Headless — it touches no GPU. ## Helpers ### `alongPoints` ```ts function alongPoints(values: ReadonlyArray, at: number, closed = false): number ``` A value given at each control point (a radius, a width), read at a sample's `at`: smoothly between the points. ### `arcLengths` ```ts function arcLengths(samples: ReadonlyArray, closed = false): number[] ``` How far along a sampled curve each sample is, 0 at the start and 1 at the end (by length). ### `capsuleVerts` ```ts function capsuleVerts(segs = 24, rings = 8, r = 0.25): Float32Array ``` Capsule (pill): total height 1, radius `r` (default 0.25) — scale h for longer pills. ### `circleVerts` ```ts function circleVerts(segs = 32, arc = 1): Float32Array ``` Flat disc (or pie slice via `arc` 0..1) in the XZ plane, double-sided, unit diameter. ### `coatSoup` ```ts function coatSoup(target: Soup, o: CoatOptions): Soup ``` The coat over `target`: its outer surface and the skirt round its edge. ### `coneVerts` ```ts function coneVerts(segs = 32, open = false, arc = 1): Float32Array ``` Capped cone: unit base diameter, unit height, apex up. Smooth sides. `open` skips the base and double-sides the shell (a visible inside); a based `arc` (0..1) portion is sealed with flat cut walls. ### `cubeVerts` ```ts function cubeVerts(segs = 1): Float32Array ``` Unit cube (flat normals) — the workhorse box. `segs` grids each face (visually identical when undeformed; matters under vertex fog/deformers). ### `cylinderVerts` ```ts function cylinderVerts(segs = 32, rTop = 1, rBottom = 1, open = false, arc = 1): Float32Array ``` Capped cylinder, diameter 1, height 1: smooth side, flat caps. Generalised to a frustum: `rTop`/`rBottom` are each end's radius as a fraction of the unit radius (1 = full 0.5; rTop 0 = a cone). `open` skips the caps and makes the shell DOUBLE-SIDED (an open pipe has a visible inside); a capped `arc` (0..1) portion is SEALED with flat cut walls (a solid wedge). ### `deforms` ```ts const deforms = (d: Deform | undefined): boolean=> … ``` Does this deform do anything? ### `deformSoup` ```ts function deformSoup(s: Soup, d: Deform): Soup ``` A reshaped copy of `s` (positions only; normals are left as they were — recompute them). ### `DIE_SIDES` ```ts const DIE_SIDES: readonly [4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20] ``` The sides a die can have. ### `dieSoup` ```ts function dieSoup(sides: DieSides, o: DieOptions = {}): Soup ``` A die resting on a face, centered, fitted to its natural box (its longest side 1). Faces are numbered so opposite faces add up to sides + 1 (the d4, which has none opposite, 1–4); the top shows the highest number. Flat normals. ### `discVerts` ```ts function discVerts(fillet = 0.35, segs = 40, filletSegs = 6): Float32Array ``` Disc: a coin / casino chip / wheel — a cylinder whose rim edges are FILLETED (rounded where the flat faces meet the flat side). Built as a lathe: the 2D profile (face → quarter-round fillet → straight rim → fillet → face) revolved around Y, with exact normals from the profile. Unit diameter × unit height: scale h thin for a chip, roll it upright (pitch/roll ±90°) for a wheel. `fillet` = fraction of the smaller half-extent (0..1). ### `earClip` ```ts function earClip(pts: Array<[number, number]>): Array<[number, number, number]> ``` Ear-clipping triangulation of a simple polygon (no holes, no self-intersections). Returns index triples into `pts`. O(n²) — geometry builds once per bucket, so simplicity beats asymptotics here. ### `extrudeVerts` ```ts function extrudeVerts(outline: Array<[number, number]>, bevel = 0, bevelSegs = 3): Float32Array ``` Extrusion of a simple 2D outline ([x, z] points, auto-fit) through unit height, with an optional rounded bevel where the walls meet the caps. `bevel` = bevel size as a fraction of the half-height (0..0.9); the caps inset by the bevel (spiky concave outlines want a SMALL bevel — the inset is a plain miter offset, not a full polygon offset). ### `flatNormals` ```ts function flatNormals(s: Soup): Soup ``` Per-face normals: the faceted look, one flat colour a face. ### `flipSoup` ```ts function flipSoup(s: Soup): Soup ``` Every triangle