A windowed action game can hide the OS cursor and lock/confine the mouse to the
window. Input.cursor_mode(mode): 0 normal, 1 hidden (draw your own reticle),
2 locked (hidden + dissociated — the mouse feeds relative motion via
Input.mouse_dx/dy and Input.mouse_x/y is a clamped virtual cursor, FPS/twin-stick
aim), 3 confined (dissociated but visible; the mouse can't leave the window).
The platform auto-releases (shows + reconnects) while the window is not key
(Cmd-Tab) and on close, so the cursor is never left captured. Headless it is a
no-op (DCE'd).
Native macOS impl in cocoa.ll: [NSCursor hide]/[unhide] (ref-counted, toggled
only on change so the count stays balanced across focus changes),
CGAssociateMouseAndMouseCursorPosition, and CGGetLastMouseDelta for the relative
virtual cursor, behind a new win_cursor_mode intrinsic. Windowed-only behaviour
(not in the headless golden suite); example compiles headless and links
windowed. Full suite 115/0, fixpoint holds.

The heart of Tiled support: load a map and draw it.
- rt_tmap model (Tmap/TmLayer/TmTileset in tiled.ludic): map header + ordered
layers (dense int32 GID arrays, heap-allocated to w*h, lifting the 96x64 cap)
+ tilesets. Built from the intermediate Value tree, so the TMX and TMJ paths
both feed it.
- GID resolver (Tiled.resolve): gid -> (tileset, localId, flipH/V/D); the three
flip flags masked off before the local-id lookup, returned alongside. gid==0
is empty.
- Image-backed render (Tiled.draw): every visible tile layer in file order,
blitting each tile from its tileset image with flips applied at draw.
- Compatibility projection (Tiled.project / auto on load): a designated
collision layer projects to the legacy byte tilemap ('#' solid, '=' one-way
via the oneway property, ' ' empty) so Grid.*/Path.*/esys_move are unchanged.
- Tiled.load resolves external tilesets + images relative to the map file and
auto-projects a collision/solids/walls layer.
- The grid and physics_tiles demos now run off a loaded map (grid_maze.tmx /
physics_map.tmx) instead of hand-authored Map.row strings, byte-identically.
Two compiler fixes fell out of this (see the changeset):
- emit_index_addr set g_addr_ty before evaluating the index, so slice[obj.field]
came back mis-typed; set it last, like the raw-pointer branches.
- @strcmp was declared by both the world table and the fs prelude; centralise
it in the head prelude so a game that uses Fs/Path links.
Proven by library/tiled_p1.ludic (14 assertions: loads+renders Kenney map
identically from .tmx and .tmj, flip mirroring) + the converted grid/
physics_tiles demos. x test: 92 passed; self-host bootstrap fixpoint intact.

Adds the Http.* namespace and its transport, the HTTP client from #6. The JSON
companion the proposal called for already shipped as Json.* (#44).
- runtime/native/http.ll: the macOS transport — NSURLConnection driven through
the objc runtime C ABI (no ObjC/C source), run on a detached pthread so the
frame never blocks; TLS is the system's, on by default. A fixed slot pool holds
each in-flight request; the worker publishes status/body/response behind an
atomic done flag (release/acquire). Spliced + Foundation linked only when a
program uses Http.*.
- runtime/native/http.ludic: the Http.* runtime — get/post/request, the
open/set/body/send builder, poll/status/ok/text/body_len/header/free, plus a
pure-Ludic response parser (Http.parse + case-insensitive header lookup) that
is transport-independent and portable.
- compiler: Http.* dispatch, g_uses_http splice, hs_* transport intrinsics +
declarations, the conditional Foundation link, and a new \r string/char escape
the protocol needs.
- docs: a full docs/language/http section (16 pages); check-impl/check-docs green.
- test: examples/library/http.ludic self-asserts the parser offline (Darwin-gated
build via the canonical path, since it links Foundation).
Verified end to end against real endpoints: HTTPS GET (200 + headers + body) and
POST (body + custom header). HTTP is out-of-band and never feeds the
deterministic sim. Reseeded; suites green (81 + 29).

