 This directory contains asciitorium art assets for the asciitorium framework. They are organized into categories: fonts, maps, materials, sounds, and sprites.
 
+## Asset Resolution and Library Assets
+
+The asciitorium framework uses a **fallback resolution system** for assets:
+
+1. **Project Assets First**: `public/art/{type}/{name}.art` in your project
+2. **Library Assets Fallback**: `node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/{type}/{name}.art`
+
+This means you automatically have access to all library assets without copying them!
+
+### Using Library Assets
+
+The asciitorium library includes starter assets:
+
+**Materials**: `wall-brick`, `wall-wireframe`, `bone`, `door-wooden`
+**Sprites**: `beating-heart`, `balloon`, `castle`, `eyes`, `firework`, `heart`, `pyramid`, `welcome`, and more
+**Fonts**: `marker`, `pencil`, `pixel`, `shadows`
+**Maps**: `example` (with legend)
+**Sounds**: `door-open.mp3`, `door-close.mp3`, `taps.mp3`
+
+Simply reference them by name - no need to copy files:
+
+```typescript
+import { AssetManager, Art, Banner } from 'asciitorium';
+
+// Use library sprite
+<Art sprite="beating-heart" />
+
+// Use library font
+<Banner font="shadows" text="Hello" />
+
+// Use library material (in map legend)
+const materialAsset = await AssetManager.getMaterial('wall-brick');
+```
+
+### Customizing Assets
+
+**To use library asset as-is**: Just reference it by name (nothing to do!)
+
+**To customize a library asset**:
+1. Copy the asset from `node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/{type}/{name}.art`
+2. Paste into your project's `public/art/{type}/{name}.art`
+3. Edit as desired
+4. Your version now takes precedence over the library version
+
+**To create custom assets**:
+1. Create a new `.art` file in `public/art/{type}/{custom-name}.art`
+2. Follow the format documented in the type-specific README
+3. Reference by name in your code
+
+### Asset Updates
+
+When you run `npm update asciitorium`:
+- Library assets are automatically updated in `node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/`
+- Your project assets in `public/art/` are never touched
+- Any library assets you haven't overridden get the latest improvements
+- Any assets you've copied to your project stay as-is (your responsibility to update)
+
+**Best Practice**: Only copy library assets to your project if you need to customize them. Use library assets directly whenever possible to benefit from automatic updates.
+
+### Listing Available Library Assets
+
+To see all available library assets, check:
+```bash
+ls node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/materials/
+ls node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/sprites/
+ls node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/fonts/
+ls node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/maps/
+ls node_modules/asciitorium/public/art/sounds/
+```
+
+Or view the latest assets in the [asciitorium repository](https://github.com/tgruby/asciitorium/tree/main/packages/asciitorium/public/art).

