Subway Runner 3D: rebuilding Subway Surfers movement rules

Subway Runner 3D is a procedural Three.js endless runner modeled on Subway Surfers movement and presentation. The author reports using REA and frame-by-frame observation of the original to derive speed, acceleration, jump and gravity values, then implementing lane movement, obstacles and power-ups for browsers and an Android WebView build.
