thinking:
Alright, I’ve just finished writing two core frontend files for the new “neonstrike” archive: `map.js` defines the arena geometry, materials, and a few constants; `renderer.js` sets up a WebGL2 fragment‑shader ray‑tracer that will render the scene using those boxes. Both writes succeeded, and the tool output confirms the files are now present at the expected paths.

Let me pause and assess what’s left to get this prototype functional. The overall structure of a “neonstrike” app (by analogy with the existing “rblx” archive) likely mirrors the pattern:

- **public/** – static assets (HTML, CSS, JS)
- **server/** – Node/Express backend handling API, persistence, etc.
- **app/** – the actual game code (client‑side JS, shaders, assets)

In the `app/public/js/` folder, I now have `map.js` (scene description) and `renderer.js` (render pipeline). The next obvious piece for a 3‑D arena shooter is **audio**: gunshots, explosions, footstep sounds, ambient background, UI clicks, etc. Without sound the experience feels incomplete, and the original description of the project mentions “pure‑DSP SFX generators (testable arrays) + playback engine”. That phrasing suggests the intended implementation is not to rely on pre‑recorded audio files but to synthesize short sound effects algorithmically (e.g., using simple oscillators, noise bursts, envelopes) and expose them as typed arrays that can be fed into the Web Audio API for playback.

I considered a few alternatives:
1. **Pull in external audio files** – that would be quick, but it contradicts the “pure‑DSP” requirement and would add unnecessary assets to the repo.
2. **Use a third‑party library** (like Howler.js) – again, extra dependency and not aligned with the goal of demonstrating in‑house DSP synthesis.
3. **Write a minimal DSP module** – this matches the spec, keeps the codebase lightweight, and provides a nice testable interface (arrays of sample data). It also dovetails nicely with the existing WebGL rendering pipeline: both are shader‑style, low‑level, and can be verified in the browser using the already‑available Node/Chrome environment.

Given that the renderer is now complete (the fragment shader source is generated based on the number of boxes, the WebGL program is set up, etc.), the logical next step is to create the audio component. I should communicate that I’ve finished the renderer and outline the plan for audio, so the user knows where the work is heading.

Thus, the next message should succinctly acknowledge the renderer’s completion and state the upcoming task: building the pure‑DSP sound‑effect generators and a simple playback engine. This keeps the conversation moving forward and sets clear expectations for the next code contribution.

Hence, I’ll respond with a brief status update that the renderer is done and that I’m moving on to the audio portion, specifically “pure‑DSP SFX generators (testable arrays) + playback engine.”