wound the other way (and its normals turned round): an inside-out soup put right. ### `GEOMETRY_STRIDE` ```ts const GEOMETRY_STRIDE: 8 ``` Floats per vertex in every geometry: position xyz, normal xyz and uv, so 8. ### `gradientNoise` ```ts function gradientNoise(seed: number): (x: number, y: number, z: number) => number ``` Smooth 3D gradient noise, about −1…1, the same for the same seed: lumps on a potato, bumps on a rock. procgen's Perlin noise. ### `gridSamples` ```ts function gridSamples(target: Soup, rows: number, columns: number, o: { region?: SurfaceRegion | undefined; stagger?: boolean | undefined; jitter?: number | undefined; seed?: number | undefined } = {}): SurfacePoint[] ``` Rows × columns over a surface by its uv; alternate rows half a step round (`stagger`, default on), like corn. ### `intersectVerts` ```ts function intersectVerts(a: Float32Array, b: Float32Array): Float32Array ``` Returns the volume common to `a` and `b`, as one triangle soup. ### `latheForm` ```ts function latheForm(profile: ReadonlyArray, o: FormDetail & { arc?: number } = {}): Soup ``` A LATHE at real size: `profile` points `[radius, y]` (bottom to top, in the caller's units) as a smooth curve revolved about y. An end that does not reach the axis is sealed with a flat cap. ### `latheVerts` ```ts function latheVerts(points: Array<[number, number]>, segs = 32, arc = 1): Float32Array ``` Lathe: a 2D profile of [d, y] points (d = distance from the axis, authored BOTTOM → TOP) revolved around Y. Auto-fit to the unit box; smooth normals from the profile tangents. `arc` sweeps a portion. A profile that doesn't reach the axis (end d > 0) is AUTO-SEALED with a flat cap to the axis at both ends — no pinholes at the poles. ### `leafForm` ```ts function leafForm(length: number, width: number, o: LeafOptions = {}): Soup ``` A LEAF at real size: a thin blade `length` long (along +y, base at the origin) and `width` wide (across x), its face toward +z, closed (top and underside), folded, curled and twisted as asked. ### `linePoints` ```ts function linePoints(count: number, a: V3, b: V3): V3[] ``` `count` points evenly along a line from `a` to `b`. ### `mergeSoups` ```ts function mergeSoups(list: ReadonlyArray): Soup ``` Several soups as one. ### `MESHES` ```ts const MESHES: Record ``` Every built-in primitive, unit-sized. Options are per shape; anything omitted takes the shape's default. ### `moveSoup` ```ts function moveSoup(s: Soup, d: V3): Soup ``` Move a soup. ### `outward` ```ts function outward(s: Soup): Soup ``` A closed soup wound outward (CCW seen from outside, as the renderer culls). ### `panelVerts` ```ts function panelVerts(r = 0.35, seg = 6): Float32Array ``` Panel: an extruded ROUNDED-CORNER rectangle (unit footprint in XZ, unit thickness in y — scale h thin for cards/plaques). `r` = corner radius as a fraction of the half-extent. Smooth wall normals around the corner arcs via the same clamp-to-core trick as the rounded box. ### `placeCopies` ```ts function placeCopies(item: Soup, places: ReadonlyArray): Soup ``` Copies of `item` (built about its own origin, +y up) at each placement, merged into one soup. ### `planeVerts` ```ts function planeVerts(segs = 1): Float32Array ``` A double-sided unit sheet in the XZ plane, centred on the origin, facing +y on top and -y underneath: ground sheets, water, cards laid flat. `segs` (rounded, at least 1; default 1) divides each side into that many cells, which a deformer or vertex effect needs: a two-triangle plane interpolates everything across one long diagonal. ### `polyhedronVerts` ```ts function polyhedronVerts(kind: 'tetrahedron' | 'octahedron' | 'icosahedron' | 'dodecahedron', detail = 0): Float32Array ``` A unit-sphere-fit Platonic solid with flat faces. `detail` subdivides each face 0..4 times toward a sphere. Default 0 (the raw solid). ### `quadVerts` ```ts function quadVerts(segs = 1): Float32Array ``` A unit quad in the XY plane facing +z. The billboard mesh: local x is right, local y is up. ### `ringPlacements` ```ts function ringPlacements(count: number, o: { radius?: number | undefined; tilt?: number | undefined; jitter?: number | undefined; seed?: