Generate Art Assets

Below is a focused breakdown of **exactly which art‐ and animation‐related assets** you’ll need for:

1. **Backgrounds** (especially the Intro/Main Menu & Dojang/Training Hall),
2. **UI Icons** (stances, trigrams, HUD elements), and
3. **Technique Animations** (attack, hit, finisher sequences)

Additionally, we call out the **Pixi.js modules** (dependencies) you’ll actually use when wiring everything together in code. Think of this as a “shopping list” for your 2D combat game’s art and animation pipeline, paired with the Pixi features you’ll need to load, display, and animate them.

---

## 1. Backgrounds & Environments

### 1.1 Intro / Main Menu Background

* **Asset Name:** `intro_bg_loop.png`

  * **Description:** A seamless 1920×1080 loopable tile of a rain‐slicked concrete floor with neon pipes and drifting data‐line grid.
  * **File Format:** PNG (plus normal/roughness if you want subtle 3D lighting on flat sprites, but PNG is usually enough).
  * **Folder:** `assets/visual/bg/intro/`
  * **Visual Style Notes:**

    * Base color: Obsidian (`#0A0F12`) with subtle film‐grain overlay.
    * Neon accents: teal/cyan reflections on puddles, flickering Hangul glyphs on pipes.
    * Animation: small “rain drip” loop in shader or flipbook.

* **Asset Name:** `mainmenu_foreground_overlay.png`

  * **Description:** A semi‐transparent obsidian vignette (20px “soft edge”) to darken screen edges, helping text/logo pop.
  * **File Format:** PNG (alpha)
  * **Folder:** `assets/visual/overlays/`
  * **Usage:** Placed above `intro_bg_loop` to darken corners.

### 1.2 Dojang / Training Hall Background

* **Asset Name:** `dojang_floor_tex.png`

  * **Description:** 2048×2048 PBR‐style image of matte‐black tatami mats, with subtle water puddle normals (if you want dynamic reflections).
  * **File Format:** PNG (or PNG + normal/roughness if desired)
  * **Folder:** `assets/visual/bg/dojang/`
  * **Style Notes:**

    * Tileable so it can fill any resolution.
    * Slight neon cyan reflections at edges where wall meets floor.

* **Asset Name:** `dojang_wall_tex.png`

  * **Description:** 1024×1024 tile of corrugated metal with pipelines and emissive Hangul trigrams (☰, ☲, etc.) behind semi‐opaque panels.
  * **File Format:** PNG (with separate emissive mask channel if you plan to animate neon flicker).
  * **Folder:** `assets/visual/bg/dojang/`
  * **Style Notes:**

    * The emissive mask will let you “pulse” each trigram glyph via a simple shader or a flicker sprite.

* **Asset Name:** `dojang_wall_neon_flicker.png` (optional flipbook)

  * **Description:** A small flipbook (e.g. 4 frames at 256×256) showing a neon glyph flicker (cycle through 0%, 50%, 100% brightness).
  * **File Format:** PNG sprite sheet
  * **Folder:** `assets/vfx/animations/`

* **Asset Name:** `training_console_model.png`

  * **Description:** 512×512 stylized grayscale sprite of a holo‐console (flat sprite) with cyan emissive accents (for real‐time data display).
  * **File Format:** PNG
  * **Folder:** `assets/visual/props/`
  * **Notes:** Use this as a static background element; you can overlay bitmaps of gauge bars, or simply let the console glow.

* **Asset Name:** `stance_pad_circle.png`

  * **Description:** 256×256 semi‐transparent PNG of a glowing floor circle. Pulses from 0 → 100% opacity in a 1s loop.
  * **File Format:** PNG (alpha)
  * **Folder:** `assets/visual/props/`

## 2. UI Icons & HUD Elements

### 2.1 Stance Icons

Each icon is a 64×64 px SVG (so it scales crisply). We’ll load them as textures in Pixi and tint/animate as needed.

