Polylog Video Template

Run ./setup.sh to set up the project. This script will:

• Install Motion Canvas from source (needed because audio support is not yet in the npm package)
• Install other npm packages
• Set up pre-commit hooks in a Python virtual environment

After setup is complete, run npm run start to start the preview server. It'll be available on http://localhost:9000/.

Working with LLMs

When using LLMs for Motion Canvas development, using repomix to provide context on Motion Canvas, as well as the typical way we write animations, is useful. You can use this repository, as well as the more general https://github.com/xiaoxiae/motion-canvas-examples/.

You likely want to run something like repomix --include "**/*.tsx,**/*.glsl" so only animation/shader files are packed.

Unit Distance / Erdos Problem Scenes

The active video scenes copied from the old Desktop workspace are in src/scenes/, with shared helpers in src/lib/ and assets in public/reference/. The current project order is defined in src/project.ts.

Useful commands:

npm run dev
npx tsc --noEmit
npm run build
npm run export-scenes -- --scenes gridPythagoreanDistances,primeProductSweep --fps 20 --scale 0.5 --quality 70 --run medium-quality-pythagorean-scenes

Codex collaboration and visual-check preferences are in AGENTS.md. The previous project README was copied to docs/unit-distance-motion-canvas-readme.md. Existing rendered MP4s were copied to exports/.
