Sprited Dev Log — Day 1

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.
