Soften a shader's picture in one pass with a Blur node (#300) 
A blur already worked with Sample texture, but only by wiring every
sample by hand: 25 nodes for a 5x5. Averaging their colours also gave
a dark seam wherever a neighbour was transparent. The Blur node writes
the loop itself and averages the right way.

- Blur takes radius (pixels of the picture, 0 to 8, fractions allowed)
  and u/v like Sample texture, and gives color and alpha.
- Kind is Box (default) or Gaussian, Direction is Both, Horizontal or
  Vertical. Both are arguments of one prelude helper, blur().
- The samples are averaged premultiplied and only then made straight,
  so a transparent neighbour lowers the opacity and adds no black.
- The outermost ring counts by the part of the radius that reaches
  it, so a radius from a Property changes smoothly and compiles
  nothing again.
- A node may now declare prepare, a vec4 the compiler works out once
  into a local. Color and alpha read that one sum instead of blurring
  twice.
- A reached Blur counts as a shifted sample, so the picture comes
  with the Output's Edge. It cannot feed the Vertex output.
- Both perf tools take GM_PERF_BLUR=<radius>.

Wider blurs and bloom need several passes. That is #301.

Measured on stein2 (HD 630, one run per value, fps), Box blur:
- 48x48 sprites at 100/400/800: radius 2 59.8/58.4/55.6,
  radius 4 53.1/51.4/36.3, radius 8 46.6/24.4/14.4.
- 256x256 field shaders at 1/10/50: radius 2 60.2/56.0/49.0,
  radius 4 60.1/49.0/27.1, radius 8 52.4/34.9/11.4.

Tests:
- Gate: 224 files, 3467 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+7).
- e2e 28: ALL PASSED, 94 checks (+5 in 28l-vi). Pixels match the
  arithmetic to 1: the last red texel at radius 0.5/1/4 reads
  187/173/154 (expected 188/173/154).
- Counter-checks: Blur not counted as shifted fails 1 unit test.
  Blur output left premultiplied fails the seam and spot checks.
- e2e total 1712 is computed (1707 + 5).

# 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.
```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, 1712 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).
