# Chomp

> Bloop pack critter: a grape ball that is nearly all mouth, hinged at the back, with big square teeth, a lolling tongue and googly eyes up on bendy stalks. It hums along, nibbles the air in quick little noms, and every few seconds opens wider and wider, then snaps shut so hard it squashes and its eye stalks whip about. A tap makes it chomp. Raymarched in WebGL, six palettes.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/bloop-chomp/bloop-chomp.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/bloop-chomp
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/bloop-chomp.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)
