@aperture-engine/particles

Particle authoring contracts and domain types for the Aperture engine.

Install

pnpm add @aperture-engine/particles

This package is part of the Aperture WebGPU game engine and is normally used together with the other @aperture-engine/* packages.

What It Does

@aperture-engine/particles owns particle domain types that are safe to use in headless simulation and authoring code:

• ParticleSimulationSpace
• ParticleBlendMode
• ParticleEmitterInput
• particle effect input/asset/runtime types
• createParticleEffectAsset
• particle effect validation and runtime feature analysis

It does not own render snapshot packets, WebGPU buffers, or live GPU particle state.

Entry Points

• @aperture-engine/particles - particle authoring contracts, effect schemas, normalization, validation, and runtime feature analysis.
• @aperture-engine/particles/app - structural app feature descriptor for feature-based composition.

import { particlesFeature } from "@aperture-engine/particles/app";

export const features = [particlesFeature()];

Migration

Existing imports from @aperture-engine/render, @aperture-engine/runtime, and @aperture-engine/app/systems remain available for the current migration window. New particle-domain imports should prefer @aperture-engine/particles.
