Two ECS-native, deterministic namespaces for 2D motion, driven off the fixed
frame clock so replays and lockstep netcode reproduce every frame and every
eased value exactly. Both are pure computed-inline Q16.16 / integer math (no new
runtime, no heap) — the game stores a timer on a component and calls these each
frame, exactly the way Collision.* / Grid.* are used.
Anim.* — spritesheet frame animation:
- Anim.frame(timer,fps,count) -> int looping frame index
- Anim.once(timer,fps,count) -> int one-shot, clamps on the last frame
- Anim.pingpong(timer,fps,count) -> int bounce 0..count-1..0
- Anim.finished(timer,fps,count) -> bool has a one-shot run past its end?
- Anim.duration(fps,count) -> fixed seconds for one cycle
- Anim.cell_x/cell_y(frame,cols,cell) -> int source rect on a grid sheet
Tween.* — value interpolation over a timeline:
- Tween.progress/loop/yoyo(timer,duration) -> fixed normalized amount
- Tween.done(timer,duration) -> bool
- Tween.ease(t, mode) -> fixed shape by a literal curve 0..6,
the same curves as Ease.* (now
factored into a shared ease_eval)
- Tween.number/round/point/tint(from,to,t) blend a fixed / int / Vector / color
The typed blends reuse the existing fixed / Vector / color helpers, and
Tween.ease shares Ease.*'s exact formulas via the new ease_eval(mode,t) — one
source of truth for every easing curve in the engine.
examples/library/anim.ludic asserts 34 cases (frame math, clamping, ping-pong,
cell geometry, timeline clamp/loop/yoyo, rounding, color/vector blends, and
Ease.in == Tween.ease(.,1)); wired into x test (now 62 passed). Docs: Anim +
Tween sections with 16 per-symbol pages, inventory/coverage green. Seed
reseeded; the C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds.
The stateful sugar the proposal sketches (named clips, Anim.play, fluent
Tween.chain/parallel handles, and an auto-injected advance system) is deliberately
left as a follow-up — this lands the deterministic math core both halves stand on.

Follow-up to #31: the doc/lint/grammar checks moved to Ludic there; this ports
the remaining docgen piece (gen.py / check.py / palette.py) so nothing in the
documentation pipeline is Python any more.
Three new `x` subcommands, all in Ludic and compiled by Ludic:
- x docs-gen [--out DIR] the static-site generator: parses docs/language/**
front-matter + bodies (fences, Parameters:), builds the section/symbol
model, reads the asset templates, and emits every page + ns/color/api pages
+ the landing page + ludic-highlight.js + symbols.json + .nojekyll.
- x docs-check [DIR] the coverage / integrity guard (required files, a
page per inventory.json symbol, duplicate-token and one-dir-per-namespace
guards, highlighter link targets).
- x docs-palette the named-colour source of truth: the palette table
moved into tools/x/docgen.ludic, emitting emit_color.ludic (pointer, not
ptr) + palette.json.
Verified against the Python oracle: `x docs-gen` reproduces all 466 output files
BYTE-FOR-BYTE (a Ludic json.dumps/html.escape/front-matter port — ordered dicts,
indent=2 vs compact, ensure_ascii \uXXXX, codepoint-aware truncation), and
`x docs-check` matches check.py's pass/fail output. Wired into `x test` as a
gate (docs-gen -> docs-check on a fresh site; docs-palette stays byte-identical).
CI swap: ci.yml and docs.yml call the Ludic generator; docs.yml drops the
python:3.12 container and bootstraps the toolchain from the IR seed instead.
tools/docgen/{gen,check,palette}.py deleted; only assets/ + inventory.json
remain. Completes #31's criterion 3.

The repository root carried 11 large Markdown files (~330 KB); most were
long-lived design records rather than things a newcomer needs on first
contact, which buried the README and mixed "how to use Ludic" with "how we
decided to build it."
Move the design/roadmap docs to the Forgejo wiki (now enabled and
populated): Events, Networking, Scenes, Lifecycle, Mobile and
Syntax-redesign design records, the Bootstrap deep-dive and the Luanti
roadmap, under a Home index + sidebar. Each page had its selfhost/ source
links corrected for the #29 reorg and every repo-relative link rewritten to
an absolute URL on main so it resolves from the wiki.
All eight were current, actively-maintained records, so none were dropped.
The root now holds README.md plus the two user-facing references,
LANGUAGE.md and COMPILING.md; the README links to the wiki, and the
remaining references in LANGUAGE.md / COMPILING.md / examples/README.md and
the emit_net.ludic header comment point at the wiki pages. The emit_net.ludic
change is a comment only — the seed stays byte-identical and bootstrap-cfree
+ the full suite (56) stay green.
Closes#26

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
