The platform integrates a Monaco editor with an AI co-pilot for Three.js scenes, Firebase-powered multiplayer sync, and a DVR time-travel debugger. It offers free and pro tiers for collaborative 3D development.", "body_md": "Hi DEV community! 👋\n\nI want to share a project I've been working on: **IA Code Studio** ([https://ia-codestudio.com](https://ia-codestudio.com)). It is a next-generation interactive WebGL playground and IDE designed to make building Three.js scenes, 3D widgets, and interactive websites as fast and collaborative as possible.\n\n##\nHere is the backstory of how it was built, the architecture behind it, and the features we packed into it.\n\n##\n🌟 The Core Features\n\n###\n🤖 1. AI Prompt-to-3D Co-pilot\n\nWriting boilerplate code for WebGL and Three.js can be tedious (setting up renderers, cameras, lights, orbit controls, etc.).\n\n-\n**The Solution:** I integrated an AI assistant directly into the Monaco editor. You can prompt the AI in English or French to build a scene (e.g., *\"create a glowing wireframe grid with rotating metal spheres\"*), and it compiles and runs the WebGL code in real-time.\n### 👥 2. Real-Time Multiplayer Sandbox (DevSocial Hub)\nCoding is better with friends. I wanted a way for developers to pair program in 3D:\n-\n**Real-time Sync:** Powered by Firebase, multiple developers can join the same room code and code simultaneously.\n-\n**3D Laser Cursors:** We created synchronized 3D raycasting cursors, so you can point at elements in the 3D preview and your teammate sees exactly where you are looking.\n-\n**WebRTC Voice Chat:** No need for Discord or Zoom. We built high-fidelity peer-to-peer microphone voice channels directly into the browser tab using WebRTC.\n### ⏪ 3. DVR Time-Travel Debugger & Time Machine (Local Version Control)\n-\n**DVR Panel:** A floating panel that lets you travel back and forth between execution states to see how variables change.\n-\n**Time Machine History:** Automatically takes local snapshots of your code every 5 minutes and lets you restore any version with 1-click. All snapshots persist in `localStorage`\n\nso they survive page refreshes!\n### 📦 4. Standalone 1-Click Compiler\nOnce you are happy with your 3D creation (like our prebuilt *Steampunk Chrono* or *Webcam Avatar* widgets), you can export the entire workspace as a single, self-contained, offline-ready HTML file or a ZIP bundle.\n---\n## 🛠️ The Tech Stack\nI wanted the application to load instantly and run smoothly, so I opted for a lightweight stack:\n-\n**Frontend:** Vanilla HTML5, CSS3 (Glassmorphism design system), and Modern ES6+ JavaScript.\n-\n**3D Engine:** Three.js (WebGL renderer, OrbitControls).\n-\n**Editor:** Monaco Editor (the core engine behind VS Code).\n-\n**Database & Sync:** Firebase (Firestore real-time listeners for cursor sync, Auth, and Hosting).\n\n##\n* **WebRTC Protocol:** RTCPeerConnection API with Firestore-based signaling for the voice channels.\n\n##\n🚀 Try It Out!\n\nThe platform is live and offers a **Preemium plan**:\n\n- 🎁\n**Free Tier:** You can try 3 of our interactive components/widgets completely free of charge.\n- ⚡\n**Pro Tier ($10/month):** Unlock the full power of the AI co-pilot, real-time multiplayer coding sandboxes, custom 3D vector extruders, and unlimited exports.\n👉 **Live Website:** [https://ia-codestudio.com](https://ia-codestudio.com)\nI would love to get your feedback:\n- What features should we add next?\n- How does the platform feel?\nLet me know in the comments below!", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-real-time-multiplayer-3d-ide-with-webrtc-voice-chat-and-ai-generation", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/andmd555/i-built-a-real-time-multiplayer-3d-ide-with-webrtc-voice-chat-and-ai-generation-from-scratch-4l5k", "published_at": "2026-06-19 03:01:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-19 03:30:11.756203+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "artificial-intelligence", "generative-ai", "large-language-models", "computer-vision"], "entities": ["IA Code Studio", "Three.js", "WebRTC", "Firebase", "Monaco Editor", "WebGL", "DevSocial Hub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-real-time-multiplayer-3d-ide-with-webrtc-voice-chat-and-ai-generation", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-real-time-multiplayer-3d-ide-with-webrtc-voice-chat-and-ai-generation.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-real-time-multiplayer-3d-ide-with-webrtc-voice-chat-and-ai-generation.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-real-time-multiplayer-3d-ide-with-webrtc-voice-chat-and-ai-generation.jsonld"}}
