History

Orkuncakilkaya 70ab79a4e9 Phase 7b: `null` literal + `x == null` (retire ptr_null/ptr_is_null) `null` is now a real pointer literal and null-tests are comparisons, instead of `ptr_null()` and `ptr_is_null(x)`: ptr_null() -> null ptr_is_null(x) -> (x == null) not ptr_is_null(x) -> (x != null) Mechanics: a new E_NULL primary (`null`, like true/false) lowers to the `null` pointer; emit_bin's comparison path now picks `ptr` vs `i32` from operand type (via llty), so `==`/`!=` work on any pointer/record/slice. The two intrinsics are deleted. Two reseeds: (A) add the literal + ptr comparison keeping the intrinsics; (B) migrate all 182 call sites (compiler + runtime, via a balanced-paren script that skips string-literal args and rewrites `not ptr_is_null` to `!= null`) and delete the intrinsics. Node/Val/Buf/Tok field defaults now read `ptr = null`. Vocabulary drops the two from LUDIC_INTRINSICS; `null` joins true/false as a language constant (grammar + ludic_syntax.h). LANGUAGE.md notes the literal. Reseeded (21664 lines); C-free fixpoint holds; goldens identical; 17/17; vocab + doc-fences clean.

Ludic for VS Code

Syntax highlighting, formatting, and full language-server support for Ludic, the AI-first, ECS-native game language. See LANGUAGE.md in the Ludic repository for the language reference.

What you get

	Source
Syntax highlighting	TextMate grammar, works with no build
Semantic highlighting	`ludic-lsp` — real name resolution, so a component reads differently from a local
Diagnostics	structural errors as you type; `ludicc`'s own errors on save
Completion	context-aware: fields after `.`, components inside `query [...]`, phases after `phase`, widgets inside `ui`
Hover	signatures and docs for builtins, intrinsics, and everything you declared
Go to definition / references / rename	across every file in the compilation unit, following `import`
Formatting	format-on-save, comment-preserving
Outline, folding, inlay hints, signature help
```ludic fences in Markdown	highlighted, checked, and formatted

Setup

Build the toolchain once, from the repository root:

./tools/build-tools.sh

That produces build/ludic-lsp and build/ludic-fmt, which the extension finds on its own. If you keep them elsewhere, set ludic.server.path.

Format on save:

"[ludic]": { "editor.formatOnSave": true }

Settings

ludic.server.path — where ludic-lsp lives. Empty = search build/, then PATH.
ludic.server.enabled — turn the server off and keep only static highlighting.
ludic.compilerPath — where ludicc lives, for on-save diagnostics.
ludic.compilerDiagnostics — whether to run the compiler at all.
ludic.indentSize — spaces per level for the formatter.
ludic.trace.server — log LSP traffic (Ludic: Show Language Server Log).

Installing without publishing

cd tools/editors/vscode
npm install
npx @vscode/vsce package
code --install-extension ludic-1.0.0.vsix
