Colliders take a frame's outline and tiles have their own surface (#193) 
Issue #193 asked where friction, bounciness and density of a tile
live. Tiles had a fixed surface (friction 0.5, bounciness 0) and a
collider could not use the outline drawn on a texture frame (#141).
Both gaps are closed here.

- A collider has a fifth shape "Frame collision" with a Frame row.
  The frame is picked like a sprite's texture and stored as the
  value 'frame'.
- The shape is linked, not copied. Redrawing the outline in the
  texture tab changes every collider using that frame, in the editor
  and on the next play.
- The frame centre sits on the collider origin, one image pixel is
  one unit. The shape turns, scales and mirrors like any other.
- Every outline ring blocks. Each ring is split into convex parts the
  same way a polygon is.
- Without a frame, with a whole texture or with a frame that has no
  outline, the collider is drawn red as a box and blocks nothing.
- Move, Rapier, raycast, detection, hit test, drawing and footprint
  all resolve the frame. At runtime an entity looks the frame up
  live in the current project.
- A tile has Friction and Bounciness next to Solid and One-way. The
  rows only show when Solid is on. Defaults and mixing rules match
  the collider. Density is left out because a tilemap never moves.
- Tilemap cells are grouped by surface as well as by one-way angle.
  Ice and stone never merge into one rectangle, and every cell brings
  its surface to Move and Rapier.

Findings:

- A tile with a collision scale below 1 is no longer flush with a
  neighbour of another surface. It is inset there like at an open
  side, the same as next to one-way tiles today.
- A bounce test first measured 0.84. The ball had landed on the hero
  at the origin, not on the tile. On the tile it measures 0.993.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 130 files, 1931 tests, exit 0 (was 129 / 1917).
- 14 new unit tests in tests/core/surface.test.ts. The Move tests run
  against the editor run and the physics system.
- 3 new e2e checks: 40l (surface rows follow Solid), 42e (collider
  has frame size, a walker climbs the slope in the frame).
- GM_STEPS=1-8,39-43 freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 376 checks.
- Three counter-probes bite: Move ignores the tile surface (2 fail),
  Rapier ignores it (1 fails), frame shape falls back to a box
  (5 fail).
- Check sum 1198 is computed (1195 + 3), the full run belongs to 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, 1198 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).
