The example apps
Open-source apps built on Prism
The libraries are the product; the examples are complete, open-source applications built on them — the fullest documentation of the Foundation, readable end to end. Each has its own docs:
- Prism Light → — a 2-D app for generative geometry and spectral light-tracing: design with nodes, animate any property, render real light.
- Prism Pixel → — a fast, focused pixel-art editor for sprites and tiles.
- Prism Atlas → — a novel-writing app where the manuscript is one structured file a writer and an AI agent edit together.
Why these three
They are chosen to bracket the range of the Foundation, so that "general-purpose structured file" is shown, not just asserted:
- Prism Light is hierarchy, dataflow and animation — a scene as prims and connections.
- Prism Pixel is the dense end — an image as a typed value array, proving the model scales down to raw buffers.
- Prism Atlas is the narrative end — a novel's spine, prose and character graph as one Prism file, the least tabular artifact imaginable fitting cleanly.
Scene, image, narrative — three very different applications, one document model, no forking. Each is also editable by agent over the same file, because that is what the model is for.
