🎮 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
• Node.js (for development tools)
• Text editor or IDE

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/tpt-gameforge.git
cd tpt-gameforge

2. Install dependencies (if using development tools)

npm install

3. Start development server

npm run dev

4. Open in browser Navigate to http://localhost:8000/showcase.html

Basic Usage

// Import the engine
import { Engine } from './src/engine.js';

// Initialize engine
const canvas = document.getElementById('game-canvas');
const engine = new Engine();
await engine.init(canvas);

// Create a simple scene
const cube = engine.scene.createCube(1.0, {x: 0, y: 0, z: -5});
const sphere = engine.scene.createSphere(0.8, 16, {x: 2, y: 0, z: -5});

// Add materials
cube.material = new PBRMaterial({
  albedo: [0.8, 0.2, 0.2],
  metallic: 0.1,
  roughness: 0.3
});

sphere.material = new PBRMaterial({
  albedo: [0.2, 0.8, 0.2],
  metallic: 0.8,
  roughness: 0.1
});

// Add lighting
const light = new DirectionalLight({
  direction: [-0.5, -1.0, -0.5],
  intensity: 1.0,
  color: [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]
});
engine.scene.addLight(light);

// Start the engine
engine.start();
