Performance Notes
执行注意事项
- Take your time with each step. Quality is more important than speed.
- Do not skip validation steps — they catch issues early.
- Read the full context of each file before making changes.
- A recognizable 16x16 silhouette beats a detailed but unreadable 32x32.
- 每一步都要耐心完成。质量比速度更重要。
- 不要跳过验证步骤——它们可以尽早发现问题。
- 修改前应完整阅读每个文件的上下文。
- 一个易于辨识的 16x16 轮廓胜过细节丰富但难以辨认的 32x32 图像。

Philosophy
设计理念
Procedural circles and rectangles are fast to scaffold, but players can't tell a bat from a zombie. Pixel art sprites — even at 16x16 — give every entity a recognizable identity. The key insight: pixel art IS code. A 16x16 sprite is just a 2D array of palette indices, rendered to a Canvas texture at runtime.
程序化生成的圆形和矩形可以快速搭建基础结构,但玩家无法分辨蝙蝠和僵尸。即使是 16x16 的像素艺术 sprite,也能为每个实体赋予清晰的身份。核心洞察是:像素艺术就是代码。一个 16x16 sprite 只是由调色板索引组成的 2D 数组,在运行时渲染为 Canvas 纹理。
Asset Tiers
资产层级
| Tier | Use for | Source |
|---|---|---|
| South Park characters (default for personalities) | Named people / CEO characters | Character library at |
| Real images (logos, photos) | Company logos, brand marks when game features a named company | Download to |
| Meme/reference images | Source tweet | Download to |
| Pixel art (fallback) | Non-personality characters, items, game objects, enemies | Code-only 2D arrays rendered at runtime |
South Park characters are the default for named personalities (Altman, Amodei, Musk, Zuckerberg, Nadella, Pichai, Huang, Karpathy, Trump, Biden, Obama). The character library at (relative to plugin root) contains pre-built spritesheets with multiple expressions. Each spritesheet has frames for: normal (0), happy (1), angry (2), surprised (3). Games load these as Phaser spritesheets and wire expression changes to game events.
assets/characters/Pixel art is the fallback for personality characters not yet in the library and the default for non-personality entities (enemies, items, game objects).
Real logos are preferred for brand identity. When a game features OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc., download their logo and use it.
Meme images from the source tweet ( in thread.json) should be downloaded and incorporated when they enhance visual identity.
image_urlAll tiers share the same fallback pattern: if an external asset fails to load, fall back to pixel art.
| 层级 | 适用场景 | 来源 |
|---|---|---|
| South Park 角色(具名人物的默认方案) | 具名人物、CEO 角色 | 相对于插件根目录的 |
| 真实图像(Logo、照片) | 游戏出现具名公司时的公司 Logo、品牌标识 | 下载到 |
| 梗图/参考图像 | 源推文的 | 下载到 |
| 像素艺术(回退方案) | 非人格角色、物品、游戏对象、敌人 | 纯代码 2D 数组,在运行时渲染 |
对于具名人物角色,South Park 角色是默认方案(Altman、Amodei、Musk、Zuckerberg、Nadella、Pichai、Huang、Karpathy、Trump、Biden、Obama)。相对于插件根目录的 角色库包含预构建的 spritesheet,并带有多种表情。每个 spritesheet 包含以下帧:正常(0)、开心(1)、愤怒(2)、惊讶(3)。游戏会将这些 spritesheet 作为 Phaser spritesheet 加载,并将表情变化与游戏事件绑定。
assets/characters/对于尚未加入角色库的人格角色,像素艺术是回退方案;对于非人格实体(敌人、物品、游戏对象),像素艺术则是默认方案。
对于品牌身份,真实 Logo 是首选。当游戏出现 OpenAI、Anthropic、Google 等公司时,应下载并使用其 Logo。
源推文中的梗图( 里的 )如果能强化视觉身份,就应下载并整合到游戏中。
thread.jsonimage_url所有层级都采用相同的回退模式:如果外部资产加载失败,则回退到像素艺术。

integration-patterns.mdSprite Design Rules
Sprite 设计规则
When creating pixel art sprites, follow these rules:
创建像素艺术 sprite 时,请遵循以下规则:
1. Silhouette First
1. 轮廓优先
Every sprite must be recognizable from its outline alone. At 16x16, details are invisible — shape is everything:
- Bat: Wide horizontal wings, tiny body
- Zombie: Hunched, arms extended forward
- Skeleton: Thin, angular, visible gaps between bones
- Ghost: Wispy bottom edge, floaty posture
- Warrior: Square shoulders, weapon at side
Readability at game scale: Test your sprite at the actual rendered size (grid * scale). A 12x14 sprite at 3x scale is only 36x42 pixels on screen — fine detail is lost. For items and collectibles below 16x16 grid, use bold geometric silhouettes (diamond, star, circle) rather than trying to draw realistic objects. Use a 2px outline (palette index 1) on all edges for small sprites to ensure they pop against any background. Hostile entities (skulls, bombs) should have a fundamentally different silhouette from collectibles (gems, coins) — size, shape, or aspect ratio should differ so players can distinguish them instantly even in peripheral vision.
