Play sounds as notes of an instrument asset #331
A sound could only be played as it was, one at a time. An instrument
is a node graph that makes a note a sound: Notes nodes bring the note
in, Samples play sound assets for it, the effects of a sound FX shape
it and the Output sums the layers. Its tab plays it from a keyboard,
a behavior with Play note. It is what patterns and songs (#330) will
play.
- New asset type instrument, under the heading Music, not placeable.
A new one starts as Notes into a Sample into the Output.
- Notes are counted as MIDI does: 60 is C4, names like C#4, sharps
only, the lowest C-1. Notes has From and To, outputs any, note,
frequency and velocity, and with Single notes a trigger per note,
each with an optional name for a drum kit.
- New port type trigger, only into the trigger of a source. Inputs
can take any number of edges now (PortDef.many): a trigger, and
the Output, which plays everything into it side by side.
- Sample plays a sound asset. Follow note shifts it by note - root
through the pitch worklet of #317, so it keeps its length. Gate
fades it out at the end of the note, One-shot plays through. Loop
runs between Loop start and Loop end, also in the worklet.
- Parameters declares the instrument's own parameters with a
default. Sound FX sends the sound through a sound FX asset, its
parameters as inputs, the sound set in where its Input was.
- compileInstrument walks the graph once per note. A trigger is on
only for the notes it stands for, a silent source silences what it
alone feeds, a Mix with a silent side is the other side. velocity
and the parameters stay open for the voice. Builds are cached per
note until the graph or a sound or FX it names changes.
- The player takes a note as one voice of several layers, each way
with its own file and volume. release fades the gated ways out,
one-shots play on. playNote can release after a duration.
- Play note plays one note with velocity, volume, duration and
detached, and hands out voice for Set sound FX parameters and
Stop sound. Velocity is always loudness. Instrument parameters
picks values for the instrument's parameters like Sound FX
parameters does for an FX, renames follow.
- The tab has the graph, a header field per parameter, Stop, and
128 keys below. Keys without sound are grey. A key plays while it
is held. Focused, the computer keyboard plays as in a tracker by
KeyboardEvent.code, the arrows move the octave.
Findings:
- A label of the keys set fill on the shared small text style and
darkened every small label of the editor. Caught in a screenshot
before the commit, the keys have a style of their own now.
- Suite task 523 on

Offer the easings of an animation key on Lerp and sound FX ramps
A timed Set sound FX parameters ran only linearly, and a Lerp had four quadratic eases of its own. An animation key already had the full set. Now all three offer the same choice: Linear, Step, the ten curves from Sine to Bounce with In, Out or In-out, and a drawn Curve asset. - easingParams in src/core/graph/nodes/easing.ts gives a node the fields Easing, Direction and Curve from the key's own lists, and easingOfParams reads them back as a key interpolation. - There is no migration. A Lerp saved with the old in, out or inOut runs linear until its easing is picked again. - Set sound FX parameters hands the easing to the player. Linear and Step stay ramps of the audio clock, every other easing goes to setValueCurveAtTime as 200 samples a second, in semitones and dB. - Step now reaches its end at t 1. A key never asked for that, it reads the next key itself, so animations play as before. - The curve-in-use count and the warning for a gone curve cover the sound node too. Tests: - node-catalog: Lerp with cubic in, quad out and in-out, a curve without a direction, step, an unknown easing as linear. The sound node hands on a curve, step and a gone curve as linear. - sound-library: an eased change becomes a curve in semitones and decibels, a step a jump at the end. - node-catalog and curve after dropping the old values: 399, green. - e2e 6, 34, 53 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 198 checks. In Chrome a 2 s Quad in from depth 7 to -5 read speed 0.864 early and 0.5 at the end, a 1 s Step held 1 and then jumped to 0.5. - Counter-check: with curves sent as linear ramps, the curve test of the sound library fails.

Let a game hand values to the parameters of a sound FX #311
A sound FX played the same every time: its numbers were settings of the nodes. Now the Input declares parameters with a default, every number of Gain, Pitch and EQ is an input they can feed, and a Play sound hands in values for them. - Input declares number parameters in the inspector, each with a Default (DeclaredPort.default, SetPortDefaultCommand). They are outputs of the Input. Input and Output count as terminals now, one of each per graph. - Gain, Pitch and EQ take their numbers at inputs under the keys the settings had, so saved graphs sound as before without a migration. Each value is held to its range however it arrives. - The compiler gives an FxPlan with the parameters still open. fxChainOf fills them in when a voice starts. The player still only sees an FxChain. - New behavior node Sound FX parameters: names an FX and picks its parameters like a Variables node picks variables. Each picked one is a number input that starts at the FX's default. Its output has the new port type fxparams, which only fits Play sound's fx params. - Play sound warns when the parameters name another FX than the one it plays. Names the FX does not know are left out. - Renaming a parameter at the Input renames it in every Sound FX parameters node naming that FX, edges and values included. - The Sound FX tab has a number field per parameter in its header. Play uses those values, they are never written into the asset. - A value counts from the start of a voice. Changing a playing voice is #315, a Mix node is #316. Tests: - soundfx.test.ts 22 (+11): parameters in the plan, held values, a 0-by-default stage, EQ band, save with defaults, wrong port types, default command with undo, Sound FX parameters into Play sound, defaults of picked ones, node problems, mismatch, rename with undo - node-catalog 368 (+3): Play sound fx params, Sound FX parameters - e2e 34: ALL PASSED - 28 checks (+2: header field plays depth 5, a Sound FX parameters node gives the game's voice depth 7) - Gate on melektaus-atx: typecheck, lint, prettier clean, 240 test files, 3636 tests green - Counter-check: with fxChainOf ignoring the values and the rename not followed, 5 of the new tests fail. - Browser probe: header fields, inspector Default and the picked parameter looked at in two screenshots.

