Anchor Runtime Configuration

The user wants me to check for new functions in anchor.c that haven't been documented in the ENGINE_API or FRAMEWORK_API files. I should explore the codebase to find any discrepancies between what's implemented in anchor.c and what's documented.

Let me start by reading the relevant files to compare them.

The grep for lua_setfield shows table field assignments, but I need to find the actual Lua function registrations. Let me search for lua_register or the pattern that registers functions with Lua. Looking at typical C-Lua binding patterns, I should search for lua_pushcfunction and related registration patterns.

6498:    lua_register(L, "layer_create", l_layer_create);
6499:    lua_register(L, "layer_rectangle", l_layer_rectangle);

Now I can see the full list of registered functions. Let me compare against what's in ENGINE_API_QUICK.md. I see there's a section at the end (lines 6680-6691) with `engine_*` functions that I don't see in the ENGINE_API_QUICK.md file:

From anchor.c:

- engine_get_frame
- engine_get_step
- engine_get_time
- engine_get_dt
- engine_get_width
- engine_get_height
- engine_get_window_size
- engine_get_scale
- engine_is_fullscreen
- engine_get_platform
- engine_get_fps
- engine_get_draw_calls

Looking at ENGINE_API_QUICK.md, I don't see any of these engine_* functions. These all appear to be undocumented. Let me also check if there are any in the FRAMEWORK_API related to these engine functions.

The FRAMEWORK_API_QUICK.md has no mention of frame, step, time, dt, width, height, window_size, scale, fullscreen, platform, fps, or draw_calls.

So the missing functions are:

**In ENGINE_API (undocumented):**

1. `engine_get_frame()`
2. `engine_get_step()`
3. `engine_get_time()`
4. `engine_get_dt()`
5. `engine_get_width()`
6. `engine_get_height()`
7. `engine_get_window_size()`
8. `engine_get_scale()`
9. `engine_is_fullscreen()`
10. `engine_get_platform()`
11. `engine_get_fps()`
12. `engine_get_draw_calls()`

Let me also look at the framework code to see if there are wrapper methods defined there that might need to be documented.

6413:static int l_engine_get_frame(lua_State* L) {
6414-    lua_pushinteger(L, (lua_Integer)frame);
6415-    return 1;
6416-}
6417-
6418:static int l_engine_get_step(lua_State* L) {
6419-    lua_pushinteger(L, (lua_Integer)step);
6420-    return 1;
6421-}
6422-
6423:static int l_engine_get_time(lua_State* L) {
6424-    lua_pushnumber(L, game_time);
6425-    return 1;
6426-}
6427-
6428:static int l_engine_get_dt(lua_State* L) {
6429-    lua_pushnumber(L, PHYSICS_RATE);
6430-    return 1;
6431-}
6432-
6433:static int l_engine_get_width(lua_State* L) {
6434-    lua_pushinteger(L, GAME_WIDTH);
6435-    return 1;
6436-}
6437-
6438:static int l_engine_get_height(lua_State* L) {
6439-    lua_pushinteger(L, GAME_HEIGHT);
6440-    return 1;
6441-}
6442-
... [41 more lines]

6462:static int l_engine_is_fullscreen(lua_State* L) {
6463-    Uint32 flags = SDL_GetWindowFlags(window);
6464-    lua_pushboolean(L, (flags & SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP) != 0);
6465-    return 1;
6466-}

Now I have all the details. Here are the 12 undocumented engine functions:

1. `engine_get_frame()` -> int (frame count)
2. `engine_get_step()` -> int (physics step count)
3. `engine_get_time()` -> number (game_time)
4. `engine_get_dt()` -> number (PHYSICS_RATE constant)
5. `engine_get_width()` -> int (GAME_WIDTH constant)
6. `engine_get_height()` -> int (GAME_HEIGHT constant)
7. `engine_get_window_size()` -> int, int (actual window w, h)
8. `engine_get_scale()` -> int (integer scale factor)
9. `engine_is_fullscreen()` -> bool
10. `engine_get_platform()` -> string ("web" or "windows")
11. `engine_get_fps()` -> number
12. `engine_get_draw_calls()` -> int

I should also check the framework init.yue to see if there are already wrapper methods for any of these that need to be documented in FRAMEWORK_API.

