# Vaelis documentation > Complete, source-verified documentation for Vaelis 1.0.0: editor workflows, scripting API, components, physics, navigation and export. - Source: docs/v1.0.0/index.html - Engine version: Vaelis 1.0.0 > **What is Vaelis?:** A browser-based 2D game engine with a Unity-style visual editor, an entity–component runtime built on PixiJS (rendering) and Rapier2D (physics), and a JavaScript scripting API. The editor, runtime and exporter ship as a static site — no build server is needed to make or play games. ## Start here ### [Install & run](getting-started/installation.html) Use the hosted editor or serve the static distribution yourself. ### [Build your first game](getting-started/first-game.html) Entities, components and a first script in a few steps. ### [Scripting quickstart](getting-started/scripting.html) onStart, onUpdate, `this` and the component modules. ### [Editor controls](editor/controls.html) Exact menu paths, panels and keyboard shortcuts. ## Browse by topic ### [Get started](getting-started/installation.html) Run the editor, build a first game and learn the scripting model. 5 pages ### [Concepts](concepts/architecture.html) Architecture, the entity–component model, the game loop and coordinates. 4 pages ### [Editor](editor/overview.html) Every panel, menu path, shortcut and authoring workflow. 13 pages ### [Scripting](scripting/lifecycle.html) Lifecycle, globals, input, physics, navigation, saving and debugging. 18 pages ### [API reference](api/index.html) Component fields, script members, option shapes and prerequisites. 5 pages ### [Export & deploy](export/index.html) HTML5, installable PWA and Android APK builds. 4 pages ### [Reference](reference/tuning-guide.html) Tuning rules, scene and project formats, versioning and source map. 9 pages ### [AI & machine access](reference/ai-crawling.html) llms.txt, Markdown twins, JSON catalogs and guidance for assistants. 2 pages ## Component reference 25 components, each documented with serialized fields, defaults, script API and editor location.