Let a Start input or a variable name the state machine it carries
A sub-behavior that gets its machine through a Start input had no state ports on Is in state, Set state and the other state nodes. Their ports came only from an inline pick or a State machine literal, so a machine handed in from outside left them empty. - A statemachine port of a Start node can now name a machine (DeclaredPort.machine). The inspector shows the pick next to the port name. SetPortMachineCommand sets it with undo. - machineIdOf follows an edge from such a port to that machine, so the state nodes it feeds offer its states. - A Run behavior node has the machine picked in advance on that input. - A different pick there is allowed, but the node warns, because the called graph asks for the states of its own machine. - A statemachine variable of a Variables node can name a machine the same way, picked next to the variable's row. - The inspector signature of a node now includes the picked machine. Before, the pick changed the ports but the dropdown kept its text until the node was selected again. - A local machine handed in still starts in no state every call. That rule from #229 is unchanged. Tests: - tests/core/start-machine.test.ts (7): ports with and without a machine and undo, save and load, the preset value moving a shared machine through the call, the warning, a port of another kind, the inspector signature, a Variables node. - Counter checks: without the new branch in machineIdOf 2 tests fail, without the machine in the signature 1 test fails. - Gate on melektaus-atx: 239 files, 3599 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.

Use a shader graph as a node in other shaders (#303)
A calculation needed in several shaders (a greyscale, a noise, an outline) had to be built again in every one of them. A shader function keeps it as an asset of its own, called like a behavior is since #16. - New asset type `shaderfunction` ("Shader function"), edited in the Shader tab. The panel beside the graph shows no picture, the readout counts its inputs and outputs. - Two new nodes: `Function input` and `Function output`. Their declared ports, numbers or colours only, are the ports of every call. One of each per function, like Start and End. - The call is node `ShaderCall`, named after the function. The palette lists every function, it can be dragged in from the Assets panel, and a double-click opens it. - The compiler sets the function in where it is called (`inlineFunctions`). It renames the copied nodes `<call>/<node>` and turns an unconnected port into a constant. Passes, Time, the Edge cut and the corner walk then see a plain graph. - A problem inside a function is reported at the call, in the function's words. The function's own tab checks it on its own (`checkShaderFunction`). - `ShaderLibrary` keys a shader on its graph and on every function it calls, however deep, so a change reaches every caller. - The port commands mirror a new, renamed or removed port into every call, as for a behavior's Start and End. `NodeDef.portKinds` holds the two ends to Number and Color. - As agreed in the issue: no `Property`, `Color property`, Output or Vertex output in a function, and `Time` is the caller's clock. - Own decision: a `Pass` may stand in a function. It becomes a pass of the calling shader, so a wide blur can be a function. - A function calling itself, also through another, says so at the node and is not set in. The palette does not offer such a call. - The Shader tab showed only the compiler's problems. A call nothing reaches was never compiled and looked healthy, so a call now also shows its own problem there, as in a behavior. Tests: - Gate: 228 files, 3510 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+13: 11 in tests/core/shader-functions.test.ts, 2 for the new icon) - e2e 28: 100 checks, all passed (+3 in 28l-viii). Called and in place both #606060/#a2a2a2, halved in the function #303030/#515151. - Counter-check: a fingerprint without the called functions fails 1 unit test, and in the browser the change check (#606060 stays). - The first e2e runs found two faults, both fixed: a double-click only selected the function, and an unreached call of itself showed no problem. - e2e total 1728 is computed (1725 + 3).

