Issue #193 asked where friction, bounciness and density of a tile
live. Tiles had a fixed surface (friction 0.5, bounciness 0) and a
collider could not use the outline drawn on a texture frame (#141).
Both gaps are closed here.
- A collider has a fifth shape "Frame collision" with a Frame row.
The frame is picked like a sprite's texture and stored as the
value 'frame'.
- The shape is linked, not copied. Redrawing the outline in the
texture tab changes every collider using that frame, in the editor
and on the next play.
- The frame centre sits on the collider origin, one image pixel is
one unit. The shape turns, scales and mirrors like any other.
- Every outline ring blocks. Each ring is split into convex parts the
same way a polygon is.
- Without a frame, with a whole texture or with a frame that has no
outline, the collider is drawn red as a box and blocks nothing.
- Move, Rapier, raycast, detection, hit test, drawing and footprint
all resolve the frame. At runtime an entity looks the frame up
live in the current project.
- A tile has Friction and Bounciness next to Solid and One-way. The
rows only show when Solid is on. Defaults and mixing rules match
the collider. Density is left out because a tilemap never moves.
- Tilemap cells are grouped by surface as well as by one-way angle.
Ice and stone never merge into one rectangle, and every cell brings
its surface to Move and Rapier.
Findings:
- A tile with a collision scale below 1 is no longer flush with a
neighbour of another surface. It is inset there like at an open
side, the same as next to one-way tiles today.
- A bounce test first measured 0.84. The ball had landed on the hero
at the origin, not on the tile. On the tile it measures 0.993.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 130 files, 1931 tests, exit 0 (was 129 / 1917).
- 14 new unit tests in tests/core/surface.test.ts. The Move tests run
against the editor run and the physics system.
- 3 new e2e checks: 40l (surface rows follow Solid), 42e (collider
has frame size, a walker climbs the slope in the frame).
- GM_STEPS=1-8,39-43 freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 376 checks.
- Three counter-probes bite: Move ignores the tile surface (2 fail),
Rapier ignores it (1 fails), frame shape falls back to a box
(5 fail).
- Check sum 1198 is computed (1195 + 3), the full run belongs to CI.

Behavior and Container draw an icon because isSymbolType() is true for them,
but that predicate does not mean "draws an icon" — it means "is editor
decoration". Four places read it that way: collectWorldItems, GameViewport.
collectFrame and syncDrawOrder all drop symbols out of the running world and
the game picture, and placementOf() gives them an upright unscaled box.
Listing 'particles' there would have handed the source an icon and taken away
its particles, in the scene view as well as in the game.
So the two questions are two functions now. hasSceneIcon() says a type draws
an icon; isSymbolType() keeps meaning decoration. The icon itself is a
SceneViewport decoration, which is editor-only for free because GameViewport
never syncs decorations.
A ring (r 10, #c26a1f) with four sparks, upright and unscaled like the other
symbols, its middle left open — unlike Behavior and Container a source draws
something of its own, and the field is densest exactly there. The name sits
beside it and a dashed line runs to the parent, same colour.
Found while writing the tests: the source's grab box scaled with its transform
while the icon did not, so the two came apart. placementOf() returns only the
translation for 'particles', making the box the upright 24 x 24 that covers
its icon. The source's own transform still feeds every particle untouched.
824 checks (821 + 3).

The asset type `particles` is placeable and carries a graph at the same time —
`behavior` was the blueprint. Because a continuous emitter gives birth to particle n
at time n/rate, the whole field is a function of the clock rather than of the frames:
no ring-buffer bookkeeping, exact time jumps, reproducibility as a measurable property.
compile.ts follows compileShader's frame but emits JS closures into a Float64Array
instead of GLSL, and without eval; a node with two consumers is evaluated once.
Drawing is one Pixi ParticleContainer per source, so one draw call.
Collision, wind and braking in flight are out for good — that is the price of the
formula model, not an omission.
The tab count goes from nine to ten, which is exactly the case #84 was built for one
day earlier: at 1280 px the row no longer holds every tab, so guard 14b now asks for
hidden.length > 0 instead of === 0.
Four new rows on sprite, text, collider and container (block TRANSFORM):
scale, rotation in degrees clockwise, mirrorX, mirrorY. As properties they
get override/reset/apply, loading of old projects, write-back after play and
the Properties node for free; camera and behavior have none.
The hierarchy composes T*R*S per level (composeAlongChain replaces
sumAlongChain), so children rotate and scale with their parent. Reparenting
and grouping keep the look (carriedTransform). Drawing goes through
placeNode, the gizmo is a polygon, cull and objectRect use the AABB, drags
are computed in the parent's system.
Colliders are oriented boxes: SAT for box/box, box-circle in the box frame;
exitDistance replaces axisSeparation/axisCorrection, moveAndSlide moves along
the object's own axes.

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.
Remove comments that only restate the code, keeping the section banners
and the notes that carry a reason, a measured fact or an external
contract.
ButtonOptions.width claimed to be a fixed width but only set minWidth,
so the Graph and Texture pickers grew with the name they showed. It is
now what it promises, with a separate minWidth for the buttons that have
two forms. Narrow buttons shrink their padding, otherwise a 24px icon
button had 8px left for its glyph and truncate dropped it entirely.
__gm.labelsDropped() guards that class: the overflow guard only saw text
that was too wide, never a label truncated to nothing.

Tooling:
- Prettier as the single formatting authority (110 columns, single quotes,
measured against the existing style); Markdown excluded because table-cell
padding turns the README glossary into 1000-character lines.
- Type-aware ESLint ending in eslint-config-prettier, so a rule always means
"this is a bug", never "this looks different".
- .editorconfig and an `npm run check` that runs typecheck, lint, format and
tests in one go.
Findings fixed on the first run: three more duplicate imports, four
String(unknown) calls (parameter types narrowed instead of casts), two dead
initialisers, two redundant casts, a console.log for a real error. Two
warnings were false here and are disabled with a reason in place.
Tests 132 -> 269:
- node-catalog.test.ts covers every node with a run(), with a guard that fails
when a new node has no row.
- behavior-events.test.ts covers the ten event nodes through a running World,
checking timing rather than existence.
- Input's state machine (press/release/releaseAll) is reachable without DOM
events now; the DOM handlers are thin adapters.
Compare fell back to == without a configured operator although the schema
default is <; aligned.

Engine additions that the example game needed:
- `enabled` as a shared property of every placeable asset (default on, an
override on the scene object). A switched-off object is not drawn, does not
collide and its behavior does not run - and neither does anything parented
below it. Disabled objects are now hidden in the scene view as well, so the
editor shows what the game shows; they stay in the hierarchy panel, which is
where they are selected and switched back on.
- Asset type `text` (text, fontSize, color, align), rendered in scene and game.
- Pointer input in the game view: `On click`, `Mouse position`, `Mouse button`,
`Is hovered`, hit-tested against colliders, else sprite/text footprints.
- New nodes: Set/Is enabled, Set text, Is asset, Name of, Equals, To text,
Join text, Floor/Ceil/Round, Modulo, Random, Time, Restart game.
Tooling: shared CDP harness (tools/harness.mjs), central project registry with
a guard that keeps destructive scripts off the playground (tools/projects.mjs),
plus smoke suites for the demo scene and the jump-and-run game.