1. **`icon_stance_defensive.svg`**

   * Outline style in Slate Gray (`#2E3538`) when inactive.
   * Filled with Teal Neon (`#00FFC8`) + soft glow when active.

2. **`icon_stance_balanced.svg`**

   * Outline in Slate Gray; filled with Teal Neon on hover/active.

3. **`icon_stance_aggressive.svg`**

   * Outline in Slate Gray; filled with Crimson (`#FF0044`) on “charged” or “ready” state, or Teal Neon when selected.

   **Folder:** `assets/ui/icons/stances/`

### 2.2 Trigram Icons

* **File Names:**

  ```
  icon_trigram_1.svg  
  icon_trigram_2.svg  
  …  
  icon_trigram_8.svg  
  ```
* **Each icon:** 48×48 px, dark background (Gunmetal `#424A50`) with the trigram glyph in Teal Neon.
* **States:**

  * Inactive: no glow, just basic fill.
  * Active: slight outer glow + subtle 1.1× scale “pulse.”
  * Hover: 1.05× scale + quick glow (0.2 s).

  **Folder:** `assets/ui/icons/trigrams/`

### 2.3 HUD Bars & Overlays

* **`hud_health_bar.png`** (800×32 px PNG)

  * 10 segmented blocks. Each filled segment is Cyan Glow (`#1BE7FF`); empty is Slate Gray.
  * **Folder:** `assets/ui/hud/`

* **`hud_pain_bar.png`** (800×16 px PNG)

  * 10 segments. Filled segments are Crimson (`#FF0044`); empty Slate Gray.
  * **Folder:** `assets/ui/hud/`

## 3. Technique Animations (AnimatedSprite Sprite Sheets)

Any time you see code like:

```js
await Assets.load('path/to/spritesheet.json');
const frames = [];
for (let i = 0; i < N; i++) {
  frames.push(Texture.from(`frame${i}.png`));
}
const anim = new AnimatedSprite(frames);
```

…you need a **sprite sheet JSON** + **corresponding PNG atlas** for each “technique.” Below is a minimal required set of technique animations:

### 3.1 Light Strike Animation (All Archetypes)

## 4. Pixi.js Dependencies & Modules Needed

Below is a minimal list of **Pixi.js modules** (from `pixi.js/lib`) that you will rely on to load, animate, and render everything above. In your `package.json`, you’ve already installed `pixi.js`. At runtime, you’ll import exactly the pieces you use:

```ts
import {
  Application,
  TickerPlugin,           // core ticker
  ResizePlugin,           // auto resizes to window
  Assets,                 // for loading JSON/PNG atlases
  Texture,
  Sprite,
  AnimatedSprite,
  Container,
  TilingSprite,           // if you want parallax/tiled backgrounds
  Loader,                 // older API if you prefer Loader instead of Assets
} from 'pixi.js';
```

* **`Application`** (from `app/Application.mjs`)

  * Creates the Pixi canvas, WebGL context, stage, etc.

* **`TickerPlugin`** & **`ResizePlugin`**

  * Ensures your app’s ticker (main game loop) and auto-resize functionality.

* **`Assets`** (from `assets/Assets.mjs`)

  * The new recommended loader for JSON sprite sheets, PNGs, audio, etc.
  * Example:

    ```ts
    await Assets.load('assets/characters/animations/techniques/light/strike_light_spritesheet.json');
    ```

* **`Texture`** (from `rendering/texture/Texture.mjs`)

  * Create textures from loaded assets:

    ```ts
    const frameTex = Texture.from('strike_light_000.png');
    ```

* **`Sprite`** & **`AnimatedSprite`** (from `scene/sprite/Sprite.mjs` & `scene/sprite-animated/AnimatedSprite.mjs`)

  * `Sprite` for static images (UI icons, backgrounds).
  * `AnimatedSprite` for flipbook animations (techniques, VFX).

