SWGPU is a simple 2D/3D game library written in TypeScript and powered by the latest web APIs. It offers an easy and complete way to create classic games in a non-opinionated but recommended coding style. From the start, we chose to embrace the future with a pure WebGPU implementation as the name suggests. Below the stack we've choice for this work:
| API | Domain | Description |
|---|---|---|
| WebGPU | 3D | A modern 3D graphics API designed to provide high-performance rendering and compute capabilities directly in web browsers. |
| Canvas2D | 2D | A 2D graphics API designed to provide shapes, text, and images drawing. |
| CSS3 | UI | The best way to build powerful and hightly maintenable user-interface. |
| Web Audio | Sound | An Audio API for playing sounds. |

Clone and install the starter-kit from this repository:
# git clone https://github.com/jay19240/SWGPU-StarterKit.git
# cd SWGPU-StarterKit
# npm install
# npm run dev
Edit the ''src/game_screen'' and start writing your game. Go to http://localhost:5173.
Or, just install it on your own project with the following command:
# npm install swgpu
Don't forget to fill your index.html with the minimal structure required by the engine.

Find the the exporter in bin folder of this repository.
Install it on Blender by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons -> Install... -> Select the zip.
Push "n", and click on WarmeY2K Exporter to see the exportation panel.
Please, before export check if:
- Your Blender scene is saved.
- You've set the output path in the right panel -> output -> output path.
Click on the mesh and select Export JSM.
Congratulation, your static mesh is now exported !
