adminandClaude Opus 5 ad2a2d7921 Clicks in the scene view pick what is drawn under the cursor (#203) 
Pixi's own hit test decided what a click in the scene view selected.
A tilemap caught clicks over its whole area, even on empty cells and
over sprites sorted above one of its layers. A press always grabbed
the topmost object, so a hidden selected object could not be dragged,
and there was no way to reach an object underneath another one.

- New pure rule in src/viewport/pick.ts. It lists the objects under
  the cursor front to back, in the order they are drawn.
- A tilemap counts only where it has a tile. Its depth there is the Z
  of the highest layer with a tile at that spot. An empty cell is
  empty space, so a click clears the selection or starts a marquee.
- Pressing on any selected object, hidden ones included, drags the
  selection. Otherwise the press selects the topmost object and drags
  it, as before.
- A click without drag on a selected object selects the next one
  underneath. After the lowest it starts again at the top.
- New debug hook __gm.sceneStack(x, y) returns that list.

Decisions:
- With a paint tool the selected tilemap paints anywhere on its grid,
  even under a sprite. With empty cells as empty space an empty cell
  could not be painted otherwise.
- Icons such as colliders and cameras stay in front. A second click
  now reaches the sprite under a collider.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 142 files, 2090 tests, exit 0 (was 141 / 2080)
- 10 new unit tests in tests/viewport/pick.test.ts
- GM_STEPS=39,40: ALL PASSED, 77 checks
- GM_STEPS=1-16,29,39-43: ALL PASSED, 626 checks
- 4 new checks in block 40q: sprite over a lower layer, empty cell,
  cycling crate, map, crate, dragging the hidden selected crate.
- Counter test: whole-area tilemap hits and always-topmost presses
  fail 4 unit tests and all 4 new checks.
- Check total 1290 (1286 + 4), computed, not yet counted by CI.

# 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.

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, collider, rigidbody,
container, texture, font, sound, animation, state machine, shader, particles, variables, tile,
tilemap) 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.
## 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, 1290 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 runner – 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).