Give a behavior more ways in and out, and hear it as an event (#294)
A behavior run by another one had a single flow port at its Start and at its End, so it could not branch for its caller. And it could not be used as an event: a call needs a pulse at its flow input, and the events of a called graph never fire. An input like "Confirm" (Space or Enter) had to be built again in every graph. - A declared port of a Start or an End node can be of the kind Flow. It sits above the values and shares their names, exec stays reserved. Only these two nodes declare one, a struct does not. - Run behavior shows a flow port of the Start as a further flow input. A call arriving through it leaves the Start through the output of that name and not through exec. - Run behavior shows a flow port of the End as a further flow output. The call goes on through the one the End was reached by last, and then through exec. exec fires always, as before. - On behavior is a new event node without a flow input. The behavior it names runs at the node for as long as the behavior around it runs, with all of its own events and one set of variables per node. - Its outputs are those of the End. It fires once the inner pulse is through, by the output the End was reached by last, exec only for End.exec. A pulse that never reaches the End is not seen. - The value ports of the Start are its inputs, read anew for each inner pulse. The Start itself never fires there. - It nests to any depth. Under a Run behavior it stays silent. A behavior hearing itself, however far round, is not started and the node says "A behavior cannot listen to itself". - The palette offers every other behavior with an End once more as "On <name>". A node naming one without End says so. - An On node removed while the game runs ends its behavior with On disable and On destroy. The sounds of the entity end only with the behavior placed on it. - Renaming and deleting a declared port follows the edges at On behavior nodes as it does at Run behavior nodes. - The flow outputs of the Start of a behavior placed on an object never fire, like its exec. - The engine prompt of the benchmark names flow ports and On behavior. Tests: - Gate on melektaus-atx right before this commit: 215 files, 3319 tests (3278 + 41), exit 0. - e2e 19 on melektaus-atx: 39 checks (+4), all pass. e2e 1-6,17-24,26,36,51: 628 checks, all pass. - 19 unit tests in flow-ports.test.ts, 19 in on-behavior.test.ts on a real world, the rest in the node catalog. - Four new e2e checks in module 19: a flow port declared by mouse at the End, On Confirm in the graph, the call leaving through the further output while playing, Enter and Space on a real keyboard. - 19 unit counter-probes all fail their tests. One did not at first (a removed node kept its instance), a test was added. Two browser counter-probes fail their checks. - One screenshot looked at: On Confirm with exec and pressed, the second flow pin at the calling node. - The e2e sum of 1680 is counted (1676 + 4), the full suite and the smokes did not run. - Not seen in the browser: flow inputs at the Start, nesting, the ring, values through On behavior, the palette entry. No test holds that the sounds of the entity go on when a heard behavior ends. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Show the type an arithmetic shader node really puts out (#219)
The result of Add, Multiply, Mix and the other arithmetic nodes of a shader graph was drawn as any, whatever went in. The compiler already lifts a colour on any side to a colour result, so the pin said less than the code knew. A colour result could also be wired into a number input, and the shader then failed to compile. - liftedType in core/shader/nodes.ts is the one rule. The compiler reads it when it lifts two operands, and the editor reads it through liftedPortType for the ports it draws. - A SharedPortGroup may bring its own rule as agree. Without one it is agreedType, as before. The thirteen arithmetic nodes share their type by liftedPortType. - Only the any inputs decide. An input nothing feeds counts as the number typed into it. t, edge, exponent, min and max have no say. - The type travels through a chain of such nodes without code of its own, because #210 hands a shared type on. - In a ring the result stays any, unless a colour has settled it. - A number may feed a colour input. Without that a number result no longer fitted Output.color, although the compiler spreads it over three channels. The rule sits in portsCompatible, but only the shader graph has colour ports. - A colour result no longer fits a number input. An edge laid before the colour came in stays and is drawn in the danger colour, and the node at its end names the problem. - The nine shaders in the stored projects (108 edges) all stay valid under the new rule. Tests: - Gate on melektaus-atx: 212 files, 3260 tests (3240 + 20), exit 0. The gate right before this commit ran on the tree of this and the next commit together, with the same numbers. - e2e 28 on melektaus-atx: 81 checks, all pass. - e2e 1-31: 1059 pass, 1 fail in module 18 (the editor clock read 1.97 s after a stop). A rerun of 1-18 passed with 602 checks and 0.18 s. 1-31 was not run in full again. - No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1676 (1673 + 3) is reckoned. - Twenty unit tests in shader-port-types.test.ts, one of them runs all thirteen nodes through every mix of number and colour and compares what is drawn with the code made. - Two tests in shaders.test.ts now lay the edge first and bring the colour in after, the only order that still wires such a graph. - Three e2e checks in module 28 with the real mouse: a colour into Multiply, the red edge with its message, and the colour result refused at alpha and taken at color. - Fifteen unit counter-probes and two browser counter-probes all fail their tests. - Not checked in the browser: the one-input nodes, Mix and the ring, and a number wired straight into a colour input. Nothing was looked at after the build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Hand a shared port type on through a chain of nodes (#210)
Since #207 the output of First not empty or Select takes the type
its inputs agree on. A second node of that kind behind the first
stayed any, because the first one answered with the any it was
registered with. That was the guard against a circle of such nodes
asking each other forever. The issue asks for the type to travel
through the chain. Answered there: measure with 50 nodes and build
no cache, and the painted input pins follow along.
- shapedDef in core/graph/nested.ts takes a Trail in place of the
flag inherit. Its set open holds the nodes still being asked. A
node reached a second time reports the any it was registered
with, which ends a circle.
- The map done of the Trail keeps each answer of one question. A
node feeding both inputs of the next is asked once, so the work
does not double with every link of a chain.
- ownShape is the part of shapedDef that builds the ports before a
shared group has its say. It is split off, nothing in it changed.
- Inputs stay any and only outputs inherit, as in #207. An edge
that turns invalid further down is left in place and drawn in the
danger colour.
- paintedInputs uses one Trail for all pins of a node, so the pins
show the type handed on through the chain.
- Nothing is cached between two changes. A chain of 50 resolved in
about 10 ms where it took 2 ms before, measured earlier in this
round and not again for this commit.
Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 211 files, 3240 tests (3227 + 13), exit 0
- e2e 1-6 on melektaus-atx: 298 checks, all pass
- e2e 4,6,18,19,20,23,24,26,28,31,36,43,53: 558 checks, all pass
- No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1673 (1671 + 2) is reckoned,
1671 is what CI counted for

