Orkuncakilkaya fcada23eba Phase 7a: bitwise operators & | ^ << >> ~ (retire band/bor/shl/…)
First step of the "stop feeling like C" pass. Bitwise ops were functions
(`band(x, MASK)`, `shl(a, 3)`); they are now real operators:

  band -> &   bor -> |   bxor -> ^   shl -> <<   shr -> >>   bnot -> ~

Precedence is Go-style so the C footgun is gone: `<<`/`>>`/`&` bind like `*`,
`|`/`^` like `+`, both tighter than comparison — `flags & MASK == 0` parses as
`(flags & MASK) == 0`. `>>` is logical (lshr), matching the old `shr`.

Mechanics: lexer tokenizes `<< >> & | ^ ~`; p_mul takes `<< >> &`, p_add takes
`| ^`, p_unary takes `~`; emit_bin routes them through the existing int arith
path (arith_code gains and/or/xor/shl/lshr) and E_UN handles `~`. The six
intrinsics are deleted.

Delivered as two reseeds: (A) add the operators keeping the intrinsics, (B)
migrate every call site to operator form (85 lines across compiler + runtime,
via a balanced-paren call->operator script; two multi-line big-endian reads in
image/truetype done by hand) and delete the intrinsics. Vocabulary drops the six
from LUDIC_INTRINSICS (ludic_syntax.h, grammar, LudicTokens.kt) and the grammar
gains a bitwise-operator rule. LANGUAGE.md precedence table rewritten.

Reseeded (21724 lines); C-free fixpoint holds; goldens byte-identical (the PNG
and TrueType decoders lean on these ops); 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