* **`Container`** (from `scene/container/Container.mjs`)

  * Use a parent `Container` for grouping layers:

    * `backgroundContainer`
    * `characterContainer`
    * `uiContainer`
    * `vfxContainer`

* **`TilingSprite`** (from `scene/sprite-tiling/TilingSprite.mjs`)

  * If you want to scroll/loop the `intro_bg_loop.png` or tile `dojang_floor_tex.png` seamlessly across a larger stage.

* **`Loader`** (from `assets/loader/Loader.mjs`)

  * If you prefer the older PIXI.Loader API to Assets. Both are possible; `Assets` is recommended for newer Pixi versions.

* **`Filter`** / **`BlurFilter`** / **`DisplacementFilter`** (from `filters/defaults/*`)

  * Useful for adding real-time blur afterimages (for `dodge`), screen shakes, or ripples when powering up Ki (`ki_charge`).

### 5.1 “What do I need to write in code?”

When you actually initialize Pixi in your game, you’ll do something like:

```ts
import {
  Application,
  Assets,
  Texture,
  Sprite,
  AnimatedSprite,
  TilingSprite,
  Container,
  Filter,
} from 'pixi.js';

(async () => {
  // 1) Create the Pixi Application
  const app = new Application({
    backgroundColor: 0x0a0f12,      // Obsidian
    resizeTo: window,
  });

  document.body.appendChild(app.view);

  // 2) Preload Backgrounds & UI
  await Assets.load({
    introBg: 'assets/visual/bg/intro/intro_bg_loop.png',
    introOverlay: 'assets/visual/overlays/mainmenu_foreground_overlay.png',
    dojangFloor: 'assets/visual/bg/dojang/dojang_floor_tex.png',
    dojangWall: 'assets/visual/bg/dojang/dojang_wall_tex.png',
    stanceDef: 'assets/ui/icons/stances/icon_stance_defensive.svg',
    stanceBal: 'assets/ui/icons/stances/icon_stance_balanced.svg',
    stanceAgg: 'assets/ui/icons/stances/icon_stance_aggressive.svg',
    trigram1: 'assets/ui/icons/trigrams/icon_trigram_1.svg',
    // … all UI icons …
    hudHealth: 'assets/ui/hud/hud_health_bar.png',
    hudPain: 'assets/ui/hud/hud_pain_bar.png',
    buttonStartIdle: 'assets/ui/buttons/ui_button_start_idle.png',
    buttonStartHover: 'assets/ui/buttons/ui_button_start_hover.png',
  });

  // 3) Display Intro Background
  const introBgSprite = new TilingSprite(
    Texture.from('introBg'),
    app.screen.width,
    app.screen.height,
  );
  app.stage.addChild(introBgSprite);

  const overlaySprite = new Sprite(Texture.from('introOverlay'));
  overlaySprite.width = app.screen.width;
  overlaySprite.height = app.screen.height;
  app.stage.addChild(overlaySprite);

  // 4) Build UI Container
  const uiContainer = new Container();
  app.stage.addChild(uiContainer);

  // Logo (e.g., a centered Sprite)
  const logo = new Sprite(Texture.from('mainLogo')); // If you have `mainLogo.png` loaded
  logo.anchor.set(0.5);
  logo.x = app.screen.width / 2;
  logo.y = app.screen.height * 0.2;
  uiContainer.addChild(logo);

  // “Start Combat” button
  const startBtn = new Sprite(Texture.from('buttonStartIdle'));
  startBtn.interactive = true;
  startBtn.buttonMode = true;
  startBtn.anchor.set(0.5);
  startBtn.x = app.screen.width / 2;
  startBtn.y = app.screen.height * 0.5;
  startBtn.on('pointerover', () => {
    startBtn.texture = Texture.from('buttonStartHover');
    // Play hover SFX:
    AudioManager.playSFX('menu_hover');
  });
  startBtn.on('pointerout', () => {
    startBtn.texture = Texture.from('buttonStartIdle');
  });
  startBtn.on('pointerdown', () => {
    AudioManager.playSFX('menu_click');
    // … transition to Game/Dojo …
  });
  uiContainer.addChild(startBtn);

  // 5) When switching to Dojang/Training Hall:
  // Remove intro sprites, then:
  // Background layer:
  const floor = new TilingSprite(
    Texture.from('dojangFloor'),
    app.screen.width,
    app.screen.height
  );
  const wall = new TilingSprite(
    Texture.from('dojangWall'),
    app.screen.width,
    app.screen.height
  );
  app.stage.removeChild(introBgSprite, overlaySprite, uiContainer);
  app.stage.addChild(floor, wall);

  // 6) Show Stance Icons (top-left)
  const stanceIconsContainer = new Container();
  stanceIconsContainer.x = 32;

  // 7) Technique Animations (illustrative)
  //   - Preload a “light strike” atlas:
  await Assets.load(
    'assets/characters/animations/techniques/light/strike_light_spritesheet.json'
  );

  //   - Create an AnimatedSprite when the player actually attacks:
  function playLightStrike(x: number, y: number) {
    // Build frame array from loaded atlas
    const lightFrames: Texture[] = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
      const frameName = `strike_light_${i.toString().padStart(3, '0')}.png`;
      lightFrames.push(Texture.from(frameName));
    }
    const anim = new AnimatedSprite(lightFrames);
    anim.anchor.set(0.5);
    anim.x = x;
    anim.y = y;
    anim.animationSpeed = 0.6;
    anim.loop = false;
    anim.onComplete = () => {
      app.stage.removeChild(anim);
    };

    //  - Before playing, play corresponding SFX and VFX:
    AudioManager.playAttackSound(10);         // picks `attack_punch_light.webm`
    // spawn VFX sprite at (x,y):
    const dust = new AnimatedSprite([
      Texture.from('vfx_dust_puff_00.png'),
      Texture.from('vfx_dust_puff_01.png'),
      // … etc up to 7 frames …
    ]);
    dust.anchor.set(0.5);
    dust.x = x;
    dust.y = y + 16; // slightly below impact
    dust.animationSpeed = 0.8;
    dust.loop = false;
    dust.onComplete = () => app.stage.removeChild(dust);
    app.stage.addChild(dust);

    app.stage.addChild(anim);
    anim.play();
  }

  // 8) Use Ticker to update any per‐frame logic (e.g. background parallax):
  app.ticker.add((delta) => {
    // subtle floor scroll:
    floor.tilePosition.x -= 0.5 * delta;
    wall.tilePosition.x += 0.2 * delta;
  });
})();
```