Adds the Audio.* namespace and its platform backend, the audio subsystem #22 was
blocked on.
- runtime/native/audio.ll: the macOS backend, AVAudioPlayer driven through the
objc runtime C ABI (no ObjC/C source), same style as cocoa.ll — snd_load /
play / stop / playing / set_volume / set_rate. Spliced and linked with
AVFoundation only when a windowed build actually uses Audio.* (needed_framework,
since AVAudioPlayer is reached by name).
- runtime/native/audio.ludic: the Audio.* runtime — a handle table, master
volume/pitch, a single music channel. load/play/play_sound/play_music/stop/
stop_music/stop_all/volume/pitch/is_playing. Every native call is
is_windowed()-guarded, so a headless build carries the API as no-ops (load
returns 0, is_playing false) and needs no audio device.
- compiler: Audio.* namespace dispatch, g_uses_audio splice, snd_* intrinsics +
declarations, and the conditional AVFoundation link in both the canonical
(main.ludic) and dev-runner (x app) paths.
- docs: a full docs/language/audio section (10 method pages); check-impl green.
- test: examples/library/audio.ludic self-asserts the headless no-op path.
Playback is out-of-band and never feeds the deterministic sim, but triggers are
frame-driven so replays fire the same sounds. Reseeded; suites green (80 + 29).

Wire the macOS platform side of the #50 device layer, feeding the same state
buffers the read APIs consume — no API changes, purely OS glue.
- mouse: cocoa.ll reads the live cursor via mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream,
converted to framebuffer pixels and y-flipped, so windowed games get
Input.mouse_x/y without injection (W_mx/W_my were never written before).
- gamepad: win_pad polls GCController.controllers each frame, packing extended-
gamepad buttons (SDL_GameControllerButton order) and thumbsticks (16.16 fixed,
Y negated for SDL convention) into in_pad_*. Windowed builds now load
GameController via -needed_framework (its classes are reached by name, so a
plain -framework link dead-strips it); DCE'd in headless builds.
- touch: the view's NSTouch phase handlers snapshot the touching set into
in_touch_* (normalizedPosition -> framebuffer pixels).
Web platform.js gains zero-fill stubs for win_held/mouse/pad/touch so a windowed
wasm build resolves the device-layer imports. New test asserts the windowed link
loads GameController. Reseeded; full + selfhost suites green (79 + 29).

The raw device layer the input proposal sketched, over the action maps +
record/replay of #7. Beyond one key per frame, gameplay can read:
- Multiple simultaneous held keys: Input.key_down / key_pressed / key_released,
with clean rising/falling edges (hold left AND jump).
- Analog from keys: Input.axis(neg, pos) and a normalized Input.vector(l,r,u,d)
(diagonals scaled by 1/sqrt(2)), plus Input.strength(action).
- Mouse: Input.mouse_x/y, mouse_dx/dy (per-frame delta), mouse_down(btn), wheel.
- Gamepads: Input.pad_connected/pad_button/pad_axis (SDL-order buttons, -1..1
sticks); touch: Input.touch_count/touch_x/touch_y.
The held set is fed by the platform when windowed — cocoa.ll now tracks
keyDown/keyUp into a 256-bit held-key bitset (win_held) and the mouse
buttons/wheel (win_mouse), gated so headless builds DCE the native calls — and
by the Input.press / Input.set_mouse / Input.set_pad / Input.set_touch injection
on every target (Godot-style action injection: replays, AI, network-fed input).
Input.record / replay now snapshot the full per-frame device state (held set +
mouse), extending #7's single-key tape.
Everything is integer and deterministic, so the same inputs reproduce the same
frame on every run and headless. The gamepad/touch native hardware bindings
(GameController.framework / NSTouch) feed the same injected state and are the one
remaining platform-glue follow-up; the software layer, semantics and replay are
complete and driven deterministically today.
Worked example + regression: examples/library/input_device.ludic
(1 1 0 1 0 1 71 -71 5 1 3 1 2 1 0 0 1, injection-driven headless). 23 new
docs/language/input pages. Full suite 78 passed, self-host C-free fixpoint
intact, no golden drift; cocoa.ll assembles and a windowed build links.

Split the flat 38-file selfhost/ into concern-based subdirectories:
frontend/ lex, parse, parse_game, ast
support/ str, buf, io
backend/ core IR + expression/statement lowering
backend/game/ ECS/scene/event/world lowering
backend/stdlib/ the namespaced Math.*/Text.*/Crypto.*/… intrinsics
and split the three oversized emitters at responsibility boundaries so
no file mixes concerns:
emit_game.ludic -> + emit_world.ludic (reflection world table,
tick helpers, @main synthesis)
emit_expr.ludic -> + emit_call.ludic (namespaced builtins, call
lowering, expr dispatch)
emit_text.ludic -> + emit_text_prelude.ludic (emitted string-builder runtime)
FRAGS in tools/x/selfhost.ludic is updated to the new paths with the link
order preserved, and the Python doc/vocabulary tooling is updated to walk
the new layout. Because the build is a plain in-order concatenation and
every split lands on a blank-line boundary, the regenerated seed is
byte-identical: `x reseed` leaves selfhost/ludicc.seed.ll unchanged,
`x bootstrap-cfree` still reaches its fixed point, and both `x test` (56)
and `x selfhost-test` (29, incl. golden renders) stay green.
Closes#29
