🚧 In Progress (Next Steps)
High Priority
Particle System Sync (90% ready)
- Issue: DemolitionDemoScene doesn't expose particle data

getParticleData()method - Impact: Real-time particle visualization
- Effort: ~50 lines
Fragment Visualization (50% ready)

- Solution: Hook fracture events →
renderer.addObject() - Impact: Real-time fracture visualization
- Effort: ~100 lines
Structural Damage Visualization (0% ready)
- Issue: Structural failures not visualized
- Solution: Expose structural elements, color-code load
- Impact: See building collapse progression
- Effort: ~150 lines
Medium Priority
Post-Processing Effects (0% ready)
- Bloom for explosions
- Motion blur for fast debris
- Depth of field for camera focus
- Effort: ~300 lines
Performance Optimization (0% ready)
- Object pooling for fragments
- Lazy sync with dirty flags
- LOD (Level of Detail) system
- Frustum culling
- Effort: ~200 lines
Camera Effects Sync (30% ready)
- Camera shake implemented in scene
- Needs sync to renderer camera
- Auto-follow implementation
- Effort: ~100 lines
Low Priority
Alternative Renderers
- Babylon.js backend (0%)
- WebGPU backend (0%)
- Headless renderer (0%)
Additional Runtimes
- Avalanche runtime (snow/terrain) - 0%
- Erosion runtime (fluids) - 0%

🎯 Capabilities
What HoloScript Can Do Now
✅ Parse .holo declarative language ✅ Validate types and traits ✅ Execute runtime platform (physics simulation) ✅ Render real-time 3D with PBR materials ✅ Export code to 25+ targets (Unity, Unreal, WebXR, etc.) ✅ Test 800+ automated tests ✅ Benchmark performance vs Unity/glTF ✅ Secure sandboxing and validation ✅ Extend via trait system and runtime registry
What HoloScript Needs
🚧 Particle visualization - Sync physics particles to renderer 🚧 Fragment visualization - Show fracture in real-time 🚧 Structural visualization - Show damage and collapse 🚧 Post-processing - Visual effects (bloom, blur, etc.) 🚧 Visual editor - Hololand integration 🚧 Asset loading - Models, textures, audio 🚧 More runtimes - Snow, fluids, cloth, fire

🔥 Quick Start
Execute .holo File (Runtime)
import { RuntimeRegistry } from '@holoscript/core/runtime';
import { ThreeJSRenderer } from '@holoscript/core/runtime';
import '@holoscript/core/demos/demolition';
// Parse composition
const composition = parseHoloScript(holoSource);
// Create renderer
const renderer = new ThreeJSRenderer({
canvas: document.getElementById('canvas'),
});
// Execute with auto-sync
const executor = RuntimeRegistry.execute(composition, {
renderer,
autoSyncRenderer: true,
});
executor.start(); // Physics + rendering!Export to Unity (Compilation)
import { compileToUnity } from '@holoscript/core/compiler';
const composition = parseHoloScript(holoSource);
const unityCode = compileToUnity(composition);
// Save to file, import into Unity
fs.writeFileSync('DemolitionScene.cs', unityCode);🎬 Demos
