Rebuild the API Reference around one page per symbol and richer, verified content.
Pages & navigation
- One HTML page per symbol (kw-*, type-*, phase-*, screen-*, fn-*, annot-*, op-*)
instead of a single scrolling page; namespace overview pages (ns-screen …
ns-color) and a searchable index (api.html) with client-side fuzzy search.
- Sticky-header scroll offset (scroll-margin) so a jumped-to entry/param/color is
never hidden, plus a flash highlight on the scrolled-to target.
Deep linking in every snippet & example
- Namespace members split: `Screen`→namespace page, `fill_rectangle`→method page;
`Color`→palette page, `Charcoal`→its swatch — separately.
- Named arguments (`width:`) link to that parameter's anchor on the method page.
- Hover any token for a summary card built from the real API data (symbols.json).
Content & coverage
- Full authoritative surface documented from the compiler: every keyword, type,
the 6 phases (Start/Input/FixedUpdate/Update/LateUpdate/Render, each its own
page), all 22 annotations, namespace methods with parameter docs, builtins,
the world_* reflection ABI, networking, operators — 155 symbols.
- Longer, clearer explanations; "model"/"model instance" terminology, not "entity";
descriptive identifiers in every example (Position{column,row}, Velocity{delta_x,
delta_y}, Health{current,maximum}, Player/Enemy) — no Pos/Seg/x/dx.
- Accuracy fixes from compiler ground-truth: world_count() takes no arg,
world_query_next(property, cursor) arg order, event fields bind by name; dropped
`when` and `module` (not in the self-hosted parser).
Tooling
- inventory.json + check.py: coverage guard (every symbol has a page), duplicate-
token guard, and broken-link guard — fail CI so docs can't drift.
- validate.py: compiles every ```ludic example against bin/ludicc (158 compile).

id: annot-sync name: @Sync category: annotations kind: annotation tokens: @Sync sig: @Sync property … / @Owned tip: Mark fields as replicated and models as owned so the compiler generates networking. order: 4
These are the two declarative switches at the top of Ludic's networking: @Sync says what replicates and @Owned says who owns an instance. Replication is opt-in at the field level and decided per model use-site — a field crosses the wire only when it is both replicable (marked @Sync, either on the field or via @Sync property P which marks every field of P) and participating (the model marks the component @Sync). So the same property can replicate in one model and not another, and there is no @NoSync because the surface is purely additive. From these marks the compiler generates the per-model serialize/apply codecs; @Sync on a non-POD-scalar field (like a ptr) is a compile error, since a machine-local pointer cannot cross the wire. @Owned adds the owner slot the ownership builtins and @Predicted read. See the dedicated @Owned page for ownership details.
program SyncedWorld {
@Sync property Position { column: int = 0, row: int = 0 } # every field replicable
property Health { @Sync current: int = 0, maximum: int = 0 } # only current replicable
@Owned model Player { @Sync Position, @Sync Health } # participates -> column,row,current
model Scenery { Position } # not @Sync here -> never replicates
entry {
spawn Player { Position { column: 3, row: 4 }, Health { current: 50, maximum: 100 } }
for (Position, Health) in query [Position, Health, {Player}] {
print(sync_size(self())) # 12 = Position(8) + Health.current(4)
}
}
