Phase 1: JS Prototyping Environment

• Purpose: Rapidly develop, test, visualize, and tune core simulation algorithms intended for the embedded target. Acts as a functional specification.
• Simulation: Real-time particle-based simulation including:
  • Fluid dynamics (PIC/FLIP methods)
  • Collision detection and response
  • Force fields (Turbulence, Voronoi, Gravity)
  • Noise driven effect field.
  • Boundary interactions
  • Organic behaviours (Swarm, Automata, Chain - planned/experimental)
• Rendering: WebGL2 rendering for visualization and debugging (Particles, Grid, Boundaries, Data) and use instantiation for grid rendering performance.
• Portability Focus: Core simulation logic is separated from web-specific rendering/UI components. (See memoLTM/goals.md for detailed scope).
• Input Handling:
  • Mouse interaction (simulating touch input + receive UDP)
  • External Input Integration (EMU forces via UDP)
  • Microphone input processing with a comprehensive band filtering/visualisation + parameter modulation control
  • Joystick simulating gravity (act as an abstraction and tuning for external inputs)
• UDP Communication: Sends simulation state (grid specs + cells data) to an external device (acting as a "Slave" display in Phase 1). Each cell's data in the grid conceptually represents the state for a corresponding external actuator (potential 1:1 mapping), or specific cell indices can be selected for targeted data extraction. Also sends touch and Emu data back to Js Sim.
• UI Controls: Interactive UI (lil-gui) for real-time parameter tweaking.
• Modulation: Includes a Pulse Modulator system synced on a Beat Per Minutes.
• Embedded device: Simple firmware, acting as slave, mirroring Sim's grid and sending back Touch and Emu data via UDP. Serial is used for runtime debugging.