Check the declared type when a graph writes a typed variable (#271)
A list variable with an item type only kept its shape in the editor. A graph could write any list into it at runtime, and the List node had no type at all. Now the declaration decides what a write may store. - Writing a list into a typed list variable leaves out every item that does not have exactly the fields of the type. The rest is written and the console names each item that was left out, like Add item does. - The same rule holds for typed list fields inside a struct variable and for lists inside typed items, at any depth. - A typed struct variable refuses a struct with a field the type does not have, and a value that is no struct. A struct with missing fields still merges in as before, so a partial Pack keeps working. - The check runs in the Variables node (own variables and Variables assets) and in the Properties node when it sets a behavior variable of another object. - Ports learn their declaration through GraphLookup: what a variable declares about its type, and which behavior owns a graph. The rule itself lives in the new src/core/graph/typedValues.ts, fitsType moved there from SetItem. - The List node gets a Type setting. With a type its items are shaped and marked, follow the struct asset, count when the type is deleted and offer Split into fields in For each. The mark never reaches the running game. - A type on a List node holding something other than structs is refused with a console line. - Setting the List node back to None removes the marks, unlike a list variable. A node list has no per-item type row, so marked items could never be freed there. Undo brings everything back. - tests/core/kinds.test.ts looked for the value as the first parameter of a literal. Type now comes first on the List node, so the test finds the value by its key. Tests: - Gate: 198 files, 2869 tests (2856 + 13), CHECK EXIT 0 - e2e 55: 19 checks (+55j write at runtime, +2 for 55k List node) - e2e 54: 16 checks, smokes 24 / 19 / 21 - Five mutations, each fails between 1 and 4 tests - e2e total 1606 is computed (1603 + 3), no full run Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Query objects in bulk and filter, count or test a list (#259)
The object queries only ever returned one object: Object by name, Child by name and Find all stop at the first hit. Getting every coin, every child or every item that passes a test needed a For each with its own bookkeeping. These nodes return the whole set as a list of Object, so For each and Find can use item straight away. - Objects by name returns every scene object with that name in scene order. - Children by name returns every match below object, nearer levels first, the same order as the singular node. - Children returns the direct children, with recursive all of them level by level. - Objects of asset returns every instance of an object asset or container by the same rule as Is asset, spawned ones included. - All four take a snapshot. Destroyed objects are never in it, disabled ones are, as with the singular nodes. - Find has a Mode setting: First, All, Any and Count. First is the default and hides the row, so existing graphs look the same. - Match follows the mode of its paired Find: done with items and indices, done with any, or done with count. An unpaired Match shows First, since the pairing only comes from the wiring. - First and Any stop at the first hit, All and Count walk the list. - Changing the mode drops edges at outputs the Match no longer has, in one undo step. SetNodeParamCommand now cleans the whole graph, but only edges that were valid before the change. - The palette entry "filter" adds a Find set to All with its Match. Found on the way: - After adding the filter entry, "find" + Enter picked Filter. The entry has node type Find, counted as an exact hit, and the tie went to the alphabet. The search now ranks by the entry id. e2e 6z-v caught it. Tests: - ./check.sh: 188 files, 2746 tests, CHECK EXIT 0. - find-modes.test.ts with 11 tests, 11 catalog cases for the four nodes, the asset input guard now expects 3. - e2e 6z-vii with 3 checks: filter from the palette, Count picked in the inspector drops the items edge, a run logs 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, "0, 2". - GM_STEPS=1-6: all passed, 278 checks. - Counter-checks fail as expected: every mode stopping early (2), Match ignoring the mode (6), cleanup on the own node only (1), no recursion (2), no inOrder (2), old ranking (1). In the browser a Match ignoring the mode fails both editor checks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Split a struct output into one pin per field (#256)
Reading one field of a struct needed its own Expand node, even where the graph already knows the struct type. A split output shows the fields directly on the node, so a Find … Match test becomes a single Equals and the wires keep running left to right. - Right-clicking an output pin offers "Split into <Type> fields" when the type is known and "Split as …" for every other struct asset. The output is replaced by one pin per field with the field's kind. - The type is known for typed struct variables, typed Pack/Expand, fields of another split and item of For each, Find, Match and Item at over a typed list (portSplits.ts). - Right-clicking a field pin offers "Recombine". Splitting drops the edges of the whole output, recombining drops the field edges. One undo step brings them back. - The split is stored as GraphNode.splits and saved with the graph. Copy and paste carry it along. - Field pins follow the struct asset like a typed Expand. A new field gets a pin, a removed field loses pin and edge, a renamed field keeps its edge. Deleting the asset keeps the last fields. The delete dialog counts splits, so it now says "node(s)" instead of "Pack/Expand node(s)". - Renaming a variable carries its split and the field edges along. - At run time the node still produces the whole value. A field pin reads its field like Expand, a missing field reads as empty. - Limits: outputs only, one level, behavior graphs only. Tests: - ./check.sh: 185 files, 2706 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 - e2e GM_STEPS=1-6,54,55: ALL PASSED, 303 checks - New port-splits.test.ts with 12 tests. e2e 6z-vi with 3 checks using a real mouse: split Find.item, wire item.Name into the test and Match.item.Amount into the log (logs 7), recombine. - Counter-checks: without field reads in the interpreter, without rename in the split, without moving edges on rename and without cleanup on field removal one unit test fails each. In the browser, without field reads nothing is logged and without type inference the split entry is missing. - Check total in README: 1520. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Define a struct once as an asset and reuse its shape (#253)
A struct used to declare its fields wherever it stood. The same shape in two variables meant typing it twice, and Pack/Expand copied it once without staying in sync. A Struct asset now holds the shape in one place, and every struct that picks it as its type follows it. - New asset type "Struct" (not placeable, group Structs, own icon). The inspector shows its fields with name, kind and default value, and "Open" shows them in the variables tab. - Struct variables and struct fields get a Type row: own fields, any Struct asset, or "Make struct type". With a type the fields come from the asset and cannot be added, renamed or removed there. The values stay per variable, overrides on placed objects still work. - Pack and Expand get the setting Type. With a type their ports are the fields of the asset and read-only in the inspector. - A change to the asset reaches every typed place in one undo step (syncStructTypes). A new field arrives with its default. A removed field goes along with its port, edge and typed value. A renamed field keeps its value in variables, overrides and on ports with edges, also through nested types. - Undo for these edits records plain assignments (Recorder), because the reach of a change is not known in advance. - Cycles such as Loot in Loot, also through another type, are refused and not offered in the picker. - Deleting the asset names how many places use it. Afterwards each place keeps its fields as its own. - Loading reshapes a stale copy in a project file to its type. - "Make struct type" creates an asset from an existing struct and links the place to it. Differs from the plan: - A changed default value applies to new fields and newly typed places only. Existing values stay. - Removing a single field shows no warning. Undo brings it back. Typed lists are left for #254. Lists stay dynamic for now. Found by e2e: after deleting or renaming the type the inspector did not rebuild and kept showing the old name. Fixed, the check was red before. Tests: - ./check.sh: 182 files, 2661 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 - GM_STEPS=1,4,21,22,54: ALL PASSED, 176 checks - 14 unit tests in tests/core/struct-types.test.ts - New e2e module 54 with 14 checks, real mouse. Module 04 counts 23 asset types. - Counter-probes: without the rename pass 4 unit tests fail, without reshaping values 8, without the cycle rule 1. In the browser, without spreading changes and with + Field despite a type, 3 checks fail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Build your own easing curve and use it on keys and Lerp (#247)
The built-in eases cover the usual shapes, but a game often wants its own: a coin that bounces twice, a door that overshoots and settles. A new asset type holds such a curve, and keys and the Lerp node can pick it instead of a built-in ease. - New asset type "curve": points like in Vector art, x is t and y is the value. A new curve is the straight line from (0, 0) to (1, 1). - One pure evaluation in src/core/model/curve.ts serves the timeline preview, the running game and the Lerp node. - The curve always has one value per t. The end points stay at t 0 and 1, points cannot pass each other, and a handle that reaches past its neighbour is shortened along its direction. Loading a hand-edited file applies the same rules. - Curve tab: click on the line to insert a point that keeps the shape, click on free space to put one there, drag points and handles, double-click or Delete removes, Alt-click toggles round and sharp. Every step is one undo step. - Presets: all 30 built-in eases plus Linear, fitted with adaptive subdivision. Each stays within 0.4 % of the built-in ease. - Preview: a dot runs along the curve once a second, a second dot shows only the value. The Preview button stops it. - Animation keys get "Curve" under Easing with a curve picker. Lerp gets "Curve" under Ease, and its result may overshoot b. - A missing or unpicked curve runs linear. The inspector says so, the node shows it as a problem, and deleting a used curve warns with the number of keys and Lerp nodes. Tests: - ./check.sh: 180 files, 2612 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 - GM_STEPS=1-6,25,53: ALL PASSED, 309 checks - New e2e module 53 with 13 checks, all with the real mouse. Expected values come from its own Bezier evaluation. - Counter-checks bite: without Bezier evaluation 4 unit tests fail, without handle clamping 2. In the browser, a key that cannot find its curve, a click that sets no point and a handle drag that moves the point all turn checks red. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Let structs and lists hold objects across behavior runs (#238)
An object could only live in a dedicated object variable, kept in slots
beside the variable bag. Struct fields and list items could not hold
one, so a spawned object packed into a struct or list was lost. This
replaces the slots with one mechanism for all three places.
- "No object" has one resting form everywhere: {"$object": ""}. A
running game can tell an object slot from an empty text that way.
- During play the object handle lives directly in the value, also
nested in structs and lists. objectSlots.ts and the special paths for
Keep and Properties are gone.
- liveObjects.ts strips objects to (null) at every exit: overrides the
editor run writes back to the scene, saved values of persistent
Variables assets, live values in the inspector, and the world
snapshot of the test hooks (objects as names there).
- A destroyed object reads as (null) through isAlive, alone, in a
struct field or as a list item.
- "+ Field" and "+ Item" offer Object. The inspector and the list tab
show a fixed (null) row without input.
- Lists from Raycast all stay objects when written to a variable.
Before they turned into names.
- A struct that only changes by an object writes no override. A list
that grows by an object writes [(null)], its length really changed.

