Round 12 of the clean-up. Duplicate code had grown from 33 clones (249 lines) after round 11 to 140 clones (1263 lines), almost all of it in the panels and faces of the sound FX devices (#379 to #401). It is down to 57 clones (416 lines) now, and src is 816 lines shorter. - deviceParts.ts holds what the device panels built by hand: the head, rows of knobs, the screen style and the row layout for groups of knobs. Twelve panels use it. panel.knobs stays because the debug hooks read it. - DeviceFace is the base of the twelve faces. It finds the node and does wired, preview, commit, set, hide, reload and audition. compressorWired lives there as paramWired. - TextPool replaces ten copies of "make texts as needed, hide the rest" in the wave and video tabs, the rulers, the piano roll and the song and composition timelines. clipStrip.ts is the clip label strip the wave and video tabs share. - core/util/bytes.ts has the concat that ogg, matroska and avcColour each wrote out. - Dead code is gone: clear on the video players (never called since #402), posterFileOf and videoTimeAt (only tests called them) and easeOut (the same as glide(t, 3)). Values only used in their own file lose their export. - Comments over 125 columns are wrapped, and comments that told the history ("as before", "used to") say what is, in src and in the e2e modules. - Left alone on purpose: AnimationEditor and CompositionEditor share only the play button, and the curve panels are built differently. - Chip now places its boxes through put, which rounds. They were whole numbers already. The three row layouts are byte-identical before and after. - README lists the video and composition assets and the Videos and Compositions pages. Tests: - Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 313 files, 4835 tests. - e2e 25, 34, 64, 65, 66, 69 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 330 checks. - TextPool without keeping its texts and framesToRoom without making room both go red.

|
||
|
||
A browser-based tool "one step before a game engine": create **assets** (scenes, cameras,
|
||
sprites), place them into scenes, tweak their properties in an inspector and press **Play** –
|
||
all in one program, all drawn inside a single WebGL canvas.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Live: <https://nockal.com/feuerwerk/> · Widget playground: <https://nockal.com/feuerwerk/?playground>
|
||
|
||
**The documentation is the wiki:** <https://git.nockal.com/meleki/feuerwerk/wiki> – every concept,
|
||
node, tab and shortcut, plus the architecture and the development workflow. This file is the short
|
||
way in.
|
||
|
||
## In one screen
|
||
|
||
- An **asset** is a named, typed thing (scene, camera, sprite, text, behavior, variables, struct,
|
||
collider, rigidbody, joint, container, clip area, texture, vector art, pixel art, palette,
|
||
animation, curve, tile, tilemap, state machine, shader, shader function, font, sound, sound FX,
|
||
instrument, pattern, song, bus, video, composition, particles) with properties and no position.
|
||
- A **scene object** places an asset: position, sparse **overrides** of its properties, an optional
|
||
parent. Only what differs from the asset is stored; the inspector paints it gold and offers ↺ / ↑.
|
||
- A **container** is a reusable group edited once and placed many times; its content is resolved
|
||
from the template on every read. A **screen** is a container switched on and off.
|
||
- A **behavior** is logic as a node graph, placed like anything else and parented to the object it
|
||
acts on. Play has no built-in behaviour – everything that happens is a graph.
|
||
- An **account** owns projects: the editor asks for a user name and a password first, and each
|
||
account sees only its own projects. The Account menu at the far right of the toolbar changes
|
||
the password and signs out.
|
||
- **Play** runs a throwaway copy of the project; every panel stays usable and Stop brings back
|
||
exactly what was saved. **Release…** shares a link that plays the saved game on its own, without
|
||
the editor and without signing in.
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
Node 22 is required.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install
|
||
npm run dev # http://localhost:5175/feuerwerk/dist/ – API calls are proxied to production
|
||
npm run check # typecheck + lint + format:check + unit tests – the gate CI runs too
|
||
npm run build # writes dist/ and regenerates index.html; the folder is what nginx serves
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The browser suite and the three example games need a machine with a GPU:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node tools/seed-e2e.mjs && node tools/e2e.mjs # the editor, 2088 checks (GM_STEPS=20 for one step)
|
||
# every tool signs in first – see the Accounts page
|
||
node tools/seed-jumprun.mjs && node tools/smoke-jumprun.mjs
|
||
node tools/seed-tetris.mjs && node tools/smoke-tetris.mjs
|
||
node tools/seed-actor.mjs && node tools/smoke-actor.mjs
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Every push runs all of it on the Gitea runners – the gate as one job, build and suite as another
|
||
beside it – so locally take the gate plus the step your change touches and leave the full run to
|
||
CI. Details, the GPU requirement and the detached runner are in
|
||
[Development](https://git.nockal.com/meleki/feuerwerk/wiki/Development).
