Introducing CarverJS

CarverJS is an innovative game development framework that leverages React components and WebRTC for peer-to-peer multiplayer, aiming to simplify the process of creating both 2D and 3D games. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Key Features

1. React Components for Game Logic:

   • CarverJS allows you to write game logic using React components, which means no imperative boot file or manual setup of an animation loop.
   • The <Game> component initializes the entire game stack (WebGL renderer, lighting presets, audio system, input manager, collision manager, and a game loop).
   • The <World> component groups actors and sets up default cameras for different modes. It also enables Rapier physics as a lazy-loaded peer dependency.
   • The <Actor> component is versatile, supporting 3D models (.glb/.gltf), sprites with optional grid or atlas-based animation, and code-generated primitives.

2. Mode-Aware Rendering:

   • You can switch between 2D and 3D modes by changing a single prop in the <Game> component.
   • In 2D mode (mode="2d"):
     • Uses
