adminandClaude Opus 5.5

#179 decided that nobody deletes a project on someone else's behalf. The API still let an administrator do it, because the admin store treated every project as its own. Option A from the issue is now in place: opening, editing, snapshots and release stay open to the administrator, deleting stays with the owner. - Store::delete checks the owner under the save lock and throws NotOwnerException for anyone else. It follows the pattern of StaleRevisionException. - The route answers that with 403 "Only its owner may delete a project". A file without an owner is covered the same way. Non-admins still get 404 for a project that is not theirs. - The editor has no way to delete a foreign project, the project picker lists only one's own. Nothing changes there. - An account that owns projects can no longer be deleted by an administrator at all. Its owner has to delete them first. - e2e 49 deleted the throwaway projects as administrator, both in its sweep and in 49i. It now signs in as the owner for that. 49i checks both answers. Tests: - tests/php/accounts.test.php: 56 checks passed (was 52, one check turned around, five new) - e2e 49: 22 checks passed (was 21), deleteByAdmin 403, deleteByOwner 204 - Gate: 197 files, 2855 tests passed - Counter-checks: without the owner check 4 PHP checks and 49i fail - The e2e total of 1603 is computed (1602 + 1), not measured Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <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.
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, container, clip area, texture, vector art, pixel art, palette, animation, curve, tile, tilemap, state machine, shader, font, sound, 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.
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:
node tools/seed-e2e.mjs && node tools/e2e.mjs # the editor, 1603 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.
