Device Orientation Debug +```typescript +console.log('Orientation:', { + gamma: inputGetAxis('deviceOrientationGamma'), + beta: inputGetAxis('deviceOrientationBeta') +}) +``` + +### 4. Canvas Issues +If canvas isn't rendering: +- Check that `engine.canvas` is set correctly +- Verify Three.js renderer is using the same canvas +- Ensure `setThreeRenderer(THREE)` is called + +### 5. Performance Issues +- Check for double rendering (Three.js + LittleJS) +- Verify only one render loop is running +- Use Chrome DevTools to profile + +--- + +## Common Pitfalls + +### 1. Input Names Don't Match +LittleJS uses specific key names. Check the [LittleJS Input Documentation](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/REFERENCE.md#input). + +**Solution**: Use the exact key names LittleJS expects: +- `arrowLeft`, `arrowRight`, `arrowUp`, `arrowDown` +- `a`, `d`, `w`, `s` +- `m`, `r` + +### 2. Canvas Not Found +**Solution**: Ensure the canvas element exists before initialization: +```typescript +const canvas = document.getElementById('scene') +if (!canvas) { + console.error('Canvas not found!') + return +} +``` + +### 3. THREE Not Available +**Solution**: Make THREE globally available: +```typescript +(window as any).THREE = THREE +``` + +### 4. Audio Context Issues +**Solution**: Audio must be triggered by user interaction. Use any input to start it: +```typescript +if (anyInputDetected) { + if (audio.state === 'suspended') { + audio.resume() + } +} +``` + +### 5. Mobile Input Not Working +**Solution**: +- Check for touch event handling +- Ensure canvas has proper touch action settings +- Test on actual device (simulators may not work) + +--- + +## Success Criteria Checklist + +Before declaring the migration complete, verify: + +### Functionality +- [ ] All current features work exactly as before +- [ ] No features are broken or missing +- [ ] Controls feel the same or better +- [ ] Audio quality unchanged +- [ ] Visual quality unchanged + +### Performance +- [ ] Frame rate >= original implementation +- [ ] Memory usage <= original implementation +- [ ] Load time acceptable +- [ ] Works on all target devices + +### Code Quality +- [ ] Code is cleaner and more maintainable +- [ ] No unnecessary code left behind +- [ ] Documentation updated +- [ ] TypeScript types correct + +### User Experience +- [ ] No noticeable difference for users +- [ ] Mobile experience improved (if applicable) +- [ ] All input methods work +- [ ] No new bugs introduced + +--- + +## Final Notes + +This migration is **low-risk and high-reward** due to: + +1. **Three.js plugin** means rendering code stays the same +2. **Incremental approach** allows validating each step +3. **Minimal integration** provides immediate benefits +4. **Well-documented** API with good examples +5. **Active community** for support + +**Estimated time for full migration**: 17-26 days (part-time) or 8-13 days (full-time) + +**Estimated time for minimal integration**: 3-5 days (part-time) or 1-2 days (full-time) + +**Recommendation**: Start with minimal integration to gain immediate benefits, then proceed with full migration if successful. diff --git a/LITTLEJS_MIGRATION_SUMMARY.md b/LITTLEJS_MIGRATION_SUMMARY.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4510547 --- /dev/null +++ b/LITTLEJS_MIGRATION_SUMMARY.md @@ -0,0 +1,253 @@ +# LittleJS Migration Summary for Nordic Skating + +## Overview + +This document provides a comprehensive plan and proof-of-concept for migrating the Nordic Skating project from its current Three.js-based architecture to **LittleJS**, a tiny fast JavaScript game engine. + +## Key Finding: LittleJS Has Three.js Plugin + +The most important discovery is that **LittleJS includes a Three.js plugin**, which means: + +✅ **We can keep the existing Three.js rendering code** +✅ **We gain LittleJS's game loop, input, audio, and scene management** +✅ **Migration can be incremental and low-risk** +✅ **The existing procedural generation code remains unchanged** + +## Documents Created + +1. **`LITTLEJS_CONVERSION_PLAN.md`** -