每个 sprite 都必须仅凭轮廓就能被识别。在 16x16 尺寸下,细节几乎不可见——形状决定一切:
- 蝙蝠:横向展开的宽大翅膀、小巧的身体
- 僵尸:弯腰驼背,双臂向前伸展
- 骷髅:纤细、有棱角,骨骼之间有明显空隙
- 幽灵:底部边缘呈飘忽状,姿态轻盈
- 战士:方正的肩膀,武器位于身侧
游戏尺寸下的可读性:在 sprite 的实际渲染尺寸()下进行测试。一个 12x14 的 sprite 以 3 倍缩放渲染后,屏幕上只有 36x42 像素,细微细节会丢失。对于网格尺寸低于 16x16 的物品和收集物,应使用鲜明的几何轮廓(菱形、星形、圆形),不要尝试绘制写实物体。所有小尺寸 sprite 的边缘都应使用 2px 轮廓(调色板索引 1),确保在任何背景上都能突出显示。敌对实体(骷髅、炸弹)与收集物(宝石、金币)应具有本质不同的轮廓——其尺寸、形状或宽高比应有所区别,让玩家即使在余光中也能瞬间区分。
grid * scale2. Two-Tone Minimum
2. 至少双色调
Every sprite needs at least:
- Outline color (palette index 1) — darkest, defines the shape
- Fill color — the character's primary color
- Highlight — a lighter spot for dimensionality (usually top-left)
每个 sprite 至少需要:
- 轮廓颜色(调色板索引 1)——最深的颜色,用于定义形状
- 填充颜色——角色的主色
- 高光——用于增强立体感的较亮区域(通常位于左上方)
3. Eyes Tell the Story
3. 用眼睛讲述故事
At 16x16, eyes are often just 1-2 pixels. Make them high-contrast:
- Red eyes (index 3) = hostile enemy
- White eyes (index 8) = neutral/friendly
- Glowing eyes = magic/supernatural
在 16x16 尺寸下,眼睛通常只有 1-2 个像素。应使用高对比度:
- 红色眼睛(索引 3)= 敌对敌人
- 白色眼睛(索引 8)= 中立/友好角色
- 发光的眼睛 = 魔法/超自然角色
4. Animation Minimalism
4. 动画极简主义
At small scales, subtle changes read as smooth motion:
- Walk: Shift legs 1-2px per frame, 2-4 frames total
- Fly: Wings up/down, 2 frames
- Idle: Optional 1px bob (use Phaser tween instead of extra frame)
- Attack: Not needed at 16x16 — use screen effects (flash, shake) instead
- Never rotate small pixel sprites — rotation on sprites below 24x24 destroys the pixel grid and makes them look like blurry circles. Use vertical bobbing, scale pulses, or frame-based animation instead. Rotation only works well on sprites 32x32+.
