Download the latest build here | Get it on itch.io (early access to new features)
Open dist/index.html in a WebGPU-capable browser (Chrome / Edge / Brave / Safari 17.4+). No install required.
Windows: double-click 1-INSTALL.bat once, then 2-DEV-MODE.bat to edit, 3-MAKE-BUILD.bat to ship.
Mac: same idea, use the .command files instead.
Full plain-English instructions are in START-HERE.txt.
