Fixed the naming inconsistencies the cohesion audit flagged, converging on the domain-first style the bulk of the surface already uses (ui_*, text_*, rng_*, font_load, image_load): - load_png -> png_load (asset loaders were split: font_load/image_load - load_sprites -> sprites_load were domain-first, load_* were verb-first) - setreg -> set_reg (missing underscore vs ui_set_int/ui_set_text) Game builtins resolve to their `rt_` runtime function, so the renames are in runtime/native (rt_png_load, rt_sprites_load, rt_set_reg) plus the ~100 example call sites; `become` lowering in emit_machine now emits @fn_rt_set_reg. Purely a surface rename — every renamed call maps to the same runtime symbol, so behavior and golden renders are byte-identical. Vocabulary + docs updated (ludic_syntax.h, grammar, LudicTokens.kt, LANGUAGE.md, README, SYNTAX-REDESIGN). Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; goldens identical; 17/17; vocab clean. Left as-is: os_argc/os_arg (compiler-internal intrinsics, already namespaced and consistent with each other; renaming would need a bootstrap dance for little gain). reg/set_reg keep the getter-bare/setter-set_ shape ui_focused/ui_set_int already use.

Ludic for JetBrains IDEs
Works in IntelliJ IDEA (Community and Ultimate), CLion, GoLand, PyCharm, Rider,
WebStorm — anything on the IntelliJ Platform 2023.2 through 2026.2
(since-build 232, until-build 262.*).
until-build 262 is deliberately ahead of the newest released platform — 2025.3
is build 253, and no 262 IDE exists yet. That headroom is the point: an
until-build pinned to today's IDE gets the plugin auto-disabled the moment a
user upgrades.
Two things are machine-checked rather than assumed, because a plugin that packages cleanly can still fail to load:
./gradlew verifyPluginruns JetBrains' own Plugin Verifier over the built artifact against 2025.3 and reports Compatible, with no deprecated or scheduled-for-removal API usages../gradlew runIdeboots a real IDEA 2025.3 with the plugin installed. The sandbox log line to look for isLoaded custom plugins: LSP4IJ (0.20.1), Ludic (1.0.0)in.intellijPlatform/sandbox/Ludic/IC-2025.3/log/idea.log.
If the plugin does not appear in Settings -> Plugins after installing, the
cause is almost always that the IDE's build number is outside
since-build..until-build. IntelliJ installs the declared dependency (LSP4IJ)
from Marketplace first and only then rejects the incompatible plugin, so the
symptom is "LSP4IJ got installed, mine did not". Check Help -> About for the
build number and widen pluginUntilBuild in gradle.properties to match.
Building
Gradle must run on JDK 17–21. A newer JDK fails with a bare version number as the error message, which is not obvious the first time you see it:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21) # macOS
cd tools/editors/jetbrains
./gradlew buildPlugin # -> build/distributions/Ludic-1.0.0.zip
./gradlew runIde # try it in a sandbox IDE
The first build downloads an IntelliJ IDEA Community distribution (over 1 GB), so expect it to take a while; later builds take seconds. Once the cache is warm,
LUDIC_TEST_JETBRAINS=1 ./tools/test-tools.sh
includes the plugin build in the toolchain's own test run.
Install the zip with Settings -> Plugins -> ⚙ -> Install Plugin from Disk. LSP4IJ is a required dependency; the IDE offers to install it for you.
Settings
Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> Ludic — the path to ludic-lsp and to
ludicc. Both default to build/ under the project root, which is where
tools/build-tools.sh puts them.
