Overview
Hit and Run Web is an open-source, high-performance solution engineered to solve foundational workflow challenges in the Python ecosystem. Built on local-first principles to ensure privacy, performance, and complete data ownership, it provides a unified architecture for modern developers and technical power users.
How It Works
Hit and Run Web operates through structured, deterministic execution stages:
Playable Hit & Run Reconstruction: Drives across Springfield with arcade vehicle handling, drifts, jumps, and collision reactions.
Three.js Open World Engine: Streams neighborhood roads, recognizable landmarks, and suburban props in modern desktop browsers.
Interactive Pedestrian & Traffic Physics: Implements pedestrian ragdoll reactions, traffic car collisions, and street furniture knockdowns.
Original Mission Objectives: Executes timed delivery challenges, street races, and vehicular pursuit missions with full audio cues.

How to Use & Workflow
1Application Launch: Launch Hit and Run Web to initialize runtime state and local storage caches.
2Configuration & Workspace: Set up local configuration, environment flags, or CLI paths.
3Execution Workflow: Execute automated pipelines or interact through the visual interface.
4Data Verification: Review generated outputs stored deterministically in designated directories.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Issue: Port or Resource Collision on Startup.
*Cause*: A zombie process or background daemon is holding active port bindings.
*Resolution*: Terminate holding processes before relaunching the application.
Issue: Missing native toolchain dependencies during build.
*Cause*: Host system lacks C++ or platform compilation tools.
*Resolution*: Install Xcode Command Line Tools (macOS) or Visual Studio Build Tools (Windows).
