Some checks are pending
docs / build-and-deploy (push) Waiting to run
Finish the unblocked "Math / Ease" half of #25: the fixed-point transcendentals deferred from #2. Vec.* stays blocked on the vec2 type in #1. - Math.exp, Math.log (natural), Math.pow — deterministic Q16.16 via two new prelude fns in emit_math_prelude: @fn_fx_exp2 (range-reduced 5th-order Taylor 2^f, then a clamped shift by the integer part) and @fn_fx_log2 (llvm.ctlz for the exponent + an atanh series on (m-1)/(m+1) for the mantissa). exp=2^(x·log2 e), log=log2(x)·ln2, pow=2^(b·log2 a). - Ease.elastic — ease-out elastic 2^(-10t)·sin((10t-0.75)·2pi/3)+1. - Pure integer IR, so bit-identical on every platform. Results must fit the Q16.16 range (|x| < 32768); larger magnitudes saturate (documented). Test selfhost/tests/transcend.ludic (registered in the self-host suite) + docs for all four. Reseeded; the C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds. All suites green (24 self-host, 45 regression, 29 tool). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Returns <code>base<sup>exp</sup></code> for <code>base > 0</code> and any fixed <code>exp</code>, computed in Q16.16 as <code>2<sup>exp·log₂base</sup></code> — so non-integer exponents work (<code>Math.pow(x, 0.5)</code> is a square root, though <code>Math.sqrt</code> is cheaper and exact) and it stays bit-identical on every platform. Use it for gameplay curves that need a tunable exponent: damage falloff, easing shaped by a designer-set power, or compound-growth economies. Keep the result inside the fixed range (magnitudes below <code>32768</code>); combinations that exceed it saturate.
