PixiJS v8 patterns for Starwards - Containers, Sprites, Graphics, Textures, ticker integration, event handling, and testing with Playwright data-id selectors
Use this skill when handling pointer, mouse, touch, or wheel input in PixiJS v8. Covers eventMode (none, passive, auto, static, dynamic), FederatedEvent types, propagation and capture phase, hitArea, interactiveChildren, cursor and cursorStyles, global move events for drag, eventFeatures config. Triggers on: eventMode, FederatedPointerEvent, pointerdown, click, tap, globalpointermove, drag, hitArea, cursor, stopPropagation.
Use this skill first for ANY PixiJS v8 task; it routes to the right specialized skill for the job. Covers the full PixiJS surface: Application setup, the scene graph (Container, Sprite, Graphics, Text, Mesh, ParticleContainer, DOMContainer, GifSprite), rendering (WebGL/WebGPU/Canvas, render loop, custom shaders, filters, blend modes), assets, events, color, math, ticker, accessibility, performance, environments, migration from v7, and project scaffolding. Triggers on: pixi, pixi.js, pixijs, PixiJS, v8, Application, app.init, Sprite, Container, Graphics, Text, Mesh, ParticleContainer, DOMContainer, GifSprite, Assets, Ticker, renderer, WebGL, WebGPU, scene graph, filter, shader, blend mode, texture, BitmapText, create-pixi, how do I draw, how do I render, how do I animate in pixi.
Build a PixiJS v8 render layer: create the async Application, load textures with Assets, compose the scene graph with Container and Sprite, drive the ticker loop, wire pointer events, and group draws with render groups. Use when building or debugging PixiJS v8 — when the user mentions PixiJS, Pixi, Application, app.stage, Container, Sprite, Assets.load, app.ticker, or eventMode. Pins the v8 async init() API.
Use this skill when loading and managing resources in PixiJS v8. Covers Assets.init, Assets.load/add/unload, bundles, manifests, background loading, onProgress, caching, spritesheets, video textures, web fonts, bitmap fonts, animated GIFs, compressed textures, SVG as texture or Graphics, resolution detection, per-asset data options, and forcing a specific loader with the parser field (for extension-less URLs). Triggers on: Assets, Assets.load, Assets.init, loadBundle, manifest, backgroundLoad, Spritesheet, Cache, LoadOptions, unload, parser, loadParser, loadWebFont, loadBitmapFont, loadVideoTextures, GifSource, VideoSourceOptions.
Use this skill when grouping, positioning, or transforming display objects in PixiJS v8. Covers Container constructor options (isRenderGroup, sortableChildren, boundsArea), addChild/removeChild/addChildAt/swapChildren/setChildIndex, position/scale/rotation/pivot/skew/alpha/tint, getBounds/getGlobalPosition/toLocal/toGlobal, zIndex sorting, cullable, onRender per-frame callback, destroy. Triggers on: Container, addChild, removeChild, addChildAt, swapChildren, sortableChildren, zIndex, position, scale, rotation, pivot, getBounds, toGlobal, toLocal, onRender, destroy, constructor options, ContainerOptions.
Use this skill when creating, converting, or manipulating colors in PixiJS v8. Covers Color class input formats (hex, CSS names, RGB/HSL objects, arrays, Uint8Array), conversion methods (toHex, toNumber, toArray, toRgba), component access, setAlpha/multiply/premultiply, Color.shared singleton. Triggers on: Color, ColorSource, hex, rgb, hsl, tint, premultiply, Color.shared, color conversion.
Use this skill when scaffolding a new PixiJS v8 project with the create-pixi CLI or adding PixiJS to an existing project. Covers npm/yarn/pnpm/bun create commands, interactive vs non-interactive flows, bundler vs creation template categories, available template presets (bundler-vite, bundler-webpack, bundler-esbuild, bundler-import-map, creation-web, framework-react, extension-default), Node version requirements, `npm install pixi.js` for existing projects, post-scaffold dev flow, and the Vite top-level-await production-build gotcha. Triggers on: create pixi.js, npm create, npm install pixi.js, scaffold, template, bundler-vite, bundler-webpack, creation-web, framework-react, new project, existing project, getting started, quick start.
Use this skill when creating and configuring a PixiJS v8 Application. Covers new Application() + async app.init() options (width, height, background, antialias, resolution, autoDensity, preference, resizeTo, autoStart, sharedTicker, canvas, useBackBuffer, powerPreference, eventFeatures, accessibilityOptions, gcActive, bezierSmoothness, webgl/webgpu/canvasOptions per-renderer overrides), app.stage/renderer/canvas/screen/domContainerRoot access, ResizePlugin, TickerPlugin, CullerPlugin (cullable, cullArea), custom ApplicationPlugin creation via ExtensionType.Application, start/stop lifecycle, and app.destroy() with releaseGlobalResources. Triggers on: Application, app.init, app.stage, app.renderer, app.canvas, app.screen, app.domContainerRoot, ApplicationOptions, ApplicationPlugin, ExtensionType.Application, resizeTo, preference, autoStart, sharedTicker, useBackBuffer, powerPreference, skipExtensionImports, preferWebGLVersion, preserveDrawingBuffer, cullable, CullerPlugin, app.start, app.stop, app.destroy, releaseGlobalResources.
Use this skill when understanding how PixiJS v8 renders frames: the systems-and-pipes renderer, the render loop, and how the library adapts to different environments. Covers WebGLRenderer/WebGPURenderer/CanvasRenderer selection, renderer.render() pipeline, environment detection, and pointers to per-topic deep dives. Triggers on: renderer, WebGL, WebGPU, Canvas, render loop, render pipeline, systems, environments, autoDetectRenderer.
Fast, lightweight 2D rendering engine for creating interactive graphics, particle effects, and canvas-based applications using WebGL/WebGPU. Use this skill when building 2D games, particle systems, interactive canvases, sprite animations, or UI overlays on 3D scenes. Triggers on tasks involving PixiJS, 2D rendering, sprite sheets, particle effects, filters, or high-performance canvas graphics. Alternative to Canvas2D with WebGL acceleration for rendering thousands of sprites at 60 FPS.
Use this skill when running per-frame logic or controlling the PixiJS v8 render loop. Covers Ticker.add/addOnce/remove, deltaTime vs deltaMS vs elapsedMS, UPDATE_PRIORITY ordering, maxFPS/minFPS capping, speed scaling, Ticker.shared vs new instances, per-object onRender hook, manual rendering. Triggers on: Ticker, UPDATE_PRIORITY, deltaTime, deltaMS, elapsedMS, onRender, app.ticker, maxFPS, minFPS, Ticker.shared.