-# Art Asset Format Specification
-
-This document defines the metadata format for ASCII art assets in asciitorium, including fonts, materials, and sprites.
-
-## Overview
-
-Art assets use a text-based format that combines:
-
-- **Section headers** (`§`) defining global asset properties
-- **Layer/frame separators** (`¶`) with metadata for each section
-- **ASCII art content** following each separator
-
-## Design Goals
-
-1. **Human-readable**: Artists should be able to read and write metadata without tooling
-2. **Simple**: Use standard JSON format with flat key-value structure
-3. **No nesting**: Flat data structures only - no nested objects or arrays
-4. **Consistent**: Same format works for materials, sprites, and font asset types
-5. **Extensible**: Easy to add new properties without breaking existing assets
-
-## Format Syntax
-
-### File Header (`§`)
-
-The file header appears once at the beginning of the file and defines the asset type and global properties.
-
-**Format:**
-
-```json
-§ {"key":"value","key":"value"}
-```
-
-**Example:**
-
-```json
-§ {"kind":"material","usage":"first-person","placement":"scenery"}
-```
-
-### Layer/Frame Separator (`¶`)
-
-Separates different layers (materials), characters (fonts) or frames (sprites) with section-specific metadata.
-
-**Format:**
-
-```json
-¶ {"key":"value","key":"value"}
-[ASCII art content follows]
-```
-
-**Example:**
-
-```json
-¶ {"layer":"here","pos":"center"}
-   |‽‽‽‽‽‽‽|
-   |‽‽‽‽‽‽‽|
-```
-
-## Parsing Rules
-
-### JSON Format
-
-1. **Parse as JSON**: Standard JSON.parse() after removing separator character
-2. **Primitive values only**: All values must be strings, numbers, or booleans
-3. **No nesting**: Objects must be flat - no nested objects or arrays
-4. **Empty metadata**: Empty separator `¶` or `§` is valid (inherits defaults)
-
-### Single-Frame Sprites
-
-If a file does not start with a `§` file header, it is assumed to be a single-frame sprite with no metadata:
-
-```txt
-  ___
- /   \
-|  o  |
- \___/
-```
-
-This is equivalent to:
-
-```json
-§ {"kind":"sprite","loop":"false"}
-¶
-  ___
- /   \
-|  o  |
- \___/
-```
-
-### Empty Separators
-
-A separator with no metadata is valid for sprites:
-
-```txt
-¶
-[ASCII art content]
-```
-
-This inherits defaults or indicates a frame with no special properties.
-
-## Font Assets
-
-Fonts define ASCII art representations of characters for rendering text in stylized formats.
-
-### File Header Properties
-
-| Key    | Values | Required | Description           |
-| ------ | ------ | -------- | --------------------- |
-| `kind` | `font` | Yes      | Asset type identifier |
-
-### Character Separator Properties
-
-| Key         | Values | Required | Description                         |
-| ----------- | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------- |
-| `character` | string | Yes      | The character this glyph represents |
-
-### Font Example
-
-``` json
-§ {"kind":"font"}
-¶ {"character":"a"}
-
-╭─╮
-╭─┤
-╰─╰
-
-¶ {"character":"b"}
-│
-├─╮
-│ │
-╯─╯
-
-¶ {"character":"c"}
-
-╭─╮
-│
-╰─╯
-```
-
-### Font Design Rules
-
-- Each character glyph should have consistent height (including leading/trailing blank lines)
-- Characters can have variable width
-- Blank lines before/after the glyph art create vertical spacing
-- The `character` property must be a single character (letter, number, punctuation, etc.)
-- Fonts are typically loaded by name and used to render styled text
-
-## Sprite Assets
-
-Sprites define animated ASCII art with multiple frames.
-
-### File Header Properties
-
-| Key                  | Values          | Required | Description                                |
-| -------------------- | --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------ |
-| `kind`               | `sprite`        | Yes      | Asset type identifier                      |
-| `loop`               | `true`, `false` | No       | Whether animation loops (default: `false`) |
-| `default-frame-rate` | number (ms)     | No       | Default frame duration in milliseconds (default is 250 if none is supplied)     |
-
-### Frame Separator Properties
-
-| Key        | Values      | Required | Description                        |
-| ---------- | ----------- | -------- | ---------------------------------- |
-| `duration` | number (ms) | No       | Frame duration (overrides default) |
-| `sound`    | filename    | No       | Sound to play when frame displays  |
-| `event`    | string      | No       | Custom event name to trigger       |
-
-### Sprite Example
-
-```
-§ {"kind":"sprite","loop":true,"default-frame-rate":120}

-```
-
-### Animation Control
-
-- **loop:true**: Animation repeats from first frame after last frame
-- **loop:false**: Animation plays once and stops on last frame
-
-## Material Assets
-
-Materials define visual representations at different distances in first-person view.

-
-### Layer System
-
-Materials use a layered perspective system that adapts to different usage contexts:
-
-#### First-Person Usage
-
-- **here**: Immediate foreground (player is on this tile)
-- **near**: Close distance (1-2 tiles away)
-- **middle**: Mid distance (3-5 tiles away)
-- **far**: Far distance (6+ tiles away)
-
-#### Side-Scroller Usage (Parallax Layers)
-
-- **here**: Interactive elements (platforms player stands on, walls player collides with)
-- **near**: Foreground elements (close platforms, foreground decorations)
-- **middle**: Midground elements (trees, buildings, mid-distance scenery)
-- **far**: Background elements (mountains, clouds, distant scenery)
-
-#### Top-Down Usage
-
-- **here**: Ground level elements (floors, paths the player walks on)
-- **near**: Low obstacles and ground decorations
-- **middle**: Medium height elements (furniture, props)
-- **far**: Tall elements and ceiling details
-
-Each layer can have `left`, `center`, and `right` positioned elements for additional composition control.
-
-### Sound Triggers
-
-Sound properties are defined once in the file header and apply to the entire material:
-
-- **onEnterSound**: Plays once when player steps onto the tile
-- **onExitSound**: Plays once when player leaves the tile
-- **ambientSound**: Looping sound while material is visible (future feature)
-
-Sound files must be placed in `art/sounds/` directory.
-
-### Side-Scroller Material Example
-
-Here's an example of materials for a side-scrolling platformer game:
-
-**Ground Platform:**
-
-```
-§ {"kind":"material","usage":"side-scroller","placement":"ground","onEnterSound":"step.mp3"}
-¶ {"layer":"here","pos":"center"}
-═══════════════════════
-▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
-```
-
-**Brick Wall:**
-
-```
-§ {"kind":"material","usage":"side-scroller","placement":"scenery"}
-¶ {"layer":"here","pos":"center"}
-█▓▒░█▓▒░█▓▒░
-░▒▓█░▒▓█░▒▓█
-█▓▒░█▓▒░█▓▒░
-░▒▓█░▒▓█░▒▓█
-```
-
-**Background Mountain (Parallax):**
-
-```
-§ {"kind":"material","usage":"side-scroller","placement":"scenery"}
-¶ {"layer":"far","pos":"center"}
-      /\
-     /  \
-    /    \
-   /      \
-  /        \
-¶ {"layer":"middle","pos":"center"}
-    /\  /\
-   /  \/  \
-  /        \
-¶ {"layer":"near","pos":"center"}
- /\/\
-/    \
-```
-
-In side-scrollers, the layer system naturally supports parallax scrolling where `far` layers move slower than `here` layers, creating depth perception.
-
-## Validation Rules
-
-### Required Properties
-
-- File header MUST have `kind` property
-- Material layers MUST have `layer` and `pos` properties
-- Sprite frames MAY omit all properties (inherits defaults)
-
-### No Nesting Rule
-
-- All values MUST be primitives (string, number, or boolean)
-- Nested objects are NOT allowed
-- Arrays are NOT allowed
-- This keeps the format simple and predictable
-
-**Invalid (nested object):**
-
-```json
-{ "onEnter": { "sound": "door.mp3" } }
-```
-
-**Valid (flat structure with primitives):**
-
-```json
-{ "onEnterSound": "door.mp3", "duration": 1000, "loop": true }
-```
-
-### Value Constraints
-
-- **layer**: Must be one of `here`, `near`, `middle`, `far`
-- **pos**: Must be one of `left`, `center`, `right`
-- **placement**: Must be one of `scenery`, `ground`, `ceiling`
-- **usage**: Must be one of `first-person`, `top-down`, `side-scroller`
-- **loop**: Must be boolean `true` or `false`
-- **duration**: Must be positive number (milliseconds)
-- **default-frame-rate**: Must be positive number (milliseconds)
-- **x**: Must be number (integer)
-
-### Sound File References
-
-- Sound properties contain filename only (no path)
-- Files resolved relative to `art/sounds/` directory
-- Format: `"onEnterSound":"door-open.mp3"` not `"onEnterSound":"art/sounds/door-open.mp3"`