Let a nested behavior without a start node run from On start (#230)
A behavior built as a plain behavior, with On start and no Behavior start, did nothing when another behavior called it through Run behavior. The node only showed a warning. Such a behavior should run as a call too, without the author having to rebuild its entry. - New callEntries() in nested.ts returns the Behavior start node or, when there is none, every On start node. callProblem uses it too. - GraphInterpreter.call() follows all entries one after the other, in graph order, in the same frame and with the same variables. - Behavior end still returns what reaches it. A call through On start has no inputs, because only the start node declares them. - It is a fallback only. With a Behavior start present, On start nodes stay out of the call. - The node warning now reads "No start or On start node - does nothing" and only shows when neither exists. - Keep and local state machines behave as before. Tests: - ./check.sh: 163 files, 2396 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2392). - 4 new unit tests in tests/core/nested-behavior.test.ts: the flow after On start runs, the return value arrives, several On start nodes run in graph order, a start node keeps On start out. - e2e 19: ALL PASSED, 35 checks. Only the expected warning text changed, the check sum stays at 1385. - Counter-checks: without the fallback 3 tests fail. With only the first On start exactly the order test fails.

Let each variable of a behavior choose whether calls keep it (#229)
The first version of #229 put a Keep state switch on the Run behavior node. The user wanted it where the variable is declared instead. Whether a value lives on belongs to the variable, not to every call site. - The node switch keepState is gone again. RunBehavior, CallResult and nested.ts are back to what they were before #229. - BehaviorAsset.keptVariables lists the kept names. It lives on the asset and not in PropertyDef, because that is the schema of every inspector row. - A variable added from now on starts with Keep on. Variables in existing projects start with Keep off, so old projects run unchanged. - SetVariableKeptCommand flips the switch as one undo step. Add, remove and rename carry the list along. Loading drops names that are not declared. - The interpreter keeps only the listed variables, per Run behavior node and per object as before. The others start at their defaults. - Local state machines in a called behavior start empty on every call again, as before #229. Global and scene machines are unchanged. - The inspector shows a Keep button in each variable row of a behavior. Its state is part of the asset signature, so a click redraws the row. Without that the button kept its old look until the inspector was reopened. Found: the project Garden of Sacrifices still has keepState = true on the call Player -> Character Movement. It is ignored now. Direction there predates the switch, so Keep is off until set by hand. Tests: - ./check.sh: 163 files, 2392 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2388) - tests/core/keep-state.test.ts rewritten, 15 tests - e2e 19: ALL PASSED, 35 checks. 19c-ii now clicks the Keep button of a new variable: on when added, off by a click, on again, off after undo. - Counter-checks, each fails its own test: keep list ignored (2), states kept (1), new variable not kept (8), rename drops the list (1), no Keep button (e2e 19c-ii).

Let a nested behavior keep its variables between calls (#229)
A Run behavior call started with fresh variables every time, so a nested behavior could not count, remember or keep a local state machine across calls. A new "Keep state" switch on the node lets the callee resume where its last call left off. It is off by default, so existing projects run unchanged. - RunBehavior gets the boolean parameter keepState and its node description explains it. - GraphInterpreter keeps the state in keptCalls, keyed by the call path, the chain of Run behavior nodes. Two nodes calling the same behavior each keep their own state. - One interpreter exists per behavior instance, so every object gets its own state without further code. - Local state machines of the callee are kept like its variables. - resumedVariables() matches kept values against today's declarations. A new variable starts at its default, a removed one drops out, and one whose kind changed starts over. - The kept state lives as long as the object in the run. It is not written to save games. Limit: a callee input named keepState collides with the switch. The same already holds for the name behavior, so it is not caught. Tests: - ./check.sh: 163 files, 2388 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2377) - 10 new unit tests in tests/core/keep-state.test.ts and 1 new node catalog case. - e2e 19: ALL PASSED, 35 checks, with the new check 19c-ii for the checkbox, its click and undo. - Counter probes: ignoring keepState fails 5 tests, state per behavior instead of per node fails 1, dropping the outer path fails 1, skipping the kind check fails 1, and without the node parameter the e2e check fails.

