Deploy web Studio / deploy (push) Successful in 3m27s
Build your own house: walls, windows, doors, floors, roof, stairs, furniture
House parts (stdlib isokit/house): house_wall drawn along a line, with ends
that adapt at corners, T-junctions and straight runs so no two walls
overlap; window and door that sit on a wall and cut its opening (door
styles panel, glass, double, sliding, opening; swing and hinge by
rotation); floor (boards, tiles, carpet, stone); roof (hip, gable, flat,
optional solar); stairs.

Furniture (stdlib isokit/furniture): chair, sofa / armchair, table with
chairs, desk with monitor and chair, TV, bed, cupboard, bookshelf, kitchen
run, bathtub, shower, toilet, washbasin, plant, rug, floor lamp.

Cut-open levels: on gf / 1f the walls in front of a room are cut low
(rooms are found by their floors), the roof becomes an outline on the
floor, and storeys above are left out. A part's storey comes from z
(storey_h, default 3 m).

Scripting: objects_of, objects_at, objects_on, mount_of, mounted, frame,
to_world, to_local, local_of. Prefab meta: shape (line / rect), mount,
storey.

Studio: drag to draw lines and rectangles (walls, roads, fences, hedges,
floors, areas, buildings, roofs). The Room tool draws a floor plus walls,
without doubling walls that already stand on an edge. Windows and doors
snap onto walls with a hover preview, and they move, turn, copy and
delete with their wall in one undo step. New parts land on the storey
the view shows. Palette categories collapse, and the palette scrolls
apart from the object list.

The MCP instructions explain house building, and list_prefabs shows
sits_on. examples/house is a furnished bungalow; the web Studio gets a
House demo button. Tests: wall corners and junctions, zero depth-sort
cycles in every view, cut levels, and the house demo in every view;
check_studio covers the room / window / door / storey flow, check_web
the House demo.

# Scripting and prefabs
Scenes and prefabs are written in [Rhai](https://rhai.rs/book/), a small
scripting language embedded in isokit. Nothing is compiled: save the file and
the Studio redraws.
## A prefab
A prefab is an object type that can be placed in the Studio. It is two
functions in a module that is listed in `isokit.toml` under `prelude`:
```rust
fn meta_kiosk() { // label, palette group and property form
#{ label: "Gate kiosk", category: "Site", icon: "⌂", help: "…",
props: [
#{ key: "h", type: "float", def: 2.8, min: 2.2, max: 4.0, step: 0.1, label: "Height (m)" },
#{ key: "boom", type: "bool", def: true, label: "Boom barrier" },
] }
}
fn prefab_kiosk(o) { // draw around (0, 0) in the object's own frame
let s = sprite(); // sprite ids default to the object id
s.box(-1.4, -1.1, 1.4, 1.1, 0.0, o.p.h, "brick", #{ top: "roof3" });
}
```
- Property types: `float`, `int`, `bool`, `choice` (with `choices`),
`material` (a theme material, optionally with `choices`), `text`.
Write `def:` for the default (`default` is a reserved word in Rhai).
- How the Studio places it: `shape: "line"` (drag along the map: sets `rot`
and the length prop `w`), `shape: "rect"` (drag a rectangle: sets `w` and
`d`), default a click. `mount: ["house_wall"]`: the prefab sits on objects of
those types; the Studio snaps it onto the nearest one and moves, turns,
copies and deletes it with its host. `storey: true`: placed on the storey the
view shows (level `1f` puts it at z = 1 × `storey_h`).
- `o` holds `id, type, name, x, y, z, rot, p` (the props with defaults
filled in), `pts`, `tag`, `info`, `level`.
- The engine sets the object's frame before calling the prefab. All
coordinates are local: the origin is the object's position, and local x and y
turn with `rot`. `vis()`, `dv()`, `tag()` and `focus()` use the frame too.
- A prefab with the same name in the project overrides the built-in one.
- If a prefab fails, the engine logs a warning for that object and still draws the rest.
## Drawing API
Numbers can be ints or floats. Classes are CSS classes without the `iso-`
prefix (`"wall"` becomes `iso-wall`). A material sets the face colour, which is
shaded automatically by face direction.

## House parts
`house_wall`, `window`, `door`, `floor`, `roof`, `stairs` and the furniture
prefabs work together through the document, not through a parent object:
- A window or door at a point on a wall's centre line (within the wall's half
thickness + 0.3 m, same height) sits on that wall (`mount_of`). The wall
leaves a gap for it (`mounted`), the window draws the opening in the wall's
frame with the wall's height, thickness and material. On no wall it stands
alone as a short wall piece. Its rotation relative to the wall picks a
door's swing side (0, 90: towards the wall's +y side) and hinge (0, 180:
at the low end).
- Wall ends adapt to the walls they meet, so no two walls overlap (the depth
sort needs them apart): along a line two walls just meet, at a T the stem
stops at the other wall's face, at a corner the wall along world x runs
through and the other stops at it.
- A part's storey is `floor((z + 0.5) / storey_h)` (`storey_h`: project
parameter, default 3 m). On level `gf` (`1f`, …) the parts on that storey
are cut open: a wall stays full height only when a floor lies on the
viewer's side of it and none behind it (it is a back wall), all others are
cut to 1 m. Roofs on that storey become an outline on the floor, parts on
storeys above are left out, the storeys below stay closed.
- Ground-level floors and rugs go to the `floor` layer; upper floors are slabs
whose top is at the object's z. Furniture starts 0.02 m above its z.
## Rules that keep the depth sort right
These are lessons from the CNX/Mooban views, and the engine relies on them:
- **One sprite per thing that can stand in front of another.** Split long walls,
fences and solar rows into pieces (≤ 30 m). One big sprite overlapping many
others creates sort cycles (`isokit check` reports them).
- **Things under a cover belong in the cover's sprite**: draw cars under a carport
before its posts and roof (see `prefab_carport`).
- **Floors of cut-open storeys go in the `floor` layer** (ground floor) or in
the same sprite as the storey below. Start walls and furniture standing on
them a little above the floor (+0.02 m).
- **Movers** (`drive`) run along the axis the sort compares second
(`along_x()`). Along the other axis they stay still.
- Street furniture stays off drive areas, and pipe runs end on walls or supports.
## Themes
`theme.toml` stacks on the built-in palette:
```toml
[palette.dark]
brick = "#8a4f3e"
[palette.light]
brick = "#b8664c"
[materials]
brick = "brick" # class iso-brick, colour var(--iso-brick)
[rules]
".iso-svg .iso-sign2" = "fill: #ffcc00; stroke: none"
```
`isokit check` warns about any class in the drawing that has no style.
