Alexander Whitestone a2603370cf feat: scaffold the Wizard's Tower — two rooms, entry hall (#215)
Structure:
- index.html: Entry hall with two doors (Workshop + Scrolls)
- world/: Workshop placeholder (3D scene mount point)
- blog/: Scrolls with Atom feed, post listing, build script
- scripts/aw-post: CLI for quick-posting markdown
- scripts/build.py: Generates blog index + RSS from posts/
- Makefile: dev, build, deploy targets

Dark, minimal aesthetic. No frameworks, no dependencies.
Awaiting: 3D engine choice, first post content, deploy target.

The Wizard's Tower

AlexanderWhitestone.com — two rooms, nothing else.

Rooms

  • The Workshop (/world/) — A 3D space where Timmy lives. Visitors enter and interact.
  • The Scrolls (/blog/) — Alexander's words. Plain text, RSS, sovereign publishing.

Structure

index.html          Entry hall — two doors
world/              The Workshop (3D scene, Timmy presence)
blog/               The Scrolls (posts, RSS feed)
scripts/            CLI tools (aw-post for quick publishing)
static/             Shared assets (fonts, favicon)
Makefile            Build, dev, deploy

Development

make dev     # Local dev server on :8080
make build   # Build static site
make deploy  # Deploy (configure target in Makefile)

Tech Decisions (Open)

  • 3D engine: Three.js vs Babylon.js
  • Blog: Hugo vs hand-rolled static generator
  • Hosting: self-hosted Nginx/Caddy vs static CDN
  • Timmy's 3D character design

Philosophy

Two doors. No navbar. No sidebar. No footer links. You walk in, you choose a room. The Workshop is alive. The Scrolls are permanent. That's the Tower.
