 ## WebGPU Integration
-WebGPU is utilized for its advanced graphics and compute capabilities, enabling our simulation to run efficiently on a wide range of devices. By offloading heavy computations to the GPU, we achieve smoother and more responsive visualizations.
+WebGPU is utilized for its advanced graphics and compute capabilities, enabling our simulation to run efficiently on a wide range of devices. By offloading heavy computations to the GPU, we achieve smoother and more responsive visualizations. The modular design aligns with industry standards like Unreal Engine 5, ensuring familiarity and ease of use for developers.

+## Modular Components
+The project is structured using modular components for WebGPU, ensuring a clean and scalable codebase:
+- **wgpu-device.js**: Handles WebGPU device initialization.
+- **wgpu-state.js**: Manages the application state.
+- **wgpu-utility.js**: Utility functions for texture and other operations.
+- **wgpu-pipeline.js**: Manages the creation of WebGPU pipelines.
+- **wgpu-shader.js**: Fetches and compiles shader codes.
+- **wgpu-texture.js**: Manages vertex data and textures.
+- **wgpu-buffer.js**: Handles buffer creation and management.
+- **wgpu-timing.js**: Manages timing and game loop properties.
