📘 How to Play Star Map?

Star Map is a calm matching game where you connect real constellations in order across a dark night sky. The next target star pulses, you tap it, and a glowing line connects it to the previous one. Tapping the wrong star does nothing — no penalty, no sound.

1. The next target star pulses with a soft halo among the smaller background stars.
2. Tap the pulsing star; a glowing line connects it to the previous one, and the next star starts pulsing.
3. Once all stars are connected, the full constellation shape glows, showing its real name and a short fact.
4. After a brief celebration, the game automatically moves to the next constellation — an endless, lossless loop.

🌌 A real night sky

A navy-to-black gradient night sky, a soft moon glow, distant nebula clouds, randomly twinkling background stars, and an occasional shooting star — all drawn in code on canvas, with no emoji or boxes.

🔭 Real constellations, real facts

Every completed constellation shows its real name and a short fact; this is not just a matching drill, it is a discovery that meets real astronomy knowledge.

👶 What to expect at age 5-10

For the youngest players, the skill is simple: find the pulsing star, tap it. Older kids start anticipating constellation shapes and begin recognizing them in a real night sky.

🏠 Use at home

• With no time limit, it also works well as a calm bedtime activity.
• An adult can turn the fact shown after each constellation into a short astronomy conversation.
• Since wrong taps carry no penalty, a child learns comfortably through trying.
