Presidential Day — 17 hours at the White House complex from briefing to state dinner
A 3D mega-world: 10 sub-locations across the White House complex (Oval, Sit Room, Press Briefing, Rose Garden, Cabinet, State Dining, Helipad with Marine One, Motorcade, Press Pool, Residence), 101 named characters, 23 acts from sunrise to lights out, THREATCON meter and live chyron.
What this is
A 3D mega-world recreation of one day at the White House complex, built as a 17-hour cinematic autoplay loop that compresses into about ten minutes of wall-clock time before reseeding with a brand new fictional administration. Ten sub-locations sit on a single map: Oval Office, Situation Room, Press Briefing room, Rose Garden, Cabinet Room, State Dining Room, Helipad with a full Marine One model and rotor downwash particles, Motorcade staging area, Press Pool pen, and the Residence. A 23-act timeline runs from 06:00 sunrise to 23:00 lights out — PDB, cabinet meeting, press briefing, Rose Garden bill signing, foreign delegation, Marine One lift to Andrews, motorcade return, state dinner, evening residence. 101 named characters across nine roster groups (POTUS, VP, Chief of Staff, Press Sec, SecState, SecDef, JCS Chair, NSA, cabinet, press corps, USSS detail with code names, foreign delegation, staff) move through the day while a live broadcast HUD shows the schedule, an active hotspot on the minimap, and a THREATCON meter that escalates briefly mid-day and de-escalates.
You don't play it. You watch it.
Why this is mind-blowing
It's a completely fictional administration. No real names. No partisanship. The vibe is West-Wing-meets-CSPAN — serious, cinematic, and prestige-drama. The day has rhythm: sunrise on the South Portico, lights coming up in the Sit Room for the PDB, the press corps filtering into the briefing room, the Marine One spool-up on the South Lawn with real downwash particles, the motorcade drift back from Andrews, candelabra flickering on the State Dining table for the foreign delegation, the residence lights coming on as the chyron quietly says "lights out." The THREATCON curveball at 10:30 escalates LOW → ELEVATED, the cabinet pivots into the Sit Room, and the deescalation lands an hour later — giving the day a single satisfying narrative arc without any sensationalism. After ten minutes the world reseeds with a new fictional roster and starts the day over with different names. It's the kind of stream that runs all night.
Prompt
Build a single-file HTML page that recreates "a day in the life of the White House complex" as a continuous 3D autoplay world I could put on Twitch and have viewers stay for hours. Tone is West-Wing-meets-CSPAN: serious, cinematic, fictional administration only — never reference any real President or living politician.

Include one THREATCON curveball mid-day (e.g. 10:30) that escalates LOW → ELEVATED briefly then deescalates.

What I learned shipping it
- How to model the White House complex as a coherent 3D space with 10 venues you can name on a minimap
- How to script 23 timeline acts that mirror a real presidential daily schedule (PDB, Cabinet, presser, signing, motorcade, state dinner) with a single THREATCON curveball that gives the day a story arc
- How to build a Marine One liftoff with rotor blur + downwash particles + camera shake that's clean enough to run on a 17-hour autoplay loop