number | undefined; scale?: [number, number] | undefined } = {}): Placement[] ``` Copies round a vertical axis: bases on a circle of `radius`, each leaning out by `tilt` degrees, evenly spaced. ### `ringVerts` ```ts function ringVerts(inner = 0.5, segs = 32, arc = 1): Float32Array ``` Flat ring/annulus (or portion via `arc`) in the XZ plane, double-sided. `inner` = inner radius as a fraction of the outer (0..1). ### `roundedBoxVerts` ```ts function roundedBoxVerts(r = 0.2, seg = 7): Float32Array ``` Rounded ("chamfered") unit box: edges and corners bevel smoothly with radius `r` (fraction of the half-extent, 0..0.5). The classic trick: build each face as a grid, clamp each point to the shrunken core box, and push it out along the (smooth) normal from the core — flat mid-faces, curved edges. ### `roundedPlaneVerts` ```ts function roundedPlaneVerts(r = 0.3, segs = 28): Float32Array ``` A double-sided flat sheet in the XZ plane with ROUNDED CORNERS, gridded so it still bends — a playing card, a token, a rounded sign. `r` is the corner radius as a fraction of the half-extent (0 = square, 1 = a stadium). Why not `panelVerts` for a card: a panel is an EXTRUSION, so it has side walls (a surface effect runs on them, and real cards are far too thin for the thickness to read) and its faces are triangle FANS, which cannot carry a vertex bend. This is a grid, exactly like `planeVerts`, with the outline pushed onto a rounded rectangle. `segs` sets BOTH the bend smoothness and how finely the corner arcs are sampled, so a large on-screen card wants more of it. ### `scaleSoup` ```ts function scaleSoup(s: Soup, k: V3): Soup ``` Scale a soup about the origin (per axis), normals carried properly. ### `shapeVerts` ```ts function shapeVerts(outline: Array<[number, number]>): Float32Array ``` Flat filled shape: a simple 2D outline of [x, z] points triangulated (ear clipping — no holes), double-sided in the XZ plane, auto-fit. ### `sliceByPlane` ```ts function sliceByPlane(s: Soup, axis: 'x' | 'y' | 'z', d: number, keep: 'below' | 'above' = 'below'): { kept: Soup; face: Soup } ``` The soup on one side of the plane `axis = d`, and the cap closing it (its normal pointing out of the kept side). ### `smoothCurve` ```ts function smoothCurve(points: ReadonlyArray>, o: CurveOptions = {}): CurveSample[] ``` The curve through `points`, sampled. Every control point is on the curve; corners and the two ends of an open curve are always samples. With `smooth: false` the samples are the points themselves. ### `smoothNormals` ```ts function smoothNormals(s: Soup, crease = 50): Soup ``` Smooth normals: every corner takes the area-weighted average of the faces meeting at its POINT whose normals are within `crease` degrees of its own face's, so curved surfaces read round and real edges (a cap's rim, a corner) stay sharp. Points are matched by position, so seams and separately built pieces join smoothly. ### `soupBounds` ```ts function soupBounds(s: Soup): SoupBounds ``` The box a soup fills; a zero box at the origin for an empty one. ### `soupVolume` ```ts function soupVolume(s: Soup): number ``` The signed volume a closed soup encloses: negative when it is wound inside out. ### `sphereVerts` ```ts function sphereVerts(segs = 28, rings = 18): Float32Array ``` UV sphere, diameter 1, smooth normals, equirect UVs (planet maps wrap). ### `spiralSamples` ```ts function spiralSamples(target: Soup, count: number, o: { region?: SurfaceRegion | undefined; jitter?: number | undefined; seed?: number | undefined } = {}): SurfacePoint[] ``` `count` points on the golden-angle spiral over a surface by its uv: the phyllotaxis of a pineapple or a pinecone. ### `subdivideSoup` ```ts function subdivideSoup(s: Soup, maxEdge: number, passes = 8): Soup ``` Split every edge longer than `maxEdge` at its middle, again until none is, so a shape with long flat faces (a box, a cylinder's sides) can bend. A split depends on the edge alone, so the two triangles that share an edge split it alike and no cracks open. `passes` caps the rounds. ### `subtractVerts` ```ts function subtractVerts(a: Float32Array, b: Float32Array): Float32Array ``` Returns `a` with `b` cut away, as one triangle soup. ### `surfaceSamples` ```ts function surfaceSamples(target: Soup, count: number, o: { region?: SurfaceRegion | undefined; seed?: number | undefined } = {}): SurfacePoint[] ``` `count` points spread EVENLY over a surface (best-candidate sampling: each new point is the farthest of a dozen random tries from the ones already placed), within a region. The same seed gives the same points. ### `sweepForm` ```ts function sweepForm(path: ReadonlyArray>, o: SweepOptions): Soup ``` A SWEEP at real size: a section swept along a smooth path through `path`'s control points, its radius eased from point to point, with round, flat or pointed ends. uv: u round the section, v along the path (0…1), so a pattern can follow the curve. ### `torusKnotVerts` ```ts function torusKnotVerts(p = 2, q = 3, segs = 96, sides = 10, tube = 0.24): Float32Array ``` Torus knot (p, q winding) as a closed tube, fit to the unit box. ### `torusVerts` ```ts function torusVerts(major = 0.34, minor = 0.16, segs = 36, sides = 18, arc = 1): Float32Array ``` Torus in the XZ plane, outer diameter 1, smooth normals. `arc` (0..1) sweeps a portion of the ring; partial sweeps are SEALED with flat caps at both cut ends (a cut sausage, not a hollow shell). ### `toUnitBox` ```ts function toUnitBox(s: Soup, b: SoupBounds = soupBounds(s)): Soup ``` Fit a soup INTO THE UNIT BOX the renderer scales by a part's size: positions centred and divided by the soup's own extent on each axis (so it fills −0.5…0.5; pass `b` to fit several soups by one box), normals multiplied by that extent (the inverse transpose of the divide), so that once the renderer scales by the size — it divides normals by the instance size — they are the normals of the shape at that size. An axis the soup is flat along keeps a sliver of thickness, so normals never collapse. ### `transformVerts` ```ts function transformVerts(verts: Float32Array, xf: Transform): Float32Array ``` Return a copy of `verts` with a placement baked in: scale → rotate → move. Normals rotate too (divided by scale first for non-uniform, then renormalised). ### `tubeVerts` ```ts function tubeVerts(path: number[][], r = 0.16, sides = 12, closed = false): Float32Array ``` Tube swept along a 3D polyline (auto-fit to the unit box). `r` = tube radius as a fraction of the unit half-extent; `closed` joins the ends. ### `unionVerts` ```ts function unionVerts(a: Float32Array, b: Float32Array): Float32Array ``` Returns the union of two triangle soups as one soup — `a` plus `b`. ### `uvPoint` ```ts function uvPoint(target: Soup, u: number, v: number): SurfacePoint | null ``` The surface point at a uv (a lathe, a cylinder or a sweep's u round and v along), or null if no triangle has it. ### `vesselForm` ```ts function vesselForm(profile: ReadonlyArray, wall: number, o: FormDetail & { fill?: VesselFill } = {}): VesselForm ``` A VESSEL at real size: a hollow lathe. `profile` is the OUTSIDE (bottom to top, `[radius, y]`, the caller's units); the inside is the outside moved in by `wall`, joined to it by a rounded rim, with a floor `wall` thick. `fill` builds the contents to a level, filling the inside exactly. ### `volumePoints` ```ts function volumePoints(count: number, within: ScatterVolume, size: V3, gap: number, seed = 1): V3[] ``` Up to `count` points packed in a volume, at least `gap` apart (dart throwing), the same for the same seed. ### `wedgeVerts` ```ts function wedgeVerts(): Float32Array ``` Wedge (ramp): a unit box halved diagonally — flat floor, vertical back at -x, slope up toward -x. ## Classes ### `Builder` ```ts class Builder ``` Triangle-soup builder for custom geometry (procgen packs use this via world.custom). quad()/triP() self-correct winding — nothing ships inside-out. - `triP(a: number[], b: number[], c: number[]): void` — One triangle from three (pos+normal, optionally +uv) points — 6 or 8 components each. WINDING IS SELF-CORRECTING: the pipeline culls back faces expecting CCW-from-outside, so if the triangle's geometric normal disagrees with its vertex normals (wound clockwise), it is flipped here — no generator can ship inside-out. Points