Refactoring round 6: shared sheet canvas, fewer copies (#85)
Recurring cleanup round. Behaviour is unchanged. Duplicated code in
src went from 27 clones with 299 lines to 6 clones with 56 lines
(jscpd, the two identical OFL licence texts not counted).
- SheetCanvas is the new base of the texture, pixel art and vector art
canvases. It holds background, mask, hint, panning, wheel zoom, fit,
view save and restore and the screen mapping. Pixel art keeps its
whole-pixel panning and fixed zoom steps.
- mixColor in src/core/util/color.ts replaces three copies in
animation, gradient and particles. It clamps t like the particle one.
- fingerprint now lives once in generated.ts, next to the revision
contract from #185.
- MoveCommand next to RenameCommand is the base of the three reorder
commands for tile pictures, tilemap layers and vector shapes.
- The two raycast nodes share inputs, settings and filter via rayOf.
- canvasRect() lives once in AssetTabEditor.
- Removed unused code: findPixelArt, isDrawableShape,
GeneratedPictures.has and SnapToggle.snapping. Tests now check the
same things through equivalent paths.
- 38 values used only in their own file lost their export.
- Three comments that told history now describe the current state.
The bundle stayed md5-identical for those edits.
- README lists vector art, pixel art and palette, and links the two
wiki pages.
Findings:
- PaintTilesCommand.changes is meant to prevent empty undo steps but
has not been called since #128. The rectangle tool therefore records
a no-op undo step when it paints the same tile over itself. Left as
is, because fixing it changes behaviour.
- No test covered middle-click panning in any sheet tab before. 13f
and 48a now check it.
- The default values of the ray inputs were untested. Length 1000
could become 10 without a red test. tests/core/raycast.test.ts now
covers it.
- CI measured 1308 editor checks at

A port can take its type from what is plugged into it (#207)
Until now every port of "First not empty" was grey and typeless, so the
editor could not tell you what actually travels through the node. The
output is now typed as soon as both inputs agree, and every any-input is
painted in the colour of its own edge. Nothing changes at runtime.
- A NodeDef can declare which of its ports carry the same value
(`sharedType: { inputs, outputs }`). The rule itself lives as a pure
function `agreedType` in `src/core/graph/portTypes.ts`.
- Only the output inherits. It becomes the shared type when every input
of the group is connected and they all carry the same type, otherwise
it stays `any`.
- The inputs stay `any` on purpose. `canConnect` checks against the port
type and a busy input is replaced by the new edge, so a typed `a`
could never be re-plugged with a text without disconnecting first.
- Chains do not propagate. When looking up what feeds an input, a node
of the same kind reports the `any` it is registered with, so two of
them in a row stay untyped and a data cycle cannot ask itself in a
circle.
- An edge that the new type makes invalid stays where it is and turns
red. `EdgeLayer` already paints a mismatching edge with `danger`,
nothing is disconnected on its own.
- New `PortDef.paintType`: colour only, never truth. It is set in
`drawnDef` and read in `NodeView.redraw`, so `canConnect`, the
interpreter and the compiler keep seeing `any`. Every connected
any-input is painted, not just members of a `sharedType` group; ghost
ports keep their hollow red look.
- The pin now matches the edge that ends in it, because both take the
colour from the resolved output type of the neighbour. Mixed sources
therefore show two colours, which explains why the output stays grey.
- New hooks `__gm.graph.portTypes(id)`, `__gm.graph.edgeColor(id)` and
`__gm.themeColor(name)`. `portTypes` reports type and paint colour
separately so the type checks do not silently become colour checks.
Findings:
- `resolveDef` only appends derived ports to the registered ones, so a
fixed port cannot be retyped that way -- it would appear twice. The
shared type is therefore resolved before the ports are built.
- Answer 5 of the issue (inline field follows the type) has no case left
under variant A: an unconnected input stays `any` and keeps its text
field.
- `Item at`, `Join` and `Equals` do not profit: `Item at` has no
any-input, the other two have fixed outputs. The next candidates are
the shader arithmetic nodes, which were left alone.
Tests:
- ./check.sh -> 143 files, 2127 tests, exit 0 (was 142 / 2113)
- GM_STEPS=1-6 fresh -> ALL PASSED, 245 checks (was 242), 9 of them new
- 14 new unit tests in tests/core/shared-port-type.test.ts
- 9 new e2e checks in block 6z, one of them a pixel check straight on
the pin via pixelAt + themeColor
- Counter-probes all bite: filtering unconnected inputs out of
`agreedType` fails 3 unit tests, ignoring `inherit` fails 1, killing
the derivation in the bundle fails exactly the 2 expected e2e checks,
and never setting `paintType` fails 4 unit tests plus the 3 pin
checks (#bdbdbd instead of #e6a8ff / #6fcf97)
- Screenshot read: `a` pink, `b` green, output `value` grey, edges in
the same colours
- Check total 1302 (1299 + 3), 1293 was measured by CI at

A shared value belongs to no behavior, so it becomes an asset of its own (#91)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m59s
This reverses the design of the previous commit. `PropertyDef.scope` is gone without replacement: a behavior variable is an object property again, without exception, and sharing is something you point at rather than something you declare twice. A **Variables asset** is declarations and nothing else -- no graph, no position, never placed, no tab of its own (`TAB_OF_ASSET` is already `Partial<>`, so that costs no line). A `Variables` node names one through its new `variablesAsset` setting, empty meaning the behavior's own variables as before, and then reads and writes one value per key for the whole run. Its property list follows the chosen source, which was the actual request: a value another graph declared is now offerable, where before every participant had to declare the name itself. That deletes more than it adds (-72 lines net): `globalConflicts` and its run-stopping kind clash, `SetVariableScopeCommand`, the scope picker, both object-inspector filters and the "shared by the whole run" note on the placed object. A typo is no longer a silent second variable -- naming an asset is picking from a list. And two Variables assets may carry the same key without meeting, because the asset is the key, not the name. The one shape it copies is the one that already existed: `Set state` picks its machine the same way. Lifetime is unchanged. The bag is built at `BehaviorSystem.start()` from the declarations and never written back, so playing in the editor cannot change the project -- which is the whole reason a counter must not be an object property (`World.syncToModel` would `commit()` it, and the coin counter would stand at 7 for good). Full symmetry across that gap, without mirroring anything. Two named wires: `Inspector.liveVariables` shows the values as they stand while a run is on and falls back to the declarations when it ends, and `adoptDeclarations()` takes a key into the run *only where the document changed it since the last sync*. Without that condition any unrelated project edit would snap a running counter back to its starting value; a counter-test bends exactly that and falls over. Nothing was ever cached, incidentally: `GraphInterpreter` only pulse-caches nodes without a `read`, and the variable node has one. The wire was missing. The state machine `Scope` row is now an ordinary `enum` row through `createFieldRow`. It was hand-built from an `HStack` with a ghost dropdown and began ~34px left of every value above it; the explanations beside `Local` and `Global` are gone from the menu, the sentence below the row keeps saying it. Machine scope is otherwise untouched -- `StateMachineAsset.scope`, `SetMachineScopeCommand`, `stateBag()` and its persistence all stand, so #59 stays closed as built and `Scope` as a type now carries machines alone. Six counter-proofs, each biting at its own guard. One of them did not bite at first: the suggestion list was computed twice, in `nodeSection` and `portSection`, so only the browser test covered the request itself. It is one named function now, `variableChoices`, with a unit test of its own. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

