adminandClaude Opus 5.5 774207208c Key a video to its end at 1x and zoom the timeline further out (#407) 
To play a clip at its real speed the user had to know its length,
work out the last whole frame by hand and then scroll far to the
right to set the end key. The timeline now does the sum, and it
zooms out far enough to see a long clip in one piece.

- The context menu of a Video time row gets "Video at 1x to its end
  from frame N". It keys the playhead with the row's value there and
  the last whole frame before the clip ends with the matching time.
- The start key turns linear and keys in between are removed. The
  whole run is one undo step (KeyStraightRunCommand).
- The clip is the one the sprite wears at the playhead, also when
  the texture is keyed in the same animation (rowVideoAt).
- The entry is greyed out for relative rows, without a video, while
  the length is unknown, or when the playhead is already at the end.
- The status line names the result, e.g. "frame 572 shows 57.2 s of
  57.27 s".
- The timeline zooms out to 0.02 px per frame instead of 4 px. The
  ruler labels follow a 1-2-5 step without an upper limit.

Tests:
- Unit video-clock + timeline-view: 27 tests green, 8 new
- e2e 66 (atx, alone): ALL PASSED, 23 checks, 66l new
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 297 files, 4553 tests
- Counter-check: the command keeping the keys in between turns
  exactly the command test red

# Game Maker
[![game-maker](https://git.nockal.com/meleki/game-maker/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://git.nockal.com/meleki/game-maker/actions?workflow=ci.yml)
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.

Live: <https://nockal.com/game-maker/> · Widget playground: <https://nockal.com/game-maker/?playground>
**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, variables, struct,
collider, rigidbody, joint, container, clip area, texture, vector art, pixel art, palette,
animation, curve, tile, tilemap, state machine, shader, shader function, font, sound, sound FX,
instrument, pattern, song, bus, particles) 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.
- An **account** owns projects: the editor asks for a user name and a password first, and each
account sees only its own projects. The Account menu at the far right of the toolbar changes
the password and signs out.
- **Play** runs a throwaway copy of the project; every panel stays usable and Stop brings back
exactly what was saved. **Release…** shares a link that plays the saved game on its own, without
the editor and without signing in.
## 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, 2000 checks (GM_STEPS=20 for one step)
# every tool signs in first – see the Accounts page
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 runners – the gate as one job, build and suite as another
beside it – 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
[Development](https://git.nockal.com/meleki/game-maker/wiki/Development).
