Development

nix to install bun... or do it globally.

bun run . to generate HTMLs

bun serve to serve them locally

bun dev if you're developing the templates for auto-generation.

Infrastructure

• Output generation

  • Bun renders TypeScript and GLSL to html/
  • src/public/ is copied to html/
    • This doubles as an "archival" system to preserve scuffedness
  • .ply files are converted to JS typed arrays and Mesh objects
  • .html files (and README.md) are generated from rendered TypeScript main.ts files.

• Platform

  • WebGLApp provides render loop, canvas, and other stuff
  • Behavior provides automatic registration of WebGLApp events (like Unity MonoBehaviors)
  • Shader provides GLSL shader tooling
  • Mesh is a DTO with vertex position, color, UVs, and faces
  • MeshRenderer sends WebGL instructions for rendering a Mesh object with a Shader object.
  • Renderable is a container of a Transform and Renderer (like a Unity GameObject)
  • Transform is a tuplet of a position vec3, rotation quat, and scale vec3; to be used anywhere needed.
  • Scene is a group of Renderables
