## Overview

In this tutorial series, we’ll **create an interactive game with React Three Fiber and Three.js, designed to help users learn Japanese characters (Hiragana and Katakana)**. This step-by-step guide is perfect for developers looking to dive into 3D game development while leveraging the power of React.

In the first part of this tutorial, we set up the foundation of our 3D game using React Three Fiber, Three.js, and Zustand. Now, it’s time to make the game interactive! 

## Adding Interactivity to the Game

A game isn't complete without interactivity. In this part, we will focus on implementing gameplay elements that make the game engaging and dynamic.


## Insights and Skills
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

- Implement a start menu and game over screen
- Handle collision detection for correct and incorrect answers
- Integrate sound effects and background music
- Add traps to increase game difficulty
- Render 2D text elements for UI components
