The Toon client

Toon-sim turns a Bunnyland world into something you can see. It attaches three pieces of presentation data to entities - a sprite image, a float X/Y position, and an integer draw layer - so a graphical client can show a room as a stack of sprites. Rooms sit at the back as the scene's background, furniture and props layer above them, interactive items and doors above that, and characters on top. The simulation itself ignores all of this; it is purely there for clients to draw.

The client that reads it is Bunnyland Toon, a web page that shows one room at a time with its contents layered on top and doors leading to the neighbouring rooms.

Opening Bunnyland Toon

Open the Bunnyland Toon page. On a hosted deployment the Server box is pre-filled with the site's API (/api/) and the page connects automatically; otherwise type your server's address and press Connect Live. Once the status reads connected, choose your character from the Player menu. The view centres on the room your character is in, and your character's sprite is highlighted.

The client keeps one player-scoped live connection for room activity, action results, and character refreshes. If it drops, the page reconnects and uses recent activity as a temporary fallback, so a short interruption should not require reloading the page or duplicate events.

If a world was generated without sprite art, entities still appear: each falls back to an icon based on its kind, and rooms show their name as a labeled backdrop. Art can be filled in later without changing anything about how you play.

Reading the room

The left panel is the room. From back to front you see:

Items can also carry a toon-only PlacedOn relationship to furniture such as tables, desks, shelves, and counters. The room still contains both the furniture and the item; PlacedOn only tells Bunnyland Toon to draw the item resting on that surface instead of as a loose floor object.

Transparent containers use the normal container data already present in the world. When a container has ContainerComponent.transparent = true, Bunnyland Toon can query or read that container's Contains relationships and draw those contents as visible through the container without changing core reachability or inventory rules.

Doors are pinned to the edge of the room that matches their direction - a north exit sits at the top, an east exit on the right. While you are looking at your own room, clicking a door queues a move through that exit - the same action as the Move verb, without the target picker. While you are *spectating* a room your character is not in, clicking a door instead moves the view one room further so you can look around; press Follow player to snap back to your own room.

Moving around

When you are looking at your own room, move your character by clicking where you want to stand, or with the arrow keys or WASD. Movement is immediate - your sprite follows right away - and it costs no action points, because shifting position inside a room is free. Your new position is sent to the server a few times a second, so everyone else sees you move too.

Walking *between* rooms is a real action. Click a door on the edge of your room, or use the Move action in the menu on the right; either way it spends an action point and only succeeds if the exit leads somewhere you can go. If you are short on points, the move is queued and runs as soon as your points regenerate.

The action menu

The right-hand panel lists the actions available to your character, grouped into world actions and focus actions. At the top it shows your current points:

Every action shows its cost. If you cannot afford one right now, it is greyed out until your points regenerate. Picking an affordable action does one of three things:

The menu only enables what you can pay for; the server still has the final say and will refuse an action if the target is out of reach or the moment has passed.

The menu is serialized from the server's installed action registry and current target groups. It does not carry its own fallback verb list; while that metadata is unavailable, the action area remains empty or disabled until the next live refresh.

The same actions everywhere

Bunnyland Toon is one way to drive a character. The actions in its menu are the same verbs available through chat and Discord - move, take, say, eat, and the rest - so a character you play here behaves exactly like one played any other way.
