Deterministic 10Hz sim (power/breaker, spatial heat, uplink bandwidth, train-vs-infer economy), Pixi isometric renderer over MODELBEAST-generated room + sprites, DOM HUD with SlopTube feed, save/load, company naming, WebAudio SFX. Slop thumbnails are genuine diffusion slop; low model tiers publish deranged qwen-7B titles, training buys coherence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# GigaSlop: Compute Tycoon
|
|
|
|
Factorio meets Software Inc., wrapped in a satirical sim of the AI slop economy.
|
|
Start with a budget PC in your bedroom generating $0.40/day of AI spam videos;
|
|
end up draining the county grid to feed slop-generation clusters.
|
|
|
|
**Stack:** TypeScript + Vite + PixiJS v8. The simulation (`src/sim/`) is a
|
|
deterministic fixed-tick (10 Hz) module with zero renderer dependencies — the
|
|
Pixi layer (`src/render/`) and DOM HUD (`src/ui/`) just read state.
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev # http://localhost:5173
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Play (Tier 1 slice)
|
|
|
|
- You start with a PC, desk, and router. Press **W**, click the PC, then the
|
|
router to wire them — slop production starts.
|
|
- Watch the **breaker** (1400 W bedroom circuit): trip it and your training
|
|
checkpoint corrupts.
|
|
- Heat is spatial. Hot PCs throttle at 85°C; fans spread heat around, the
|
|
window AC deletes it.
|
|
- Uplink caps monetizable tokens — saturated cables mean dropped slop.
|
|
- The **TRAIN/INFER** slider trades cash now (inference → videos → ad revenue)
|
|
for model tiers later (higher revenue multipliers).
|
|
|
|
## Art pipeline
|
|
|
|
All art is generated on the local MODELBEAST farm (`tools/mb_gen.py`):
|
|
FLUX for the room shell + hardware sprites (bg-removed, autocropped), and the
|
|
in-game slop thumbnails are genuine SD/FLUX slop — the game about AI slop is
|
|
made of actual AI slop. Titles baked to `src/data/sloptitles.json`.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
src/sim/ balance.ts (all tunables) · catalog.ts (hardware defs)
|
|
state.ts · sim.ts (step, place/wire/sell commands)
|
|
src/render/ iso.ts (grid↔screen mapping) · scene.ts (Pixi world)
|
|
src/ui/ hud.ts + hud.css (DOM dashboards, shop, SlopTube feed)
|
|
tools/ mb_gen.py (MODELBEAST batch art generation)
|
|
```