without a uv are BOX-PROJECTED from the face's dominant axis (unit-box coords → 0..1). - `quad(a: number[], b: number[], c: number[], d: number[]): void` — Two triangles for the quad a-b-c-d (counter-clockwise seen from outside). - `build(): Float32Array` — Returns the collected vertices as one interleaved Float32Array (8 floats each). ### `Solid` ```ts class Solid ``` A solid you can boolean against another. Build from any triangle-soup (a this module's generators generator's output), optionally with a placement, then chain `.subtract()` / `.union()` / `.intersect()` and hand `.toVerts()` to ``registerMesh3d(k, name, solid.toVerts())`` — one baked, instanced mesh. ```ts const die = Solid.fromVerts(roundedBoxVerts(0.22, 3)) .subtract(Solid.fromVerts(sphereVerts(16, 12), { pos: [0, 0.5, 0], scale: 0.2 })); world.custom('die', () => die.toVerts(), { w: S, h: S, d: S, color }); ``` Bake-time only; keep tools clean/closed (see the robustness note up top). - `static fromVerts(verts: Float32Array, xf?: Transform): Solid` — Wrap a triangle-soup, optionally baking a placement into it. - `static merge(solids: Solid[]): Solid` — Concatenate solids WITHOUT a boolean. Correct only when they do not overlap each other — and when they do not, it is the right answer, because the union of disjoint solids IS their concatenation. This is the one to reach for when building a tool set. A die's twenty-one pips are twenty-one separate balls: {@link union} would run twenty BSP booleans to discover they never touch, which is slow enough to stall a page, while this is an array copy. Overlapping tools still want `union`. - `static union(solids: Solid[]): Solid` — Union many solids into one, properly — a full boolean per pair, so overlapping solids come out as a single skin. Combine cutting TOOLS this way before a single subtract: "union the tools, subtract once" keeps the polygon count, and the bake time, an order of magnitude below N sequential subtracts. For tools you know are disjoint, {@link merge} does the same job without the booleans. - `union(other: Solid): Solid` — Returns a new solid that is this one plus `other`. - `subtract(other: Solid): Solid` — Returns a new solid with `other` cut away from this one. - `intersect(other: Solid): Solid` — Returns a new solid: the volume common to this one and `other`. - `toVerts(): Float32Array` — The result as interleaved (pos, normal, uv) soup for `registerMesh3d`. ## Types ### `CoatOptions` ```ts interface CoatOptions ``` How a coat is laid. - `thickness: number` — How thick, in the target's units. - `from?: number | undefined` — Where its edge sits, 0 (the bottom) … 1 (the top) of the target's height. Default 0.5: the top half. - `drips?: number | undefined` — Drips running down from the edge. Default none. - `dripDepth?: number | undefined` — How far the longest drip runs, in the target's units. Default a fifth of the target's height. - `wave?: number | undefined` — How much the edge waves, in the target's units. Default a thirtieth of the target's height. - `waves?: number | undefined` — Waves round the edge. Default 7. - `seed?: number | undefined` — A different set of drips and waves. - `under?: boolean | undefined` — Cover the bottom instead (the edge rises to `from`, and the part below it is coated). ### `CurveOptions` ```ts interface CurveOptions ``` How a curve is drawn. - `closed?: boolean | undefined` — Join the last point back to the first. Default false. - `corners?: ReadonlyArray | undefined` — Which control points are corners. - `smooth?: boolean | undefined` — False: straight lines between the points. Default true. - `maxTurn?: number | undefined` — Most degrees the curve may turn between two samples (smaller is smoother). Default 7. - `maxStep?: number | undefined` — Longest step between samples, in the curve's own units. Default: no limit. - `steps?: number | undefined` — Dense samples a span is first cut into, before the gentle ones are dropped. Default 32. ### `CurveSample` ```ts interface CurveSample ``` One sample of a curve. - `p: number[]` — The point. - `at: number` — Where it is among the control points: 2.5 is halfway from point 