+### `earthDefender` example
+
+The Earth, the hexagonal glass dome and the five asteroid shapes in
+`public/assets/earthDefender/` were modelled for this example and are covered
+by the MIT license above, as are the rock colour and normal maps, the nebula,
+and everything else the example generates at run time. The saucer, the bomb
+and the drone sound come from elsewhere and are credited below.
+
+The flying saucer `ufo.glb` is derived from a model by **RayB2**, released
+into the public domain under **CC0 1.0**
+(<https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>). It was re-exported for
+this example: the open edges filled, and its materials rebuilt as Principled
+BSDF so they survive the glTF round trip.
+
+The bomb `bomb.glb` is derived from the **KayKit Mini-Game Variety Pack** by
+**Kay Lousberg** (<https://kaylousberg.com>), released under **CC0 1.0**. It was
+cut below the band and re-exported so that it stands flat where it lands.
+
+The sound effects in `sfx/` are from the **Sci-Fi Sounds** pack by **Kenney**
+(<https://www.kenney.nl>), released under **CC0 1.0**: the saucer's engine note
+`earthDefenderUfoDrone.*` is `spaceEngine_003`, and the gun's five takes
+`earthDefenderLaser0-4.*` are `laserLarge_000` to `laserLarge_004`, played at
+random so the same shot is never heard twice running. Crediting Kenney is explicitly not mandatory and
+it is done anyway, as with the other CC0 work here.
+
+It is not the published file: the saucer's drone loops for as long as it is in
+the sky, and the original is a one-shot with an attack at the front and a fade
+at the back, so looping it pumped. The sustained body was taken, its tail
+folded back over its head with an EQUAL-POWER crossfade, and the result
+normalised. Equal power rather than linear because the two ends are
+uncorrelated noise and a linear fade leaves an audible dip exactly at the loop
+point.
+
+The title screen's music `bgm/earthDefenderMenu.*` is the "menu/industry"
+track from **"Atmospheric puzzles"** by **legoluft**, the music of the Krank
+game, submitted to OpenGameArt by qubodup and released under **CC0 1.0**:
+
+<https://opengameart.org/content/atmospheric-puzzles>
+
+CC0 asks for nothing and it is named anyway. Converted from the pack's OGG to
+an additional MP3 for the browsers without Vorbis; neither was otherwise
+edited.
+
+The game's music `bgm/earthDefenderBattle.*` is **"Space Boss Battle Theme"**
