Tool gallery
Every screenshot below is generated from the current build by scripts/screenshots.mjs, which drives the demo page with real pointer input in headless Chrome. Regenerate them any time with bun run screenshots.
RageLayer ships 16 built-in tools in three entry-point groups:
| Group | Count | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Base | 7 | Hammer, Gun, Flamethrower, Water Hose, Chainsaw, Paintball, Broom |
| Heavy | 5 | Demolition, Rocket Launcher, Lightning, Black Hole, Bugs |
| Advanced | 4 | Gravity Gun, Laser Cutter, Acid Sprayer, Sticky Bombs |
The demo page, pristine
The engine is open (toolbar at the bottom) but nothing has been destroyed yet — an undamaged page is bit-identical to the raster.
Hammer
Each spot takes escalating blows — dent, spreading cracks, deep splintering — then fractures into rigid-body debris that tumbles and piles up.
Gun
A click fires one aimed round; hold briefly for full-auto spray, transparent holes through the real content, ejected casings, and barrel smoke. The procedural pistol has a detailed frame, open trigger guard, working slide, and recoil timed to the firing cadence.
Flamethrower
Fire catches, burns, deepens, then breaks through to the void. It spreads on its own fuel field and keeps eating the page after you release.
Chainsaw
Tears gashes and strips — close a loop and the enclosed piece drops out whole, carrying its slice of the page with it.
Paintball
Click for one splat or hold for automatic paintball fire. Every hit drips and dries, clipped to surviving page pixels.
Water hose
The compact pistol-grip pressure nozzle sprays a tight ballistic stream that breaks into droplets, puts out fires it reaches, and rinses paint and soot off surviving pixels. Washing cleans stains but does not repair structure, so a hole stays a hole.
Broom
Drag to sweep. The only genuinely restorative tool: it repairs the page back to the pristine capture under the bristles, and swats any bugs it passes over. Sweeping intact page leaves it exactly intact, with no seam where the sweep passed.
Black hole
Held: thin-lens gravitational deflection, frame-dragging swirl, photon ring, opaque horizon. It rips elements loose and hauls debris in on an inverse-linear pull with a capture funnel at the horizon, then detonates on release.
Lightning
A forking bolt with sub-branches and restrike flicker, an ionized burn channel, ground crawlers, a crater, and fires.
Rocket launcher
Click to launch. The rocket leaves the muzzle along the tool's aim with a backblast and recoil, arms only once it has actually flown, then detonates on impact — so the crater is never where the click was.
Demolition
Click page furniture — cards, images, paragraphs — to knock the whole element loose as a single rigid body rather than fracturing it. Elements are measured from the live layout at capture time, so what you can see is what you can pull out.
Bugs
Click to release a bug. They crawl over the surviving page, avoid the void, and can be squashed with any impact tool, shot, or swept up with the broom.
Gravity gun
Hold over wreckage to pull rigid chunks into orbit, then release to launch the nearest piece along the tool's aim. Using it around a sticky-bomb blast triggers the orbital-bomb combo.
Laser cutter
Drag for a straight, constant-width heated kerf. Like the chainsaw, the laser removes structure along its entire path and drops any isolated piece as rigid debris; its edge stays clean instead of chattering like a saw cut.
Acid sprayer
Hold to spray along the direction of the drawn nozzle. The visible droplets, stains, and structural corrosion share the same impact points, then each deposit creeps a short, bounded distance nearby. Acid meeting fire causes a volatile-corrosion blast.
Sticky bombs
Click to attach up to eight timed charges. Charges remain visible on the surface, spark near the end of their fuse, then fracture and ignite the attachment point.
Physical behavior and combos
All captured content uses the same built-in wood-like physical response, so tool strength and timing are predictable across a page. Nearby effects can still combine; see the advanced systems guide for the four built-in combos.
A mixed session
Gun, hammer, flamethrower and paintball together — smoke plumes, live fires, crack webs, splats, and the debris heap at the bottom of the window.