在小尺寸下,细微变化就能呈现流畅的动作:
- 行走:每帧将腿部移动 1-2px,总计 2-4 帧
- 飞行:翅膀上下扇动,共 2 帧
- 静止:可选择 1px 的上下浮动(使用 Phaser tween,而不是增加额外帧)
- 攻击:在 16x16 下不需要——应改用屏幕特效(闪烁、震动)
- 绝不旋转小型像素 sprite——旋转低于 24x24 的 sprite 会破坏像素网格,并使其看起来像模糊的圆形。应改用垂直浮动、缩放脉冲或逐帧动画。只有 32x32 及以上的 sprite 才能很好地使用旋转。
5. Palette Discipline
5. 调色板约束
- Every sprite in the game shares the same palette
- Differentiate enemies by which palette colors they use, not by adding new colors
- Bat = purple (index 9), Zombie = green (index 10), Skeleton = white (index 8), Demon = red (index 3)
- 游戏中的每个 sprite 都共享同一套调色板
- 通过选用不同的调色板颜色区分敌人,而不是添加新颜色
- 蝙蝠 = 紫色(索引 9),僵尸 = 绿色(索引 10),骷髅 = 白色(索引 8),恶魔 = 红色(索引 3)
6. Scale Appropriately
6. 合理缩放
| Entity Size | Grid | Scale | Rendered | Screen % (540px) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny (pickups, projectiles) | 8x8 | 3 | 24x24px | 4% |
| Small (items, collectibles) | 12x12 | 3 | 36x36px | 7% |
| Medium (enemies, obstacles) | 16x16 | 3 | 48x48px | 9% |
| Large (boss, vehicle) | 24x24 or 32x32 | 3 | 72-96px | 13-18% |
| Personality (named character) | 32x48 | 4 | 128x192px | 35% |
Character-driven games (games starring named characters, personalities, or mascots): Use the Personality archetype. The main character should dominate the screen (~35% of canvas height). Use caricature proportions — large head (60%+ of sprite height) with exaggerated features, compact body — for maximum personality at any scale. Adjust and in Constants.js to match.
PLAYER.WIDTHPLAYER.HEIGHTWhen replacing geometric shapes with pixel art, match the rendered sprite size to the entity's / in Constants.js. If the Constants values are too small for the art style, increase them — the sprite and the physics body should agree.
WIDTHHEIGHT| 实体尺寸 | 网格 | 缩放 | 渲染尺寸 | 屏幕占比(540px) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 极小(拾取物、投射物) | 8x8 | 3 | 24x24px | 4% |
| 小型(物品、收集物) | 12x12 | 3 | 36x36px | 7% |
| 中型(敌人、障碍物) | 16x16 | 3 | 48x48px | 9% |
| 大型(Boss、载具) | 24x24 或 32x32 | 3 | 72-96px | 13-18% |
| 人格角色(具名角色) | 32x48 | 4 | 128x192px | 35% |
对于角色驱动型游戏(以具名人物、人格角色或吉祥物为主角的游戏),应使用 Personality 原型。主角应占据屏幕主导地位,约为画布高度的 35%。应采用夸张比例——头部占 sprite 高度的 60% 以上,并夸大特征、压缩身体——以便在任何尺寸下都充分展现角色个性。根据需要调整 中的 和 。
Constants.jsPLAYER.WIDTHPLAYER.HEIGHT将几何图形替换为像素艺术时,应使 sprite 的渲染尺寸与 中实体的 / 匹配。如果 Constants 中的数值对于当前美术风格过小,应将其增大——sprite 与物理主体必须保持一致。

Checklist
检查清单
When adding pixel art to a game, verify:
- created in
PixelRenderer.jssrc/core/ - Palette defined in — matches game's theme
src/sprites/palette.js - All entities use or
renderPixelArt()— no rawrenderSpriteSheet()leftfillCircle() - Palette index 0 is transparent in every palette
- No inline hex colors in sprite matrices — all colors come from palette
- Physics bodies adjusted for new sprite dimensions
- Animations created for entities with multiple frames
- Static entities (items, pickups) use Phaser bob tweens for life
