SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents the common architectural decay in browser games where simulation, rendering, and UI logic become tightly coupled and unmanageable.

Core Features & Use Cases

Architectural Blueprinting: Establishes clear boundaries between simulation state and rendering logic.
Engine Selection: Provides a structured decision framework for choosing between Phaser, Three.js, React Three Fiber, or raw WebGL.
Standardization: Enforces best practices for asset manifests, input mapping, and save/debug strategies.
Use Case: Use this when starting a new browser-based project to define the core loop, camera model, and asset pipeline before writing any implementation code.

Quick Start

Use the web-game-foundations skill to define the architecture and engine strategy for a new 3D browser game project.

FAQPage Schema

How do I structure browser game code to separate simulation state from rendering?▼

To structure browser game code, decouple simulation state from rendering systems and DOM-based UI. This architectural approach establishes clear boundaries between game logic and visual output, preventing tight coupling and unmanageable codebases.

What is the best way to choose between Phaser, Three.js, and raw WebGL for game development?▼

The best way to choose between Phaser, Three.js, React Three Fiber, and raw WebGL is using a structured decision framework. Evaluate engine selection based on your specific 3D or 2D browser game requirements and performance goals.

When do I need to establish an architectural foundation for a browser-based game?▼

You need to establish an architectural foundation during early-stage browser game development. Define the core loop, camera model, and asset pipeline before writing any implementation code to prevent architectural decay.

How do I organize asset manifests and input mapping for WebGL games?▼

Organize asset manifests and input mapping by enforcing standardization best practices. This ensures performance-oriented asset management and clear separation of concerns between DOM-based UI and canvas-based playfields.

Does separating simulation and rendering logic work for both 2D and 3D browser games?▼

Separating simulation and rendering logic works for both 2D and 3D browser games. The decoupled architecture applies universally across engine choices like Phaser, Three.js, or raw WebGL to maintain modular code structure.

Why does browser game architecture decay into tightly coupled code?▼

Browser game architecture decays when simulation, rendering, and UI logic become tightly coupled. Establishing clear boundaries early and decoupling state management prevents this unmanageable tight coupling from forming.
