 8, 10), // Powrót do widoku z przodu lookAt: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0), }, { position: new THREE.Vector3(-8, 3, 0), // Widok z boku lookAt: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0), }, { position: new THREE.Vector3(-2, 3, 0), // Przybliżenie do szachownicy lookAt: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0), }, { position: new THREE.Vector3(-8, 3, 0), // Widok oddalony lookAt: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0), }, ]); const currentPositionIndex = useRef(0); const transitioning = useRef(false); const startTransitionTime = useRef<number | null>(null); const animationDuration = 3000; // 3 sekundy const startPosition = useRef(new THREE.Vector3()); const targetPosition = useRef(new THREE.Vector3()); const startRotation = useRef(0); // Startowa rotacja szachownicy const targetRotation = useRef(0); // Docelowa rotacja szachownicy const chessModel = useRef<THREE.Group | null>(null); // Referencja do modelu szachownicy const renderButton = () => { if(showButton) { return ( <Button /> ); } } useEffect(() => { if (!mountRef.current) return; const scene = new THREE.Scene(); const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 50, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000 ); // Ustaw początkową pozycję kamery if (cameraPositions.current[0]) { camera.position.copy(cameraPositions.current[0].position); camera.lookAt(cameraPositions.current[0].lookAt); } const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true }); renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight); renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true; mountRef.current.appendChild(renderer.domElement); const textureLoader = new RGBELoader(); textureLoader.load("/backgrounds/finalBackground.hdr", (texture: THREE.Texture) => { texture.mapping = THREE.EquirectangularReflectionMapping; const backgroundGeometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(500, 32, 32); const backgroundMaterial = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ map: texture, side: THREE.BackSide }); const backgroundMesh = new THREE.Mesh(backgroundGeometry, backgroundMaterial); scene.add(backgroundMesh); scene.environment = texture; }); const controls = new OrbitControls(camera, renderer.domElement); controls.enableDamping = true; controls.dampingFactor = 0.05; controls.enableRotate = false; controls.enablePan = false; controls.enableZoom = false; const ambientLight = new THREE.AmbientLight(0x808080, 0.7); // Jaśniejsze światło otoczenia scene.add(ambientLight); // Wyraźniejsze światło punktowe skierowane na szachownicę const pointLight = new THREE.PointLight(0xffffff, 2.0, 150); // Jeszcze mocniejsze światło punktowe pointLight.position.set(0, 20, 10); // Wyższe ustawienie nad szachownicą pointLight.castShadow = true; pointLight.shadow.mapSize.width = 2048; // Wyższa rozdzielczość cieni pointLight.shadow.mapSize.height = 2048; scene.add(pointLight); // Jaśniejsze światło kierunkowe dla głębi const directionalLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 1.0); // Jeszcze bardziej widoczne directionalLight.position.set(10, 20, 15); // Wyżej i bardziej z boku dla lepszej głębi directionalLight.castShadow = true; directionalLight.shadow.mapSize.width = 2048; // Szczegółowe cienie directionalLight.shadow.mapSize.height = 2048; scene.add(directionalLight); const loader = new GLTFLoader(); loader.load( "/models/chess_set_1k.glb", (gltf) => { const model = gltf.scene; model.scale.set(11, 11, 11); model.traverse((node) => { if ((node as THREE.Mesh).isMesh) { const mesh = node as THREE.Mesh; mesh.castShadow = true; mesh.receiveShadow = true; } }); chessModel.current = model; // Zachowaj referencję do szachownicy scene.add(model); }, undefined, (error) => { console.error("Błąd ładowania modelu:", error); } ); const handleScroll = (event: WheelEvent) => { if(currentPositionIndex.current === lastPosition) { setShowButton(true); }else{ if (transitioning.current || !cameraPositions.current.length) return; const direction = event.deltaY > 0 ? 1 : -1; const newIndex = (currentPositionIndex.current + direction + cameraPositions.current.length) % cameraPositions.current.length; const newPosition = cameraPositions.current[newIndex]; if (!newPosition) return; // Ustawienia pozycji kamery startPosition.current.copy(camera.position); targetPosition.current.copy(newPosition.position); // Ustawienia rotacji szachownicy startRotation.current = chessModel.current?.rotation.y || 0; if (newIndex === 3) { // Obrót szachownicy o 90 stopni dla widoku z boku (4) targetRotation.current = startRotation.current + Math.PI / 2; } else if (newIndex === 2) { // Cofnij obrót do pierwotnej rotacji targetRotation.current = 0; } else { targetRotation.current = startRotation.current; // Nie obracaj w innych przypadkach } currentPositionIndex.current = newIndex; transitioning.current = true; startTransitionTime.current = performance.now(); if (newIndex === lastPosition) { setShowButton(true); } } }; window.addEventListener("wheel", handleScroll); const animate = () => { requestAnimationFrame(animate); if (transitioning.current && startTransitionTime.current !== null) { const elapsedTime = performance.now() - startTransitionTime.current; const progress = Math.min(elapsedTime / animationDuration, 1); // Ogranicz progress do 0-1 // Interpolacja pozycji kamery camera.position.lerpVectors( startPosition.current, targetPosition.current, progress ); // Rotacja szachownicy if (chessModel.current) { chessModel.current.rotation.y = startRotation.current + (targetRotation.current - startRotation.current) * progress; } // Ustaw `lookAt` kamery const currentLookAt = cameraPositions.current[currentPositionIndex.current]?.lookAt; if (currentLookAt) camera.lookAt(currentLookAt); if (progress === 1) { transitioning.current = false; // Zakończ animację startTransitionTime.current = null; } } controls.update(); renderer.render(scene, camera); }; animate(); return () => { window.removeEventListener("wheel", handleScroll); mountRef.current?.removeChild(renderer.domElement); }; }, []); return ( &lt;&gt; &lt;div ref={mountRef} style={{ zIndex: -1, width: "100vw", height: "100vh", margin: 0, padding: 0, overflow: "hidden", }} /&gt; {renderButton()} &lt;/&gt; ); }; export default Chessboard;

