# meat
|
||||
|
||||
A from-scratch browser **first-person-shooter game engine** with a configurable
|
||||
**PS1 aesthetic**. Everything is hand-written: a **software rasterizer** draws
|
||||
textured triangles into a low-res CPU framebuffer, then Canvas2D blits it
|
||||
upscaled. No WebGL/WebGPU, no game-engine dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
This file is the durable project brief (checked in, auto-loaded). The per-topic
|
||||
rules live in `.agents/rules/*.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Guiding decisions (the "why", not derivable from code)
|
||||
|
||||
- **PS1 look is a set of live knobs**, dial-able from full-PS1 to clean. See
|
||||
`RenderConfig`. Nothing about the era is hardcoded into the renderer.
|
||||
- **Software rasterizer on purpose** — the PS1 look *is* rasterizer artifacts
|
||||
(affine texture swim, vertex snap, no mipmaps). Raytracing was considered and
|
||||
cut (it removes the very artifacts we want).
|
||||
- **Minimal architecture.** Scene-graph-lite / plain data + functions.
|
||||
Deliberately **not** ECS or any "Big Game Architecture." Prefer the smallest
|
||||
clear structure; add knobs to experiment rather than abstractions.
|
||||
- **2D assets only.** Sprites/billboards (PS1-style), **no 3D model loading**.
|
||||
- **Engine is headless.** `engine/` has no DOM types and could run server-side;
|
||||
all browser glue (canvas, input, image decode) lives in `app/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Stack & tooling
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bun** runtime + `bun test`. **TypeScript 7** (native `tsc`), strict,
|
||||
`moduleResolution: bundler`. **Vite 8** serves/builds the client.
|
||||
- **oxc** toolchain: `oxlint` + `oxfmt` (no eslint/prettier).
|
||||
- commitlint + husky (Conventional Commits), OpenSpec change workflow,
|
||||
forge-sync (Forgejo). Templates generated by `regime` from a `sigitex:` source.
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands
|
||||
|
||||
- `bun start` — Vite dev server; open the printed URL. Edits hot-reload.
|
||||
- `bun run build` — production build to `dist/`.
|
||||
- `bun run assets` — regenerate the placeholder PNGs in `/assets`.
|
||||
- `bunx tsc --build tsconfig.app.json` — **typecheck the app+engine graph. Use
|
||||
this**, not `bun run check` (see Caveats).
|
||||
- `bunx oxlint engine app` — lint.
|
||||
- `bun test` — tests (none yet).
|
||||
- `bun run serve` — Bun server (`server/server.ts`, a stub for now).
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout
|
||||
|
||||
- `engine/` — headless engine, consumed by `app/` via tsconfig project ref.
|
||||
- `math/` — `Vec2`, `Vec3`, `Mat4` (column-major, OpenGL-style; verified).
|
||||
- `render/` — `Color` (packed RGBA, little-endian = canvas ImageData order),
|
||||
`Framebuffer` (Uint32 color + Float32 1/w depth; `quantize` = color-depth +
|
||||
Bayer dither), `RenderConfig` (the look dials + presets), `Rasterizer`,
|
||||
`Texture` (nearest/bilinear, wrapping, no mipmaps), `Sky` (gradient + sun +
|
||||
procedural clouds).
|
||||
- `scene/` — `Camera` (fps yaw/pitch), `Mesh` (indexed tris), `Sprite`
|
||||
(Y-axis billboard).
|
||||
- `app/` — browser glue.
|
||||
- `main.ts` — game loop, input, preset switching, canvas blit, FPS meter.
|
||||
- `assets.ts` — load `/assets/*.png` → `Texture` (zero-copy; ImageData bytes
|
||||
are already the `Color` layout).
|
||||
- `level.ts` — builds the playground: per-texture meshes, `Aabb` colliders,
|
||||
NPC position, sky/cloud config. Geometry density knob `DIVISIONS_PER_UNIT`.
|
||||
- `player.ts` — feet-cylinder player: gravity/jump + circle-vs-AABB/-circle
|
||||
collision.
|
||||
- `index.html` — Vite entry at repo root; holds the `#screen` canvas and the
|
||||
`#fps` meter div (styled inline).
|
||||
- `scripts/gen-assets.ts` — procedurally draws the placeholder textures and
|
||||
writes PNGs (hand-rolled encoder via `node:zlib`). Run via `bun run assets`.
|
||||
- `assets/` — generated `floor/wall/crate/npc` PNGs. Swap for real art anytime;
|
||||
filenames are the contract.
|
||||
- `server/` — Bun server stub. `shared/` — isomorphic slot.