2 to point 3 (radii and widths follow this). - `corner: boolean` — A sharp angle here (a corner point, or an end). ### `Deform` ```ts interface Deform ``` How to reshape a soup. Every field is optional; they apply in this order: squash, lobes, taper, twist, noise, bend. - `bend?: number` — Degrees the y axis curves through, as a circular arc about the middle (banana, horn, cucumber). - `bendAxis?: 'x' | 'z'` — Which way it bends: toward +x (`z`, the default: it turns about z) or toward +z (`x`). - `taper?: [number, number]` — The section's scale at the top relative to the bottom, `[x, z]` (carrot, cone, trunk). - `twist?: number` — Degrees the section turns about y from bottom to top (licorice, rope). - `lobes?: { count: number; depth: number; sharp?: number }` — The section pushed in and out round y: `count` lobes, `depth` 0…1 of the radius, `sharp` 0 (round waves) … 1 (narrow creases). - `noise?: { amount: number; scale?: number; seed?: number }` — Smooth lumps along the surface: `amount` in the soup's units, `scale` the size of a lump (default a fifth of the shape), `seed`. - `squash?: [number, number]` — The section's scale, `[x, z]`: an oval. ### `DieOptions` ```ts interface DieOptions ``` How a die is made. - `chamfer?: number | undefined` — 0 (sharp) … 0.4: how much of each edge is cut away by a chamfer, as a fraction of the die's size. Default 0.12. ### `DieSides` ```ts type DieSides = typeof DIE_SIDES[number] ``` The number of sides of one die: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 20. ### `FormDetail` ```ts interface FormDetail ``` How finely a curved form is cut. - `around?: number | undefined` — Segments round the axis (lathe, vessel) or round the section (sweep). Default 24. - `maxTurn?: number | undefined` — Most degrees a profile or path may turn between samples. Default 7. - `smooth?: boolean | undefined` — False: straight lines between control points. Default true. - `crease?: number | undefined` — Degrees past which two faces meet as a sharp edge rather than a smooth one. Default 45. ### `Geometry3dApi` ```ts interface Geometry3dApi ``` `game.geometry3d`: build a named primitive's vertices, or register your own. - `readonly names: ReadonlyArray` — Every built-in primitive name. - `build(name: string, opts?: Record): Float32Array` — Build a primitive's interleaved vertices (pos xyz, normal xyz, uv — 8 floats a vertex), unit-sized. Throws on an unknown name. - `define(name: string, build: MeshBuilder): void` — Register your own builder under a name, so `build(name)` and `world3d.mesh(name, opts)` find it (world-3d builds and uploads it on first ask). Defining a name again replaces the builder: `world3d.mesh(name, opts)` builds from the new one the next time it is asked, under the same mesh id, so the objects already wearing it change shape too. The same builder again changes nothing. Throws on a built-in primitive's name. - `has(name: string): boolean` — Whether a name is known. ### `LeafOptions` ```ts interface LeafOptions extends FormDetail ``` How a leaf is shaped. - `widths?: ReadonlyArray | undefined` — Half-widths along its length, base to tip, 0…1 of the full width (smooth between). Default a classic leaf. - `fold?: number | undefined` — Degrees of the V folded along its midrib. - `curl?: number | undefined` — Degrees it curls along its length (toward its face, +z). - `twist?: number | undefined` — Degrees it twists from base to tip. - `thickness?: number | undefined` — Its thickness, in the caller's units. Default a fortieth of its length. ### `MeshBuilder` ```ts type MeshBuilder = (o: Record) => Float32Array ``` Builds one primitive's interleaved vertices from an options record. ### `Placement` ```ts interface Placement ``` One copy's placement: where, which way its +y points, how far it is spun about that, and how big. - `pos: V3` — Where the copy's origin goes, in world units. - `up: V3` — The direction the copy's +y points; any non-zero length, as it is normalised. - `spin?: number` — Turn about `up`, in radians; default 0. - `scale?: number | V3` — Size: one number for all three axes, or a factor for each of x, y and z; default 