> **Comments on the above code snippet:**
>
> 1. **Loading Backgrounds, UI, & Animations** uses `Assets.load({ key: path, … })`.
> 2. **TilingSprite** is used for repeating/scrolling backgrounds (intro & dojang).
> 3. **AnimatedSprite** is used for any “technique” flipbook (light/medium/heavy strikes, VFX dust puffs, finishers, etc.).
> 4. **AudioManager** calls (`playAttackSound`, `playSFX`, etc.) correspond to exactly the SFX files we listed earlier.
> 5. **UI Interactivity** (pointer events) drives sound, tint, scale changes on icons.

## 6. Final Checklist

Before you write any more code, make sure you have:

1. **All PNG & JSON sprite sheets for each technique** (light/medium/heavy/critical/dodge/block/hit/finisher), placed exactly in:

   ```
   assets/characters/animations/techniques/{light, medium, heavy, critical, dodge, block, hit}/{…}.json + .png
   ```

2. **Intro & Dojang background PNGs** (and any tileable maps if needed), in:

   ```
   assets/visual/bg/intro/intro_bg_loop.png  
   assets/visual/bg/intro/mainmenu_foreground_overlay.png  
   assets/visual/bg/dojang/dojang_floor_tex.png  
   assets/visual/bg/dojang/dojang_wall_tex.png  
   ```

