New demo showcasing the speak (text-to-speech) block, which was previously unused in any demo. Features 6 spinning celestial bodies (Sun + 5 planets) built from spheres with rotate_anim_seconds (LOOP) animations. Clicking each planet triggers it to speak a fun fact about itself in its own voice using different PITCH/RATE settings per planet. Unique features demonstrated: - speak block (TTS) with varied voice, pitch, and rate per object - rotate_anim_seconds with LOOP=true for continuous spinning - Dark deep-space sky and floor aesthetic - Educational interactivity (click-to-learn) https://claude.ai/code/session_01LW6oNJHFgseCVXWVJZoL94

Avoid calling the Sun a planet in the teaching copy.
Both messages tell learners to click a “planet”, but the Sun is clickable too. In an educational example that’s a small scientific inaccuracy and can be confusing.

Localize this example title in French.
Everything else in this examples section is translated, so leaving the new label in English will make the dropdown partially untranslated for French users.

Three visual improvements to make the demo much more engaging: 1. Surface textures on all spheres so rotation is actually visible: - Sun: swirl.png (orange-yellow, looks like plasma) - Mercury: rough.png (grey, cratered surface feel) - Venus: swirl.png (golden, swirling cloud tops) - Earth: gridxy.png (blue, grid lines make spin obvious) - Mars: rough.png (red, rugged surface texture) - Jupiter/Saturn: stripes.png (tan bands, spin is very clear) - Jupiter also gets a slightly oblate shape (wider than tall) 2. Saturn with tilted rings using create_cylinder (height 0.12, diameter 4.5) + rotate_model_xyz to tilt 25° toward the viewer, making Saturn instantly recognisable 3. Sun fire particle effect using create_particle_effect with flame_texture.png, orange→red, 40 particles/sec, no gravity Also adds Saturn speak block (deep voice, 0.7 pitch) with a fact about its 146 moons and iconic ring system. https://claude.ai/code/session_01LW6oNJHFgseCVXWVJZoL94

Saturn's rings won't rotate with Saturn.
The rings cylinder is a separate mesh and is not parented to the Saturn sphere. When Saturn's rotation animation runs (line 643-658), only the sphere rotates—the tilted rings remain stationary, creating a visual disconnect.
Consider either:
- Parenting the rings to Saturn (if supported by the framework), or
- Adding a matching rotation animation to the rings with the same duration.

Flock positions objects by placing their bounding box bottom at the given Y, not their geometric center. Saturn sphere (diameter=1.6) at Y=5 has center at Y=5.8. Ring cylinder (height=0.12) needed Y=5.74 so its center (5.74+0.06) also lands at Y=5.8, making the ring appear centered around Saturn's equator. https://claude.ai/code/session_01LW6oNJHFgseCVXWVJZoL94
Summary
Added a new interactive example called "Talking Planets" that allows users to explore the Solar System by clicking on planets to hear facts about them in different voices.
