| Name | Brief | Kernels | Functions |
|---|---|---|---|
animation |
A skeleton, the clips that pose it and the mesh that follows: sampling and blending clips, walking, aiming, and skinning by the joint palette. | 10 | 4 |
audio |
Sound’s atoms, a block of stereo samples a frame: the clock, the cues a program’s events set going, noise, a tone and an envelope, and the filters and delay lines that shape them. | 7 | 35 |
controls |
What a person’s hands do, read for a program, and the one package that reads them: a game’s actions from the keyboard, the mouse and a pad alike, from a table of actions (held, pressed and released, the ways to move and look, the stick’s flicks); the pointer (where, its buttons, the wheel); and what was typed. | 5 | 15 |
geometry |
Rotations as quaternions and rigid transforms as matrices; a camera’s matrices and the ways between the world, clip space and the picture; curves through control points; signed distances to shapes, with the ways they are joined; and the ways space is bent before a distance is measured. | 0 | 70 |
image |
What Entelechy does to a picture, knowing nothing of the world it shows: color spaces, blending and masks, two pictures compared, filters, tone and its curves, scaling and sharpening, antialiasing within a frame, histograms, distance fields, mipmaps, pixel art and sprite sheets. Each is a word a kernel calls on a pixel, its kernel a thin pass. | 39 | 52 |
mesh |
Triangle meshes as two rows, points and faces: lattices that make the torus, the sphere and the plane, midpoint subdivision, and the surface where a field sampled on a lattice crosses a level. The faces are the raster package’s, so a mesh projected point by point is drawn as it is. | 11 | 13 |
music |
Music’s words, not a program’s music: scales and chords (the modes and the semitones of their degrees, a note’s pitch, the chords stacked on a degree), an instrument’s note (an Instrument row: how it sounds, its envelope, its vibrato, its chorus). A program makes its songs, tunes and palette of instruments of them (the study’s game_music is one). |
0 | 27 |
navigation |
Ways over a grid: how far each cell is from a seed by what each costs to enter, relaxed a pass at a time, and the step a walk takes toward it. | 1 | 6 |
parallel |
The data-parallel algorithms other packages build on: a stable sort of integer keys, the compaction of flagged rows, runs of entries laid out by owner, and the connected components of nodes joined by edges. | 16 | 2 |
physics |
Rigid circles and boxes in the plane that fall, collide, rest, slide and bounce: pairs found through a grid, manifolds solved all at once over substeps. | 23 | 42 |
random |
Randomness a Kernel can repeat: hashes of whole numbers, the same bits on every backend, the value, gradient, fractal, cellular and curl noise built on them, normal draws, and points spread evenly over a disc. | 0 | 24 |
raster |
Triangles turned into the surface a camera sees, drawn alike on every backend: plain, tiled and through a cutout mask; and translucent triangles over it, in any order. native.rasterize, and native.cover for the keys alone, are its fast paths. |
17 | 19 |
signal |
Fast Fourier transforms of complex numbers in rows 1 << bits long (at most 256), each row a group of lanes running every round of butterflies in place: rows laid end to end, each transformed alone (blocks of a sound, lines of a picture), or a cube 1 << bits a side, x fastest, one axis a pass. The inverse divides by the row’s length, so one undoes the other. |
4 | 5 |
terrain |
Ground as heights on a grid of cells: read back as a smooth surface, its normal, where a ray first meets it (crossing blocks it passes over) and how open the sky is over it; worn down by erosion, and laid out as a mesh. | 3 | 7 |
text |
Text: glyph rows laid out and drawn from a program’s font atlas, text decoded into rows of letters, the wide glyphs a project’s words use drawn into an atlas, numbers written with their decimals, a template’s holes filled with numbers, and text written to a file through an output to files. |
20 | 26 |
texture |
What a surface is drawn with, point by point as a shader asks: patterns, the ways a pattern is laid on a surface, layers and normals. Each is a function a scene’s own material calls where it shades a point (a G-buffer kernel, a distance field’s march, a mesh’s pixels), so a material is these words composed, not a feature of the renderer. | 0 | 21 |
ui |
A screen drawn per pixel: rectangles laid out, shapes painted, text written, and navigation through a list by the hands controls reads. What a program’s widgets look like is its own. |
3 | 63 |
vector |
Drawings filled pixel by pixel: the shapes entelechy import reads from SVG, their fill rules, paints and gradients, drawn whole or tiled. |
15 | 23 |
voxel |
Worlds of voxels drawn by walking rays through them: boxes of voxels placed in the world, a place shaded from the sun, shapes as data, and bodies posed by their joints. | 4 | 21 |