An edge to a vanished port needs a handle, so the port stays as a ghost (#60)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m7s
Four ways erase a derived port and take no edge with them: deleting a state, deleting the `State machine` literal, deleting `Behavior start`/`end`, deleting the asset. The common cause is `RemoveNodeCommand` clearing only its own graph, so the fix sits in `drawnDef` (graph/nested.ts) and touches no delete site. A right-click on an edge goes through `view.portAt` only — there is no curve hit-test. Without a port row such an edge is not merely invisible, it is unreachable, so the ghost row is the handle Disconnect hangs on. `resolveDef` stays untouched: it is the truth for interpreter, compiler, ConnectCommand and dropTarget, so nothing runs or connects through a ghost without a second guard. |

State machines: asset, tab, State branch and Set state nodes (#51)
A state machine is an asset whose graph holds one `State` node per state (no ports, name as title), edited in a new "State machine" tab that reuses the graph canvas: right-click places "State n", snap toggle shared with the Behavior tab via SnapToggle. `statemachine` is a value kind like texture (port, literal node, variable, struct field, tagged list item). Behaviors use it through `State branch` (one exec output per state) and `Set state` (one exec input per state; the interpreter now hands `run` the entry port). States live per behavior instance in NodeContext.states, with no initial state. Ports derive from the inline picker or a wired `State machine` literal; BehaviorLookup became GraphLookup with behavior(id) and machine(id). The Graph tab is labelled "Behavior" (key unchanged). Unit tests (state-machine, kinds, catalog, ports), e2e step 26 and README added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Describe every value kind in one table instead of spreading it over the code
A kind like colour or texture used to be spelled out in five parallel lists, its port type, its empty value, its glyph, its label and its list tag - 22 literal places for texture alone. core/properties/kinds.ts now holds one row per kind and the rest is derived from it, so adding a kind is one row. The five literal nodes collapse into literals.ts, the six kind menus into one helper. Number, Text, Boolean is now the one order everywhere; the variable and port menus used to list Boolean before Text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Make texture and colour full kinds and drop the load-time migrations
- `Texture` and `Color` can be picked as a variable kind, a struct field kind and a declared port kind; a new `Texture` node hands a picture id into the graph. Declared, a texture is its bare id – the `$texture` tag stays a list-only thing. - The `String` node is labelled "Text" like its kind; the type id stays. - Whole-number inputs (`Item at`, `Set item`, `Sub list`, `Fill`, `Repeat`, `Substring`, `To text`) show no decimals (`int()` in shared.ts). - All server projects are reseeded, so `legacyNodes.ts`, `migrateDeclaredLists` and the `ownerId` fallback go, with their tests. - Note `reseed-because-of-list` moved to done/; new note `refactor-types`.

Title a collapsed Variables or Properties node by what it does

Replace the property nodes with one Properties node
Get/Set property, Get/Set properties, Set enabled and Set text are gone. A single Properties node takes a fixed "object" input; every chosen property is an output that reads the current value, and one switched to Set is also an input written when the flow arrives. Exec pins only exist while at least one entry writes. The node carries a type (Sprite, Text, Collider, Camera, Container, Behavior, Any) that decides what "+ Property" offers: the fields of that type, the variables of the chosen behavior, or for Any a kind to pick and a name to type. Each port takes the default and field of its type, so a Camera width starts at 640. Switching the type keeps the ports and marks those the new type lacks. At runtime the type is only an editor aid; the node writes to whatever object it gets. Old project files are converted on load. The type is inferred from the keys: the first object type that has them all, else the one behavior that declares them all, else Any. enabled belongs to every object, so a converted Set enabled lands on Any. The jump-run and tetris seeders use Properties throughout; draw-piece switches its cell on in the same node that sets the colour. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Replace the five variable nodes with one Variables node
A single node now lists any number of variables. Every entry is an output that reads the current value whenever it is pulled; an entry switched to Set is also an input and is written when the flow arrives. Exec pins only exist while at least one entry writes, and all inputs are read before any write, so one node can swap two variables. Get/Set variable, Get/Set variables and Variable are gone. Old project files are converted on load: each old node becomes a Variables node with the same variables, edges and typed values. A written port without a typed value now shows the zero of its kind on the node body, matching what the inspector shows and what the run writes.

Add Get/Set properties nodes and a breadcrumb for opened sub-behaviors
Get properties / Set properties work like their variable counterparts:
one port per chosen property, an unconnected input writes its inline
value. A port chosen from the built-in list keeps that property's field
and default (height starts at 100, color is a colour field). "object" is
reserved for the fixed input, checked by the command and on load.
The property picker names the owning type ("Sprite width"), and text
fields can now carry a suggestion list; Get/Set property use it.
Double-clicking a call node shows the path of opened behaviors under the
graph header. Clicking an entry jumps back and trims the path; choosing
a behavior any other way hides it. Reopening a behavior already on the
path steps back to it instead of repeating it. The bar shows before the
graph switches, otherwise it clips the graph that was just fitted.
The "Add node..." header button is gone; nodes come from the context menu.