3. **UI Icons & HUD elements** (Stance icons, Trigram icons, HUD bars, Buttons, Tooltip arrow) in:

   ```
   assets/ui/icons/stances/*.svg  
   assets/ui/icons/trigrams/*.svg  
   assets/ui/hud/hud_health_bar.png  
   assets/ui/hud/hud_pain_bar.png  
   assets/ui/buttons/ui_button_start_idle.png  
   assets/ui/buttons/ui_button_start_hover.png  
   assets/ui/tooltips/tooltip_arrow.png  
   ```

4. **VFX sprite sheets** for dust puffs, blood splatter, impact rings, neon glow, critical flashes, confetti, etc.:

   ```
   assets/vfx/particles/vfx_dust_puff.png  
   assets/vfx/particles/vfx_blood_splatter.png  
   assets/vfx/particles/confetti_sprites.png  
   assets/vfx/shaders/vfx_impact_ring.png  
   assets/vfx/shaders/vfx_neon_glow.png  
   assets/vfx/shaders/vfx_critical_flash.png  
   ```

5. **Fonts & Localization JSON**:

   ```
   assets/fonts/BlackTrigram-Hangul.woff2  
   assets/fonts/NotoSansKR-Regular.woff2  
   assets/fonts/Roboto-Regular.woff2  
   assets/i18n/ko.json  
   assets/i18n/en.json  
   ```

6. **Audio Assets** (placed under `public/assets/audio/…`) exactly matching the names used in `AudioManager` calls.

7. **Pixi Dependencies** installed as part of `pixi.js` (no additional plugin installations beyond standard `pixi.js` package).
   Your imports will be roughly:

   ```ts
   import {
     Application,
     ResizePlugin,
     TickerPlugin,
     Assets,
     Texture,
     Sprite,
     AnimatedSprite,
     TilingSprite,
     Container,
     Filter,
   } from 'pixi.js';
   ```

8. **Update your Webpack/Rollup/Vite configuration** (if using bundler) to handle `.png`, `.json`, `.svg`, and `.webm` imports.

### 👉 Summary of “What You Actually Need” for the **2D Combat Game**:

* **Background PNGs** for Intro/Main Menu & Dojang (with tiling ability).
* **UI Icons** (stances, trigrams, HUD bars, buttons, tooltip arrow).
* **Animated Sprite Sheets (JSON + PNG)** for each technique category (light/medium/heavy/critical/dodge/block/hit/finisher).
* **VFX Sprite Sheets** (dust puffs, blood splatter, neon rings, critical flashes, confetti).
* **Fonts** for Korean headings + Latin/Korean UI text.
* **Localization JSONs** (ko.json, en.json).
* **Pixi.js Modules**: `Application`, `Assets`, `Texture`, `Sprite`, `AnimatedSprite`, `TilingSprite`, `Container`, `Filter` (and their core plugins, `ResizePlugin` & `TickerPlugin`).
* **Audio Files** (organized under `public/assets/audio/…`) that correspond to the SFX calls in your code.

With **exactly** the above assets in place, and the Pixi code boilerplate sketched out, you have **everything required** to run a 2D cyber-Korean combat demo with:

1. A looping intro background + main-menu UI,
2. A tiled Dojang training hall with stance icons & HUD,
3. Fully animated strike/dodge/block/hit/finisher sequences (via `AnimatedSprite`),
4. Synchronized VFX (dust puffs, impact rings, flashes) whenever a technique plays,
5. Crisp UI interaction (buttons, hover, tooltips) with matching “menu\_hover.webm” and “menu\_click.webm” SFX,
6. Real-time background scrolling via `TilingSprite` + `app.ticker` updates.

Once these assets are “checked off,” you can focus purely on **game logic** (hit detection, health/pain states, AI, input mapping) without worrying about missing art or missing Pixi features.
