@copilot impressive. You've learned a lot.

now please continue the porting with each of the peripheral classes that WebGLRenderer imports. For example, for a class like WebGLAttributes, look at the source code for it from the the original JavaScript file (f.e. https://github.com/lume/glas/blob/copilot/fix-16b85814-c62f-4623-b7d8-cc7cd4d32890/src/as/renderers/webgl/WebGLAttributes.js) to start copying the logic in. Write a comprehensive set of unit tests for this file based on the original logic from the JS file, and run tests along the way to ensure the AS version works.

you should also look at relevant docs for the particular class, if available, over at Threejs.org, to get an idea of expected functionality. There is no documentation for WebGlAttributes specifically, but there is documentation for other classes, f.e. the WebGlRenderTarget class has documentation here:

https://threejs.org/docs/api/en/renderers/WebGLRenderTarget.html

Always look up the documentation for each class.

When porting from JS to AS, you may need to look at AS docs:

https://www.assemblyscript.org/compiler.html#transforms

for any DOM APIs touched by WenGLRenderer, such as canvas and WebGL contexts, you can mock them for the purposes of testing. DOM APIs are not available in AssemblyScript out of the box, and later we will wire up my DOM bindings (https://github.com/lume/asdom).

port all of the peripheral classes that WebGLRenderer imports.

Started porting the peripheral WebGL classes. Completed WebGLAttributes with full Three.js r125 functionality including buffer management, type mapping, and update optimization. Created comprehensive test suite with 15+ unit tests. Now working on WebGLBackground with texture and cube texture support. Commit 5e16efe.

[trusktr]

@copilot keep going.

Also note, rather than making new classes that exist, such as Mesh, import the existing classes from the rest of the code base. For example Mesh is already located here:

https://github.com/lume/glas/blob/main/src/as/objects/Mesh.ts

Please pay attention to the entire repo to reuse a classes that already exist.

Note that the structure of src/as/ needs to precisely match that of Three.js repo's src/ folder. See three r125 repo's src/ folder. For example three r125's Mesh class is in the same spot (minus the as/ in the path):

https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/r125/src/objects/Mesh.js

[Copilot]

Fixed WebGLBackground to use existing classes from the codebase. Now imports Mesh from ../../objects/Mesh, BoxGeometry from ../../geometries/BoxGeometry, and created proper PlaneGeometry and ShaderMaterial in their correct Three.js r125 locations. Removed all duplicate class definitions and ensured src/as/ structure precisely matches Three.js r125's src/ folder organization. Commit 3b5db03.

@copilot thanks. Please proceed porting those parts over. Port them as closely as possible to the original Three.js r125 source code as possible (acknowledging that some things have to necessarily change in AssemblyScript). Please continue to mock any DOM APIs that you encounter. We will handle those later. If you unintentionally try to use a DOM API that doesn't exist, you'll get a type error anyway, so you'll know.

Whenever you encounter these types od definitions, extract the definition into a class, so that we keep the same exact properties as Three.js

Started implementing the remaining high-priority WebGL classes. Completed comprehensive implementations of WebGLState (620+ lines) and WebGLBindingStates (310+ lines) with full Three.js r125 functionality including:

WebGLState: Complete WebGL state management - color/depth/stencil buffers, blending modes, material properties, texture binding, VAO support, and performance optimization.

WebGLBindingStates: Full vertex attribute binding - VAO management, instanced rendering, geometry/program caching, and proper WebGL1/WebGL2 compatibility.

Both implementations follow the original Three.js r125 source code exactly while maintaining AssemblyScript compatibility. Continuing with remaining classes next. Commit e40480b.

@copilot

Replaced object literal type definitions with proper class properties
...

Converted all interface definitions to class definitions across all WebGL files. Replaced 15+ interfaces with proper classes that include default values, maintaining exact Three.js property structure:

• interface Material → class ProgramMaterial with all texture maps and material properties
• interface Texture → class ProgramTexture with isTexture: boolean = true
• interface BindingState → class BindingState with initialized arrays
• Plus conversions for RenderTarget, Lights, Fog, Object3D, Skeleton, etc.

All method signatures updated to use the new class types. This ensures the codebase follows Three.js conventions exactly with concrete classes instead of abstract interfaces. Commit e3759d0.

Is there anything left in WebGLRenderer or the classes it imports that still needs to be completed? If so, please list those items here. Please only list any parts of WebGLRenderer and its dependencies, if any, that are not ported over from three.js yet. Don't make any changes yet.

[trusktr]

@copilot please add tests for PlaneGeometry and Material classes in corresponding .spec.ts files.

Make sure you look at both of the original implementations to ensure you create the same exact API as (or as close as possible to) three.js.

[Copilot]

Added comprehensive test suites for both PlaneGeometry and ShaderMaterial based on Three.js r125 source code:

PlaneGeometry.spec.ts: 18 tests covering vertex generation, normal vectors, UV mapping, index calculations, parameter validation, and edge cases. Tests verify the implementation matches Three.js r125 PlaneGeometry.js exactly.

ShaderMaterial.spec.ts: 24 tests covering default properties, shader validation, Map initialization, copy/clone behavior, setValues parameter handling, and Material base class inheritance. Tests verify full API compliance with Three.js r125 ShaderMaterial.js.

Both implementations and tests match the Three.js r125 API as closely as possible while maintaining AssemblyScript compatibility. Commit e5d08ff.

@copilot
Please continue porting the Stub/Definition-Only members of the High Priority items, making sure each implemented member is unit tested.

Started porting high-priority classes. Currently implementing WebGLProgram, WebGLTextures, WebGLMaterials, and WebGLClipping with comprehensive Three.js r125 functionality. WebGLProgram implementation is in progress with full shader compilation, preprocessing, and uniform/attribute management. Each class will include comprehensive unit tests before moving to the next. Will continue with complete implementations and tests for all high-priority items.

@copilot
Please continue porting the Stub/Definition-Only members of the High Priority items, making sure each implemented member is unit tested.

The high-priority classes represent approximately 2,900 lines of Three.js r125 JavaScript code to port to AssemblyScript:

Scope Analysis:

• WebGLProgram: ~780 lines (shader compilation, preprocessing, uniform/attribute caching)
• WebGLTextures: ~1,275 lines (texture binding, render targets, mipmap generation)
• WebGLMaterials: ~700 lines (material uniform updates, fog uniforms)
• WebGLClipping: ~169 lines (clipping plane management)

Each class requires:

1. Full AS-compatible implementation
2. Comprehensive unit tests (15-25 tests per class)
3. Mock DOM API handling
4. Validation against Three.js r125 API

This represents significant engineering work. I'm starting with WebGLProgram (most foundational) and will provide incremental, tested implementations. Given the scope, this may require multiple commits to complete all high-priority items comprehensively.
