Orkuncakilkaya feb3a71e56 Phase 7i: byte indexing p[i] / p[i] = v (retire peek8/poke8)
Raw byte access is now indexing, not C-style peek/poke:

  peek8(src, i)          -> src[i]        (reads a byte, widened to int)
  poke8(out, j, r)       -> out[j] = r    (narrows the int to a byte)

E_INDEX on a non-slice pointer/string lowers to a `getelementptr i8` + load/zext
(read) or trunc/store (write) — byte-identical to the old peek8/poke8, so the
migration reproduces the compiler exactly. A "byte" element type (llty i8) drives
the widen/narrow. The compiler's own byte work now reads naturally, e.g.
`is_slice_ty` is `t[0] == 91 and t[1] == 93`.

Subtlety fixed on the way: g_addr_ty (the out-param carrying the indexed element
type) must be set AFTER evaluating the index expression, since a member/index in
the index would otherwise clobber it — doing it early made a byte read load a
full pointer from a byte address and crash the self-compile.

Two reseeds: add byte-index support keeping peek8/poke8, then migrate 148 call
sites and delete the intrinsics (+ the now-dead emit_gep_i8). Vocabulary drops
peek8/poke8. Reseeded (22604 lines); C-free fixpoint holds; goldens identical;
18/18; vocab 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
