Sprited Dev Log — Day 1
Bootstrapping Machi
Updated
•1 min read
Status: World engine bootstrapped.
Design Doc: https://www.sprited.app/pixel-post-design-document-machi
Today I wired up the first working prototype for Machi, a digital town inhabited by wandering pixel entities (promisers) that occasionally think or whisper to one another.
Stack in play:
🧠 AI backend toggleable between OpenAI, Ollama, and a local mock
⚙️ Core simulation loop: Rust → WASM → WebWorker
🎨 Frontend: Next.js, Pixi.js for rendering
🌐 Deployed via Vercel → machi.sprited.app
Live result:
A blank-ish slate where 20+ little dots exist. They mutter things like “Gentle whispers.” Sometimes they just think. That’s enough for Day 1.
