Tycho’s docs

A page for each part that’s in. Tyrell’s are in ../tyrell/docs.

• core.md: Tycho.seed, Tycho.math, Tycho.color, Tycho.loop.
• renderer.md: Tycho.gpu, Tycho.light, Tycho.post: the frame on the GPU.
• sprite.md: Tycho.sprite: canvases, letter-row sprites, outlines and copies, letter grids enlarged by rule, and the shape painter (Shapes).
• paint.md: Tycho.paint: the chunked lazy painter: a pixel buffer, flat or stroked, operations with their own seeds, the chunk cache.
• fx.md: Tycho.fx: particles thrown and falling, effects that run out, words rising.
• world.md: Tycho.grid, Tycho.collide, Tycho.move, Tycho.path: tiles, the collision query, movers and paths.
• play.md: Tycho.input (the controls and map gestures), Tycho.items (bags, things, slots, gear and counted views), Tycho.guide (a tutorial’s steps).
• harm.md: Tycho.harm, the moment of a hit: a pipeline of stages (resist, armor, soak, react, knock, stagger, hold and the game’s own), statuses and their reactions, means, moves, triggers, the feel and the player’s wounds; the page is also the whole design for harm, with what follows in Morgul, a Tyrell module.
• shell.md: Tycho.save, Tycho.pwa, Tycho.dev, Tycho.loader.
• dev.md: Tycho.dev, the dev tools: the address and the flags, Notes (a log any game can write to), and the dev drawer (a console docked at the side while the game runs: the game’s tabs, overlays, the events, steppers and toggles, a tag while a setting that changes play is off its default).
• audio.md: Tycho.audio: sound made in code (the engine, the voices, the bank rendered ahead, the music’s machinery).
• inspect.md: Tycho.inspect: the minds inspector for a game whose people are Tyrell’s.
• ui.md: Tycho.ui: toasts, rising lines, buttons wired by their data attributes, a screen’s acts.
• minds.md: the bridge, Tycho.minds (dist/tycho-minds.js): the glue between a game and Tyrell.
• installable.md: the service worker (dist/tycho-sw.js).
• testkit.md: the Node test kit (dist/testkit.cjs).
• eros.md: Eros, a sandbox in the terminal for Tyrell: a town live, its story, everything it’s made of to see, add and change, the living documentation of every kind, and setup files opened and exported (npm run eros).
• brand/: the logo, its files and colors, and the script that draws it.
• move.md: moving the three games onto Tycho, phase by phase: what moved, what changed, what’s left.

Proposed, and not built yet:

• events.md: watching the simulation’s events by impact (a death near 1, a chat near 0) above a threshold you set: impact in Tyrell’s log, the view in the development tools.

A study, and not built yet:

• study/: how games generate pixel characters, items, plants, worlds, light, motion and effects with code, which styles, resolutions and perspectives suit them, and what Tycho should add, in five waves led by an indexed picture: a page for each topic with live demos, the roadmap, the sources and the research notes.
