Components

1. Runtime Registry

Location: packages/core/src/runtime/RuntimeRegistry.ts

Central registry for discovering and executing HoloScript runtimes.

import { RuntimeRegistry } from '@holoscript/core/runtime';

// Check registered runtimes
const stats = RuntimeRegistry.getStatistics();
console.log(`Total runtimes: ${stats.totalRuntimes}`);

// Find runtimes by capability
const physicsRuntimes = RuntimeRegistry.findByCapability('physics');

// Execute composition
const executor = RuntimeRegistry.execute(composition);
executor.start();

Features:

• ✅ Runtime registration and discovery
• ✅ Capability-based querying
• ✅ Tag-based filtering
• ✅ Automatic composition routing
• ✅ Statistics and monitoring

2. Runtime Modules

Each demo is now a registered runtime module consumed by Hololand.

Demolition Runtime

Location: packages/core/src/demos/demolition/demolition-runtime.ts

import { DemolitionRuntime } from '@holoscript/core/demos/demolition';

// Runtime is auto-registered on import
RuntimeRegistry.register(DemolitionRuntime);

Capabilities:

• Physics: Gravity, collision, constraints
• Rendering: 120K particles, post-processing
• Interaction: User input
• Platforms: Unity, Unreal, WebXR, Godot, etc.

Future Runtimes

• Avalanche Runtime - Snow/terrain physics
• Erosion Runtime - Fluid dynamics, terrain erosion
• Cloth Runtime - Soft body simulation
• Fire Runtime - Combustion and gas dynamics
• Ocean Runtime - FFT-based wave simulation

3. Runtime Executor Interface

All runtimes implement the standardized RuntimeExecutor interface:

interface RuntimeExecutor {
  start(): void; // Start execution
  stop(): void; // Stop execution
  pause(): void; // Pause
  resume(): void; // Resume
  update(dt: number): void; // Update per frame
  getStatistics(): any; // Get stats
  getState(): any; // Get state
  reset(): void; // Reset
}

This ensures consistent behavior across all runtimes.

4. Integration Points

Runtimes now consume HoloScript core systems:

Parser Integration

import { parseHoloScript } from '@holoscript/core/parser';

const composition = parseHoloScript(holoSource);
const executor = RuntimeRegistry.execute(composition);

Trait System Integration (Future)

import { registerTrait } from '@holoscript/core/parser/traits';

// Register demolition-specific traits
registerTrait(new DemolitionTrait());
registerTrait(new ExplosionTrait());
registerTrait(new StructuralTrait());

Compiler Integration (Future)

import { compileToUnity } from '@holoscript/core/compiler';

// Generate Unity code from composition
const unityCode = compileToUnity(composition, {
  runtime: 'demolition',
  version: '2022.3',
});

Usage Examples

Basic Example

import { RuntimeRegistry } from '@holoscript/core/runtime';
import '@holoscript/core/demos/demolition'; // Auto-registers

// Parse HoloScript
const composition = parseHoloScript(`
  composition ExplosiveDemolition {
    scene {
      physics { gravity: [0, -9.8, 0] }
      entity Building { type: "structure", floors: 3 }
      behavior Explosion { trigger: "click", force: 3000 }
    }
  }
`);

// Execute via registry
const executor = RuntimeRegistry.execute(composition);
executor.start();

// Get statistics
const stats = executor.getStatistics();
console.log(`Fragments: ${stats.scene.totalFragments}`);

Query Runtimes

// Find all runtimes with physics
const physicsRuntimes = RuntimeRegistry.findByCapability('physics');

// Find destruction runtimes
const destructionRuntimes = RuntimeRegistry.findByTag('destruction');

// Get specific runtime
const demolition = RuntimeRegistry.get('demolition');
console.log(demolition.capabilities);

Direct Runtime Access

import { DemolitionRuntime } from '@holoscript/core/demos/demolition';

const executor = DemolitionRuntime.initialize(composition, {
  debug: true,
  targetFPS: 60,
});

executor.start();

Registered Runtimes

Runtime	ID	Version	Capabilities	Status
Demolition	demolition	1.0.0	Physics, Particles, Structural	✅ Complete
Avalanche	avalanche	1.0.0	Particles, Terrain	🚧 Pending
Erosion	erosion	1.0.0	Fluids, Terrain	🚧 Pending

Runtime Statistics

Demolition Runtime:

• Implementation: 4,698 lines
• Tests: 5,923 lines
• Test coverage: 430 tests passing
• Max particles: 120,000
• Max fragments: 10,000
• Target FPS: 60

Benefits

For Developers

• ✅ Consistent API - All runtimes use same interface
• ✅ Discovery - Query runtimes by capability/tag
• ✅ Type safety - Full TypeScript support
• ✅ Testing - Isolated runtime testing

For Hololand

• ✅ Dynamic loading - Discover runtimes at runtime
• ✅ Capability matching - Route compositions to appropriate runtime
• ✅ Monitoring - Track runtime statistics
• ✅ Extensibility - Easy to add new runtimes

For Users

• ✅ Write once - HoloScript works across all runtimes
• ✅ Predictable - Consistent behavior everywhere
• ✅ Discoverable - Easy to find what runtimes can do
• ✅ Portable - Same .holo file runs on all platforms

Rendering Integration (NEW! ✨)

RuntimeRenderer System

HoloScript now has complete runtime rendering using Three.js!

Files:

• RuntimeRenderer.ts - Abstract renderer interface (281 lines)
• ThreeJSRenderer.ts - Three.js implementation (679 lines)
• rendering-demo.html - Standalone browser demo

Features:

• ✅ R3F Material Presets - 80+ materials extracted from R3FCompiler
• ✅ PBR Rendering - Full physically-based rendering
• ✅ Particle Systems - 120K+ particles with real-time updates
• ✅ Lighting & Shadows - 5 light types with PCF soft shadows
• ✅ Camera Control - Position, target, FOV
• ✅ Statistics - FPS, draw calls, triangles, memory usage

Usage:

import { ThreeJSRenderer } from '@holoscript/core/runtime';

const renderer = new ThreeJSRenderer({
  canvas: document.getElementById('canvas'),
  shadows: true,
});

renderer.initialize(composition);
renderer.start();

See RUNTIME_RENDERING.md for complete documentation.
