tela.js

Graphic library from scratch, with reference implementation of computer graphics algorithms.

Purpose

The propose of a graphic engine is to be able to generate images in a computational way. The engine should also be capable to create videos and interactive demos or games. In this engine I want to be able to render complex scenes with dynamic objects with realistic or cartoonish appearance.

Quick start

First you need to install [ffmpeg][ffmpeg] in your system, in a way that it is possible to write on the console:

ffmpeg -version 

# it should output something like: fmpeg version 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1...
# maybe with a different OS...

Then just install using `npm
