The user asked to see what the agent is working on through MCP. Until now the agent had to call open for that, and mostly did not. - After run_commands the editor shows what the call worked on last. A graph opens its tab with the touched nodes selected, deleted ones left out. A scene or container shows with its objects selected. Any other asset shows in the inspector. - Objects in another scene switch the scene inside the same undo step. A switch of its own would be its own step, and Ctrl+Z would take back the switch before the agent's edit. - A graph tab that is open already moves its camera after the nodes. It stays put while they are in view, moves only as far as needed with the zoom kept, and frames them like Fit only when they do not fit. This is revealBoxes in framing.ts and the state's reveal event. - A tab that has just opened frames itself first and moves after that. - The account menu has "Follow agent" below "Agent", on by default and kept in the browser. While the game plays the editor never follows. - The run_commands description and the relay's instructions tell the agent about it. Tests: - agent-edit.test.ts: 3 new tests, each red with its bent-back fix (scene switch outside the undo step, deleted nodes selected, switch ignored) - graph-framing.test.ts 29/29, 6 of them new - e2e 71 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 20 checks. 71g4 adds a node 3000 px to the right of an open tab: it ends 24 px inside the edge, zoom still 1 - Tried live on a test project through a real MCP session: the tab opened, the nodes and the object were selected. With the old build a far node stayed out of view, after the reload the camera went there - Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 318 files, 4931 tests Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Feuerwerk
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.
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:5175/; API and data 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:
node tools/seed-e2e.mjs && node tools/e2e.mjs # the editor, 2090 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.
