feat(stdlib): add Anim.* + Tween.* — deterministic 2D animation & tweening (#5)
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.

anim-frame Anim.frame anim namespace-method Anim.frame Anim.frame(timer, fps, count) -> int The looping frame index for an elapsed timer at a given fps. 1 Anim frame

Returns the current frame of a looping clip: floor(timer * fps) reduced modulo count. timer is elapsed seconds as a fixed, fps the clip's frames per second, and count the number of frames. The clip wraps forever — frame count-1 is followed by frame 0.

Parameters:

  • timer — elapsed seconds (a fixed)
  • fps — frames per second
  • count — number of frames in the clip
program Demo {
  property Sprite { timer: fixed = 0.0 }
  model Hero { Sprite }
  handler Run phase Update {
    Sprite.timer = Sprite.timer + Time.delta()
    let cell = Anim.frame(Sprite.timer, 12, 4)   # 4-frame run at 12 fps
    print(cell)
  }
}
