A frame drawn straight from the sheet showed a hairline of the neighbouring cell along any edge that fell inside a screen pixel: with antialias on, a partly covered pixel is still evaluated at its centre, past the edge. On top of that Pixi rewrites a Graphics fill texture from clamp-to-edge to repeat at draw time (generateTextureFillMatrix.mjs), so the top row of a sheet read its bottom row. TextureLibrary.get(ref) now cuts the rectangle out of the loaded sheet with an OffscreenCanvas on first use and uploads the cut (key file|x,y,w,h, kept for the session). Address mode is mirror-repeat: Pixi only rewrites clamp-to-edge, and within a texel of the border mirror behaves like clamp, for linear as well as nearest. Loaded sheets get it too, since whole pictures wrapped at their own borders the same way. viewport/textureFill.ts and its test are gone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Game Maker
|
||
|
||
A browser-based tool "one step before a game engine": create **assets** (scenes, cameras,
|
||
sprites), place them into scenes, tweak their properties in an inspector and press **Play** –
|
||
all in one program, all drawn inside a single WebGL canvas.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
**The documentation is the wiki:** <https://git.nockal.com/meleki/game-maker/wiki> – every concept,
|
||
node, tab and shortcut, plus the architecture and the development workflow. This file is the short
|
||
way in.
|
||
|
||
## In one screen
|
||
|
||
- An **asset** is a named, typed thing (scene, camera, sprite, text, behavior, collider, container,
|
||
texture, animation, state machine) with properties and no position.
|
||
- A **scene object** places an asset: position, sparse **overrides** of its properties, an optional
|
||
parent. Only what differs from the asset is stored; the inspector paints it gold and offers ↺ / ↑.
|
||
- A **container** is a reusable group edited once and placed many times; its content is resolved
|
||
from the template on every read. A **screen** is a container switched on and off.
|
||
- A **behavior** is logic as a node graph, placed like anything else and parented to the object it
|
||
acts on. Play has no built-in behaviour – everything that happens is a graph.
|
||
- **Play** runs a throwaway copy of the project; every panel stays usable and Stop brings back
|
||
exactly what was saved.
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
Node 22 is required.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install
|
||
npm run dev # http://localhost:5175/game-maker/dist/ – API calls are proxied to production
|
||
npm run check # typecheck + lint + format:check + unit tests – the gate CI runs too
|
||
npm run build # writes dist/ and regenerates index.html; the folder is what nginx serves
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The browser suite and the three example games need a machine with a GPU:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node tools/seed-e2e.mjs && node tools/e2e.mjs # the editor, 725 checks (GM_STEPS=20 for one step)
|
||
node tools/seed-jumprun.mjs && node tools/smoke-jumprun.mjs
|
||
node tools/seed-tetris.mjs && node tools/smoke-tetris.mjs
|
||
node tools/seed-actor.mjs && node tools/smoke-actor.mjs
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Every push runs all of it on the Gitea runner, so locally take the gate plus the step your change
|
||
touches and leave the full run to CI. Details, the GPU requirement and the detached runner are in
|
||
