New stdlib module wildlife.rhai:
- Animals (new palette category): Deer (stag with antlers, does, fawns),
Wild boar, Fox, Elephant (bull with tusks, cow, calf), Rabbits. Low-poly
solids from faces (loft, tube), parts drawn back to front by depth, faces
edged in their own shade (class beast). Herds scatter round a spot, each
animal its own sprite facing about the object's rotation. Grazing
animals switch between two head poses (iso-pose2 groups), elephants curl
their trunks, rabbits hop.
- Birds and Butterflies as flocks: swim() takes a shape (bird, fly, bee);
wings flap out of step. Fish output unchanged.
- Beehives on stands with supers, lids, entrances and bees flying round;
Bush (round, flowering, berries); Flowers (bed in rows or meadow); Rocks;
Log or stump. g-meadow and g-soil ground materials.
- polyline() takes 3D points as documented (antlers).
Theme colours for dark and light, viewer CSS for poses, flapping, hopping.
examples/country: elephants in a paddock with a cut corner, deer at a
forest edge, boar, fox, rabbits, an apiary by a meadow, a pond, a lane,
fence and hedgerow at angles; Country demo in the web Studio and deploy.
MCP guidance, README, SCRIPTING, ROADMAP.
Tests: Rust 78, Studio 122; existing examples draw the same (only the
embedded theme CSS grew).
With Windows "Animation effects" off, browsers report prefers-reduced-motion, and the viewer
turned every animation off and hid the animation button, so presses, belts and robot arms
stood still in Brave and Firefox with no way to start them. Now that preference only picks
the starting mode ("off"); the button stays (its tooltip says why it is off) and the
viewer's choice wins and is remembered. The CSS still-picture rules apply only until the
viewer turns animation on (.iso-anim-on).
Also: switching light -> off -> smooth redraws the scene so the animations paused by script
run again (they ignore CSS play states).
Checks: web 93/93 (reduced motion: starts still, one click runs it, kept after reload),
Studio 109/109, 70 Rust tests. Tried in real Brave (system setting) and Firefox.
- Robot arm (category Industry): picks goods off the end of the nearest conveyor within its reach
and puts them on the start of another conveyor within reach, or on a pallet a quarter turn on
(pick / put: auto or a side). One move per item coming in (cycle 0) or a set cycle; waits while
the line before it stands. The belt it feeds carries its goods at its pace and starts its loop
when they land (feeds carry a time offset `ph`), so arm and belts stay in step.
- Drawn as a 16-pose flipbook: two-link inverse kinematics per pose, each pose shown for a
sixteenth of the cycle by a stepped CSS animation (iso-flip; pose 0 alone when unanimated).
Poses pointing away from the viewer are drawn before the base, the others after it.
- New sprite method beam(a, b, n, w, mat): a square bar between two 3D points, six faces culled
and shaded like face(). Native, so the factory demo renders in 4.7 ms instead of 18.8 ms.
- Factory demo: a palletiser at the end of the carton line, a loading robot passing drums from the
incline onto the loading belt into the truck. MCP instructions on robot arms.
Checks: 70 Rust tests (arms and belts in step, waiting arm, beam faces from every side),
Studio 109/109, web 90/90.
- Producer (category Industry): a press making cartons, crates, drums, sacks or parts at a set
rate per minute; its ram goes down once per item, a green / red light shows running / stopped.
- Conveyor: drawn the way it runs (new prefab meta `directed`: the Studio turns the piece from
where the drag starts), belt width, height, rise (inclines), speed, goods and spacing; legs,
rails and a drive motor. Corners join without overlap (the receiving belt runs through, the
feeding one stops at its side).
- A conveyor starting on a producer's output side carries its goods at its rate; one starting at
another's end carries on with what that one carries. The gap is speed / rate. A stopped press or
belt stops the goods after it. Tooltips show speed, rate and source.
- The goods ride a group moving one gap per loop (no reordering), first fading in, last out.
- Script API: world_of(o, u, v), info_row(key, value); objects_on falls back to half of p.d.
- Theme: industry colours, LED colours (the marker's LED had none).
- examples/factory + Factory demo in the web Studio; MCP instructions on production lines.
Checks: 68 Rust tests (conveyor joints, feed and spacing, every view of the factory demo),
Studio 108/108 (draw direction, feed from a producer, rate change), web 89/89.
Measured with the new tools/bench_web.py on the web Studio's house demo, CPU slowed 6x:
- Idle: running CSS animations repainted the whole drawing every frame (99% of the main
thread in a window). Animations now step on about ten times a second by default
("light", 5% idle); the new toolbar button switches light / smooth / off and the browser
remembers it; [build] animation sets the default for built pages; view.animation().
Pan and zoom gestures pause them. Status LEDs pause off-screen and with the rest now.
- Pan 28 -> 10 ms, zoom 69 -> 11 ms per step: gestures move the drawing as one compositor
layer (transform) and set the viewBox once they end; --iso-k is set on the tags group
only and only when it changes; the stage box is read once per frame.
- Hover 22 -> 15 ms per move: the tooltip is placed once per frame on its own layer and
measured only when its text changes; the Studio's x/y readout updates ten times a second
in a contained box; hover work in the Studio runs once per frame.
- Long object lists skip layout of rows out of sight (content-visibility).
- WASM built with opt-level 3: engine render 11.7 -> 9.4 ms for 10% more download.
Checks: Studio 102/102 (animation modes, pan as a layer, contained readout), web 87/87.
Selection: S.sel stays the object picked last; S.selIds holds everything
selected.
- In the object list, Ctrl+click adds or removes an object and
Shift+click selects a range.
- On the map, Ctrl/Shift+click toggles an object and Shift+drag draws a
box that selects what lies wholly inside it (locked and hidden objects
are left out).
- Ctrl+A selects everything that is not locked; Esc selects nothing.
- Clicking a wall or fence a second time selects every piece of the same
type joined to it; another click goes back to that one piece.
- Dragging one selected object moves them all, together with the windows
and doors on them, as one undo step. Arrow keys, R (turns the group
about its middle), Ctrl+D, Delete, Lock and Hide all work on the whole
selection.
- When all selected objects share a type, the property form edits them
all; fields where they differ show "mixed".
- The agent's system prompt lists the selected objects.
The viewer outlines several objects with selectObj([ids]) and passes the
click event to onPick. A batch op now answers `ids`, one per operation,
so the copies from a group duplicate get selected.
Pond (Nature): natural, round or square, with a stone or grass edge,
fish, lily pads, spreading ripples and reed clumps. The fish come from a
new Swim primitive (script: s.swim). One matrix maps the object's frame
to the screen. Each fish turns round its ellipse with a CSS rotation,
so off-screen pausing and reduced motion apply as for the other
animations. The house demo gets a koi pond in the back garden.
Tests: ponds in every shape and rotation have the right number of fish,
no NaN and no depth-sort cycles, and stay inside their rectangle.
check_studio covers list and map multi-select, a group drag undone in
one step, joined-fence selection, a mixed-value form applied to all, box
select, delete and undo, Ctrl+A, Esc, and a new pond's fish.
