Created GameConfig singleton class with localStorage persistence for game settings:
- Texture quality levels: WIREFRAME, SIMPLE_MATERIAL, FULL_TEXTURE, PBR_TEXTURE
- Physics enable/disable toggle for performance optimization
Created MaterialFactory for quality-level-based material generation:
- Planet materials with dynamic sun-oriented lightmaps
- Asteroid materials preserving GLB bump textures
- Sun materials with procedural fire textures
Integrated GameConfig throughout game entities:
- Conditional physics creation in asteroids, ship, start base
- Material creation respects texture quality settings
- Physics constraints only applied when physics enabled

- Use spherical coordinates (theta, phi) instead of circular (2D)
- Apply equal-area distribution formula for even spacing on sphere
- Convert spherical to Cartesian: (r, theta, phi) -> (x, y, z)
- Asteroids now surround player from all directions (above, below, around)