Making Your Three.js Chess App Responsive

The main issue with your current implementation is that you're not handling window resize events, which is crucial for making Three.js applications responsive across different devices. Here's how to fix the responsiveness issues in your Chessboard component:

1. Add Window Resize Event Handler

You need to update the renderer size and camera aspect ratio whenever the window size changes:

TYPESCRIPT
useEffect(() => { if (!mountRef.current) return; // Your existing setup code... // Add this resize handler const handleResize = () => { if (!mountRef.current) return; // Update camera camera.aspect = window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight; camera.updateProjectionMatrix(); // Update renderer renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight); }; // Add event listener window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize); // Rest of your code... return () => { window.removeEventListener('wheel', handleScroll); window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize); // Remove event listener on cleanup mountRef.current?.removeChild(renderer.domElement); }; }, []);

2. Use Container Dimensions Instead of Window Dimensions

For better control, especially in a React app where your Three.js scene might not take up the entire window, use the container's dimensions:

TYPESCRIPT
useEffect(() => { if (!mountRef.current) return; const container = mountRef.current; // Get container dimensions const width = container.clientWidth; const height = container.clientHeight; const scene = new THREE.Scene(); const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 50, width / height, 0.1, 1000 ); // Rest of your camera setup... const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true }); renderer.setSize(width, height); renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true; container.appendChild(renderer.domElement); // Update the resize handler const handleResize = () => { if (!container) return; const newWidth = container.clientWidth; const newHeight = container.clientHeight; camera.aspect = newWidth / newHeight; camera.updateProjectionMatrix(); renderer.setSize(newWidth, newHeight); }; window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize); // Rest of your code... }, []);

3. Viewport Considerations for Mobile Devices

For mobile devices, you might want to set the viewport properly in your HTML:

HTML
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">

4. Responsive Camera Positions

You might need to adjust camera positions based on screen size for optimal viewing on different devices:

TYPESCRIPT
// Add this to your component const getResponsiveCameraPositions = () => { // Base positions const positions = [ { position: new THREE.Vector3(0, 8, 15), lookAt: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0), }, // ... other positions ]; // For smaller screens, adjust positions if (window.innerWidth < 768) { // Example adjustment for mobile return positions.map(pos => ({ position: new THREE.Vector3( pos.position.x * 0.8, pos.position.y, pos.position.z * 1.2 ), lookAt: pos.lookAt })); } return positions; }; // Then in your useEffect: cameraPositions.current = getResponsiveCameraPositions();

5. Handling Device Orientation Changes

For mobile devices, you should also handle orientation changes:

TYPESCRIPT
useEffect(() => { // Your existing code... const handleOrientationChange = () => { // Wait a moment for the browser to adjust setTimeout(handleResize, 100); }; window.addEventListener('orientationchange', handleOrientationChange); return () => { // Your existing cleanup... window.removeEventListener('orientationchange', handleOrientationChange); }; }, []);

Complete Solution

Here's a modified version of your resize handling that incorporates all these suggestions:

TYPESCRIPT
useEffect(() => { if (!mountRef.current) return; const container = mountRef.current; const width = container.clientWidth; const height = container.clientHeight; const scene = new THREE.Scene(); const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(50, width / height, 0.1, 1000); // Set initial camera position if (cameraPositions.current[0]) { camera.position.copy(cameraPositions.current[0].position); camera.lookAt(cameraPositions.current[0].lookAt); } const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true }); renderer.setSize(width, height); renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true; container.appendChild(renderer.domElement); // Comprehensive resize handler const handleResize = () => { if (!container) return; const newWidth = container.clientWidth; const newHeight = container.clientHeight; // Update camera camera.aspect = newWidth / newHeight; camera.updateProjectionMatrix(); // Update renderer with updateStyle parameter renderer.setSize(newWidth, newHeight, true); // Re-render the scene renderer.render(scene, camera); }; // Add all event listeners window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize); window.addEventListener('orientationchange', () => setTimeout(handleResize, 100)); // Your existing code for loading models, handling scroll, etc. // Don't forget to clean up return () => { window.removeEventListener('wheel', handleScroll); window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize); window.removeEventListener('orientationchange', () => setTimeout(handleResize, 100)); if (container && renderer.domElement) { container.removeChild(renderer.domElement); } }; }, []);

By implementing these changes, your Three.js chess application should now properly adapt to different screen sizes and handle window resizing events correctly.
