A project could only be played inside the editor, behind the login.
To show a game to someone else there was no way short of an account.
A release freezes the saved project under a random token and serves
it on a page that holds nothing but the game view.
- Menu -> Release... opens a dialog with the state of the release,
the link with Copy link and Open, Publish or Update release, and
Take down behind a confirmation.
- Publish saves first and refuses while anything is unsaved, like
snapshots. Updating keeps the link. Take down kills it, and a new
Publish hands out a new token.
- The link is play.html?game=<32 hex>. The page needs no session,
paints Theme.colors.background, zooms with Auto and waits for
"Click to play" so that sound and keyboard focus are allowed.
- The game always starts in the start scene. Persistent variables
are stored per link in the browser. Plugins are not loaded, and the
dialog warns about them and about a project without a scene.
- GET ?r=releases/{token} is the only route besides auth/* that works
without a login. The public answer carries the token as project.id,
so the project id stays hidden. Release files are written with 0640
and nginx does not serve them directly (measured 403).
- Starting, the frame and Load scene moved into runtime/GameRun.ts.
Play in the editor and the play page run through the same code.
- WorldViewport moved to src/viewport/ and no longer needs the
EditorState. Pointer forwarding (gamePointer.ts) and setting up
textures, fonts and sounds (projectFiles.ts) exist only once.
- Vite builds two pages. The play page loads 4 kB of its own code
plus the shared chunk (Pixi, runtime, drawing, 653 kB) and Rapier,
without the editor.
Found on the way, not fixed here: data/projects/<id>.json answers 200
without a login because the files are 0644.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 194 files, 2808 tests, exit 0.
- tests/php/releases.test.php: 20 checks, also added to CI.
- New e2e module 60 with 10 checks, played in a browser without a
session. Module 46 counts the menu entries and was updated.
- Full e2e run: 1572 checks passed.
- Counter-checks: 3 unit, 2 PHP and 3 browser mutations all fail.

Both settings lived in the browser's localStorage, so they did not
travel with the project and differed per machine. They now belong to
the project like the symbol scale. There is no migration, old projects
load with the defaults.
- New module src/core/model/playSettings.ts reads playFrom and
gameScale on load. Unknown or missing values fall back to the start
scene and 100%.
- src/editor/settings.ts is gone.
- Play starts in the project settings dialog is an undo step
(SetPlayFromCommand). It is only recorded on a real change.
- The game view scale is saved with the project but is no undo step,
so Ctrl+Z never undoes a zoom. A scale picked during play is written
to the stored project and survives Stop.
- Save states of persistent Variables assets (saves.ts) stay in the
browser on purpose. They are runtime data of the game, not settings.
Tests:
- 6 new unit tests in tests/editor/play-settings.test.ts: defaults,
save and load, broken JSON, undo of Play starts, scale without undo
step, scale picked during play survives Stop.
- e2e 03g checks the value in the project, nothing in localStorage and
no new undo step. 35f also checks project.playFrom. No new checks,
the sum stays at 1375.
- Counter checks: no write to the stored project in play, no read on
load, and an undo step for the scale each fail exactly their test.
- ./check.sh: 158 files, 2332 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 1-17,28,30,35,38-40,46: ALL PASSED, 752 checks

A game needs a high score or an unlocked level to survive the end of
a run. As agreed in the issue there are no save or load nodes. A
Variables asset gets a switch instead, and the existing Variables
nodes read and write the values as before.
- A "Persistent" checkbox in the Variables inspector. Toggling it is
one undo step, and absent means not persistent.
- The behavior system loads the saved values at start and writes them
after every frame that changed one, so a closed tab loses nothing.
- Values live in localStorage per project, not in the project file.
Another browser or person starts fresh.
- Play and "Run in editor" save apart, so trying a behavior in the
editor leaves the Play save alone.
- Saved values are read through the current declaration. A removed
variable drops out, a new one starts from its default, and a changed
kind is converted.
- "Clear saved values" in the inspector clears this asset in both
areas. The main menu gets "Clear saved data" for the whole project.
Clearing takes effect from the next run on.
Decisions:
- The switch covers the whole asset, not single variables. Mixing
both means two assets.
- A changed default in the inspector shows only after the save is
cleared. That is what persistent means.
Findings:
- The first e2e run died at "debug hook present" right after a Vulkan
error from Chrome. The second run passed, so it was a GPU flake at
start-up.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 140 files, 2070 tests, exit 0 (before 138 / 2055).
- 15 new unit tests in tests/core/saved-values.test.ts and
tests/editor/saves.test.ts.
- GM_STEPS=32,46 fresh: ALL PASSED, 24 checks. Six new checks in
module 32 go through the UI. Module 46 knows the new menu entry.
- Counter-checks both fail as expected. Loading switched off: 2 unit
tests and 2 e2e checks fail. Editor run writing into the Play area:
1 e2e check fails.
- Check total 1278 (1272 measured by CI at bbbf341, plus 6).