Consolidate duplicated editor code, trim comments, refresh README
Split GraphCanvas (1076 -> 831 lines) into EdgeLayer and graphMenus; the port and marker menus were the same list and are now one function. Value specs of the inspector and the list tab share valueSpecs.ts, and the remaining copies (compound commands, type glyphs, typed asset lookup, name rule, play/editor world setup, marquee) are merged. Four copies had already drifted apart; merging them fixes: - "Disconnect N links" in the port menu is one undo step, not N - "+ Add collider" is hidden on a placed container instance, as in the hierarchy menu, instead of always failing - a bool property coerced from the text "false" becomes false - a port command on an unknown node type reports instead of crashing Comment-only edits leave the bundle byte-identical.

Let a list hold structs, and read or write variables in bundles
A list item may now be a struct. The depth is bounded in the declaration
rather than by a comment: FieldKind (number|text|boolean|color) says what a
struct field holds, ListItemKind adds struct on top and says what a list
holds, so list -> struct -> primitive is the deepest storable shape and
sameValue stays finite. A struct item renders inline in the List tab, which
is why it needs no path in the slot address.
Four paths silently assumed a list item was a primitive: sameValue compared
items with ===, textOf would have printed [object Object], asListItem turned
a struct into text on Set item and Fill, and Index of used indexOf, which is
reference equality and could never have found a struct.
Tetris now runs on bundles. shapes is 112 {x, y} structs instead of 224 loose
numbers, piece and the candidate are structs, so Next move hands back a whole
candidate and each strand packs only the field it changes, since mergeStruct
leaves the rest standing. Declared behavior ports drop 49 -> 35, the master's
variables 18 -> 13, its graph 84/94 -> 69/76 nodes/edges.
Get variables and Set variables declare their ports from a list of variable
names, the way Pack and Expand already do, so one node can read or write
several at once. Renaming a variable rewires them, because there the port key
is the variable name.

Let a Sequence grow an output as you connect the last one
The Outputs setting is gone. A Sequence now keeps one free output below the last connected one: nothing plugged in is one output, connecting the spare grows a new one, unplugging the bottom edge shrinks it back. It counts the last *connected* port rather than the number of edges, so unplugging a middle one leaves a gap instead of silently dropping an edge. Removing the setting also removes a bug it caused. Typing in the Outputs field did nothing and the arrow keys did nothing, while dragging the value worked: onInput fires per keystroke, the preview writes into node.params, that emits 'project', and Inspector.refreshValues() sees the node's signature change -- the port list is part of it -- so it rebuilds and destroys the row being typed in. A drag survives because it keeps receiving globalpointermove on the old widget. refreshValues() has no focus guard where refreshLive() does; the trap is still there for the next typed field that changes a node's shape. Ports that depend on the edges around a node mean derivePorts needs the graph, not just the params, so resolveDef and portSignature take it too. And a node whose ports are derived cannot know how many it has from its type, so run is handed the definition resolved for it. |

Let a node work out its own ports
Ports that vary per node already existed, but only for the three nested-behavior
types, and the rule for them sat as a switch on type names in nested.ts – the
one place in the project that knew node types by name. It dissolves into two
optional contracts on NodeDef, so a type carries its own rule:
declaresPorts the node holds an editable list, shown as a section in the
inspector – behavior start/end, and now Pack/Expand
derivePorts the node computes them from its settings – Sequence from a
count, Run behavior from the behavior it names
Sequence gains an Outputs setting (2 to 26). Its keys stay a, b, c and count on
with d, e, so the edges of the sequences already out there survive.
A param can now take a port away, and the edge on it would stay: it draws as
nothing yet survives every save, and comes back to life if the port returns.
SetNodeParamCommand takes those edges with it, which also closes the same leak
that switching a Run behavior node's target has always had.
The port editor addresses its node by id rather than by type, so two Pack nodes
can live in one graph, and it calls the rows Fields when they are not a
behavior's signature.

Let a value be a bundle of named fields
PropertyValue was number | string | boolean | list. A struct joins it, which costs two things the typechecker found rather than I did. An object on a data edge used to mean a live entity, so asEntity would have taken a struct for one and asString would have read .name off it. EntityHandle now carries a symbol brand – a symbol so no field name can impersonate it, and it never serializes, which suits a thing that exists only while the game runs. It is built in exactly one place. String(value) would have written a struct as [object Object] at 39 call sites. They go through textOf(), which is identical for primitives. normalizeGraph dropped everything but primitives from node params, so the List node lost its value on every save ([3,1,4] round-tripped to undefined). Variables were spared: they have a schema, params have none. |

Make a call node say why it does nothing, and easier to place
A behavior node that cannot run looked exactly like a healthy one: no start node, no behavior picked, a deleted behavior or a self-call were all silently skipped. The call still had to be forgiving at runtime -- a dangling reference must not abort a game -- so the fix is diagnosis, not an exception: describeProblem() names the one reason, the node draws it in red under its title, and the inspector repeats it where you pick the behavior. A missing end node is deliberately not a problem: a call is always synchronous, and the end node only decides which values come back. Two ways in: a behavior dragged from the asset panel lands in the graph under the pointer, and double-clicking a call node opens the graph it runs. Both reuse machinery that already existed -- the asset panel already starts the drag, and list views already report double clicks. The e2e module needed its assets at the head of the asset list: after 18 modules the list is long enough that a newly appended row scrolls out of view, and the press then lands on the panel behind it, starting no drag at all. That looked exactly like a rejected drop and cost two full runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Let a behavior be a node in another graph
A behavior that has a Start and an End node can now be dropped into any other graph as a node of its own. What is declared on the start node becomes the inputs of that node, what hangs on the end node its outputs; the port list is derived from the sub graph, not copied, so declaring a port in one graph grows the node in the other without touching it. The node carries the behavior's name and the palette lists behaviors by name, so a call is one grab instead of a node plus a dropdown. An embedded behavior has no object and therefore no place for variables: every call starts on the asset defaults and communicates only through its ports. That is the conservative direction - state can still be added later, and shared state already has a home in a behavior object in the scene. Node ids are unique per graph only, so each call gets its own pulse cache; without that, two graphs would collide. Renaming a port used to silently drop the value typed on the calling node. It is carried along now, project wide, like the edges. |