1. ### `ProfilePoint` ```ts type ProfilePoint = [number, number] | [number, number, number] ``` A profile point: `[radius, y]`, with a third value 1 for a corner. ### `ScatterVolume` ```ts type ScatterVolume = 'sphere' | 'cone' | 'box' | 'cylinder' | 'bunch' ``` A volume copies are packed into, about the origin, `size` its box. ### `Soup` ```ts type Soup = Float32Array ``` An interleaved triangle soup: 8 floats a vertex, 3 vertices a triangle. ### `SoupBounds` ```ts interface SoupBounds ``` The axis-aligned box a soup fills. - `min: V3` — The smallest x, y and z of any vertex. - `max: V3` — The largest x, y and z of any vertex. ### `SurfacePoint` ```ts interface SurfacePoint ``` A point on a surface, and which way the surface faces there. - `pos: V3` — The point on the surface, in the soup's own units. - `normal: V3` — The unit direction the surface faces there. ### `SurfaceRegion` ```ts type SurfaceRegion = 'all' | 'top' | 'side' | 'bottom' | { from: number; to: number } ``` Which part of a surface: everything, the parts facing up, sideways or down, or a band of its height (0…1). ### `SweepOptions` ```ts interface SweepOptions extends FormDetail ``` How a shape is swept along a path. - `radius: number | ReadonlyArray` — Radius (the caller's units): one value, or one per control point, eased between them. - `section?: SweepSection | undefined` — Round (default), a number of flat sides, a star, or a closed outline of `[x, z]` points. - `squash?: [number, number] | undefined` — The section's scale across `[normal, binormal]`: an oval. - `caps?: 'round' | 'flat' | 'point' | 'none' | undefined` — How the ends finish: `round` (default), `flat`, `point`, or `none` (open). - `closed?: boolean | undefined` — The path loops back to its start (no caps). - `twist?: number | undefined` — Degrees the section turns from start to end. - `beads?: { count: number; depth: number } | undefined` — The radius swells and narrows along the path: `count` beads, `depth` 0…1 how much it narrows between them. - `corners?: ReadonlyArray | undefined` — Which control points are corners. ### `SweepSection` ```ts type SweepSection = 'round' | number | { star: number; depth: number } | { outline: ReadonlyArray<[number, number]> } ``` A sweep's cross-section. ### `Transform` ```ts interface Transform ``` Placement of one solid before it joins the shared CSG space. `scale` is uniform or per-axis; rotation follows the shader's roll·pitch·yaw order. - `pos?: [number, number, number]` — The translation, in world units.

Every tool there is registered with Web MCP (`document.modelContext`, with `window.phaserDesk` for browsers without it), so an agent in the user's browser can call the tools directly once the user is signed in. Tools that make something spend the user's credits. - **The CLI** (https://phaser.io/cli): `npx -y @phaser-ae/cli` builds the game on the user's own machine with their own coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others). In a game's folder every command is an npm script. - **Expansion packs** (https://phaser.io/packs): 358 packs in 20 families (163 free, 195 Pro) that every game is built from, on the Phaser AE kernel (https://phaser.io/kernel). - **Credits** (https://phaser.io/credits): what the desk's tools spend. Bought in packs, with no plan needed. - **Pro** (https://phaser.io/pricing): $20 a month for every pack, 8,000 credits a month, new packs early, and bonus credits every time the user tops up (only Pro subscribers get them). Nobody needs a plan to start: credits can be bought as they're needed. Or Pro for 30 days for 8,000 credits, without subscribing. Teams, for studios, is on its way: https://phaser.io/contact?about=teams. - **An account**: sign in with Google, GitHub or Microsoft at https://phaser.io/login. Games made on any plan can be published and sold. Read any page of this site as Markdown by adding `.md` to its URL (the home page is https://phaser.io/index.md), or by asking for `text/markdown`. The index for agents is https://phaser.io/llms.txt. On the site's pages, the browser's Web MCP also offers `phaser_ae_guide`, `read_page_as_markdown` and `open_phaser_ae`.