-# Asciitorium Fonts
-
-This directory contains ASCII font files for the **Banner** component. Fonts
-allow you to display large, stylized text using ASCII art characters.
-
-## Font File Format
-
-Font files use the `.art` extension and follow a structured format with metadata
-separators:
-
-### File Structure
-
-``` txt
-§ {"kind":"font"}
-¶ {"character":"A"}
-╭─╮
-│ │
-├─┤
-╵ ╵
-
-¶ {"character":"a"}
-
-╭─╮
-╭─┤
-╰─╰
-
-¶ {"character":["b", "B"]}
-╷
-├─╮
-│ │
-╯─╯
-```
-
-### Key Components
-
-1. **File Header** (`§` separator)
-   - Must start with `§ {"kind":"font"}`
-   - Indicates this is a font asset
-
-2. **Glyph Sections** (`¶` separator)
-   - Each glyph begins with `¶ {"character":"x"}` where `x` is the character
-   - Character can be a single string: `"a"`
-   - Or an array for multiple mappings: `["b", "B"]` (both lowercase and
-     uppercase)
-   - Glyph content follows immediately after the metadata line
-
-3. **Glyph Content**
-   - ASCII art representation of the character
-   - Each glyph can be any width/height
-   - Vertical positioning is preserved (blank lines matter!)
-   - Maximum font height is determined by the tallest glyph
-
-**Tips:**
-
-- Empty lines within glyphs are preserved to maintain vertical alignment
-- The first line after the glyph metadata is part of the character (no automatic
-  trimming)
-- Map multiple characters to the same glyph using arrays:
-  `{"character":["a","A"]}`
-- All glyphs should have consistent height for best results (pad with empty
-  lines if needed)
-
-## Using Fonts in Your App
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```tsx
-<Banner font="pencil" text="asciitorium" />
-```
-
-### With Letter Spacing
-
-```tsx
-<Banner font="marker" text="HELLO" letterSpacing={1} />
-```
-
-### With Reactive State
-
-```tsx
-import { State } from 'asciitorium';
-
-const titleText = new State<string>("Welcome");
-
-<Banner font="shadows" text={titleText} align="center" />
-```
-
-### Available Props
-
-- `font` (required): Name of the font file (without `.art` extension)
-- `text`: String or `State<string>` to render
-- `letterSpacing`: Additional spacing between characters (default: 0)
-- Plus all standard component props: `position`, `border`, `align`, `style`,
-  etc.
-
-## Technical Details
-
-### Loading
-
-Fonts are loaded asynchronously via the `AssetManager`:
-
-```typescript
-const fontAsset = await AssetManager.getFont('myfont');
-```
-
-### Caching
-
-Font assets are cached on first load - subsequent uses of the same font reuse
-the cached data.
-
-### Fallback Rendering
-
-If a character is not found in the font, the Banner component renders the
-character itself as a single-width glyph on the top line.