|
||||
|
||||
## Frame pipeline (`app/main.ts` `frame`)
|
||||
|
||||
`Player.update` → build `Camera` → `Camera.viewProjection` →
|
||||
`Sky.render` (fills color + resets depth, replaces a clear) →
|
||||
`Rasterizer.draw` floor, walls, crate (one call per texture) →
|
||||
`Sprite.billboard(npc)` drawn via `Rasterizer.draw` →
|
||||
`Framebuffer.quantize` → `present` (integer-scale, letterboxed blit;
|
||||
`imageSmoothingEnabled` follows `upscaleFilter`).
|
||||
|
||||
Rasterizer specifics: near-plane clip (Sutherland-Hodgman), **1/w z-buffer**,
|
||||
affine↔perspective-correct UV blend (`perspectiveCorrect`), screen-space
|
||||
vertex snap, flat directional lighting, distance fog, **alpha cutout** (discard
|
||||
texel alpha < 128, for sprites), **double-sided** (no backface culling).
|
||||
|
||||
## The look — where to tune
|
||||
|
||||
- **`engine/render/RenderConfig.ts`** — per-frame render dials + presets:
|
||||
`standard` (384×216, the startup default), `soft`, `clean`, plus an unbound
|
||||
`ps1` (320×240). In-app keys **1/2/3** switch standard/soft/clean live.
|
||||
Knobs: `internalWidth/Height`, `upscaleFilter`, `colorDepth`, `dither`,
|
||||
`vertexSnap`, `perspectiveCorrect` (0 = full affine swim, 1 = correct),
|
||||
`textureFilter`, `lighting`, `fog`.
|
||||
- **`app/level.ts` `DIVISIONS_PER_UNIT`** (1.3) — geometry triangle density per
|
||||
world unit. Higher = smaller triangles = less affine swim; **below ~0.5 the
|
||||
floor degenerates into a black wedge** (affine sampling collapses onto the
|
||||
texture's dark grout lines). Works with `perspectiveCorrect` — both fight the
|
||||
same affine error from different sides.
|
||||
|
||||
## Clouds
|
||||
|
||||
Procedural, moving, in the sky pass (`engine/render/Sky.ts`). Two styles picked
|
||||
by a `CloudLayer` discriminated union `kind`:
|
||||
- **`basicCumulus`** — flat hard-thresholded white puffs, 1 noise lookup/pixel.
|
||||
- **`fancyCumulus`** — domain-warped + heightfield-shaded fake volume,
|
||||
~5 lookups/pixel (pricier; watch the FPS meter).
|
||||
|
||||
Both are exported presets in `app/level.ts`; the active one is set in
|
||||
`buildLevel`'s `sky.clouds`. Add new cloud types by extending the union and
|
||||
branching in the cloud shader. Cost scales with sky resolution — fine at
|
||||
`standard`, heavy at `clean` (mitigate: fewer fbm octaves or half-res sky).
|
||||
|
||||
## Controls
|
||||
|
||||
WASD move · mouse look (click canvas to pointer-lock) · **Space** jump ·
|
||||
**1/2/3** switch look presets. FPS shown bottom-right.
|
||||
|
||||
## Code style (oxlint-enforced — match it)
|
||||
|
||||
No semicolons, double quotes, 2-space indent, trailing commas. **`type`, never
|
||||
`interface`.** Function declarations (arrows allowed). Uppercase hex (`0xFF`).
|
||||
Curly braces required on all `if`. No `void` operator. `T[]` not `Array<T>`.
|
||||
Prefer `globalThis` over `window`. Domain behavior lives in a `type` +
|
||||
matching `namespace` (see `Vec3`, `Color`, `Rasterizer`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Caveats
|
||||
|
||||
- No mipmaps, so distant textures shimmer (period-correct); far cloud/geometry
|
||||
is hidden by fog.
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging the renderer without a browser (key workflow)
|
||||
|
||||
The engine is pure, so you can **render headless to a PNG and inspect it**. A
|
||||
throwaway `bun` script can: `buildLevel()`, decode `assets/*.png` (they're
|
||||
filter-0 RGBA — trivial to inflate), set a `Camera` pose, run
|
||||
`Sky.render` + `Rasterizer.draw` into a `Framebuffer`, encode the color buffer
|
||||
to PNG (same hand-rolled encoder as `scripts/gen-assets.ts`), write it, and read
|
||||
it back. Sampling individual pixels this way diagnosed the affine black-wedge
|
||||
(affine sampled grout, perspective-correct sampled stone) and tuned the clouds.
|
||||
Put temp scripts in the job tmp dir, not the repo.
|
||||
|
||||
## Roadmap / not yet built
|
||||
|
||||
In-browser RenderConfig slider panel; mipmaps; `painter` depth mode; gouraud
|
||||
lighting; more cloud types; more props / a weapon / moving enemies. `shared/`
|
||||
is nearly empty. The FPS meter is static HTML + `textContent` writes only — no
|
||||
DOM-built UI yet (deliberate).
