Stardust Engine

An AI-native knowledge system that lets coding agents query structured codebase knowledge in milliseconds. Thousands of substring-matched triggers across a three-layer architecture: always-loaded surface hints, routing indexes, and on-demand knowledge sections.

No vector DB. No embeddings. No server. Just JSON files, substring matching, and well-authored triggers. The tool is dumb so the data can be smart.

Autonomous task pipeline that turns specs into reviewed, tested code. Each task runs through resolve, execute, review, and finalize phases in isolated git worktrees. TDD-driven implementation, automated code review with change requests, and automatic context document creation — so every completed task makes the next one smarter.

Deterministic lockstep architecture over Steam P2P networking. All simulation state flows through a MatchCommand queue — no HashMap in sim, no system time, no unseeded RNG. BTreeMap iteration, seeded RNG with sub-seeds, coordinate mirroring for perspective-invariant play.

Entity component system generated at build time from Handlebars templates. Entity graph with edges as first-class entities, O(1) bidirectional lookups, 9 topology layouts with animated transitions. A* pathfinding on hex grids.

Multi-pass HDR pipeline with 4x MSAA. Bloom compute, tone mapping, volumetric rendering, MSDF text, and a skybox cubemap — all in Rgba16Float. Dual-camera system for 3D UI layering. GPU frustum culling with CPU-precomputed 6-plane sphere tests.

Rapier-backed rigidbody physics with force-based and teleport movement modes. Acceleration-based velocity control for game entities. Waypoint pathfinding with callback-based arrival events. Three-phase game loop: Input at 240Hz, Simulation at 60Hz fixed, Render at variable rate.

Flexbox layout via Taffy with billboard raycasting for 3D-space interaction. Dual-macro menu pattern, slide animations with easing, tween system with 19 easing functions. Toast notifications, data tables with virtual scroll, and a navigation toolbar system.