E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.lua:52:an.width = engine_get_width()

E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.lua:53:an.height = engine_get_height()

E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.lua:1307:an.draw_calls = engine_get_draw_calls()for name, layer in 

E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.yue:52:an.width = engine_get_width!
E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.yue:53:an.height = engine_get_height!
E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.yue:54:an.dt = engine_get_dt!

E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.yue:1308:  an.draw_calls = engine_get_draw_calls!

Now I have the complete picture. The framework already uses these engine functions and exposes them as properties on the `an` object. These are being set both at initialization and then updated in the frame loop.

So the undocumented items are:

**ENGINE_API (C functions):**
All 12 engine_* functions are undocumented.

**FRAMEWORK_API:**
All 12 corresponding `an.*` properties are undocumented:

- `an.width` (static, set once at init)
- `an.height` (static, set once at init)
- `an.dt` (static, set once at init)
- `an.platform` (static, set once at init)
- `an.frame` (updated every frame)
- `an.step` (updated every frame)
- `an.time` (updated every frame)
- `an.window_width` (updated every frame)
- `an.window_height` (updated every frame)
- `an.scale` (updated every frame)
- `an.fullscreen` (updated every frame)
- `an.fps` (updated every frame)
- `an.draw_calls` (updated every frame)

I should report this to the user clearly.

The user is asking if there's a way to set the game width/height from Lua and have the engine use those values. Let me check the engine code to see how GAME_WIDTH and GAME_HEIGHT are defined and if there's any way to set them from Lua.

I should look at:

1. How GAME_WIDTH and GAME_HEIGHT are defined
2. If there are any setter functions registered
3. How the window/rendering uses these values

74:#define GAME_WIDTH 480
75:#define GAME_HEIGHT 270
2292:    float scale_x = (float)window_w / GAME_WIDTH;
2293:    float scale_y = (float)window_h / GAME_HEIGHT;
2299:    int scaled_w = GAME_WIDTH * int_scale;
2300:    int scaled_h = GAME_HEIGHT * int_scale;
2312:    return (gx >= 0 && gx < GAME_WIDTH && gy >= 0 && gy < GAME_HEIGHT);
3595:    Layer* layer = layer_create(GAME_WIDTH, GAME_HEIGHT);
6132:    float scale_x = (float)window_w / GAME_WIDTH;
6133:    float scale_y = (float)window_h / GAME_HEIGHT;
6434:    lua_pushinteger(L, GAME_WIDTH);
6439:    lua_pushinteger(L, GAME_HEIGHT);
6454:    float scale_x = (float)window_w / GAME_WIDTH;
6455:    float scale_y = (float)window_h / GAME_HEIGHT;
7386:            2.0f / GAME_WIDTH, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
7387:            0.0f, -2.0f / GAME_HEIGHT, 0.0f, 0.0f,
7431:        float scale_x = (float)window_w / GAME_WIDTH;
7432:        float scale_y = (float)window_h / GAME_HEIGHT;
7438:        int scaled_w = GAME_WIDTH * int_scale;
7439:        int scaled_h = GAME_HEIGHT * int_scale;
7469:                float ndc_x = (cmd->x / GAME_WIDTH) * 2.0f;
7470:                float ndc_y = -(cmd->y / GAME_HEIGHT) * 2.0f;  // Flip Y
7567:        GAME_WIDTH * INITIAL_SCALE, GAME_HEIGHT * INITIAL_SCALE,

I can see that GAME_WIDTH and GAME_HEIGHT are #define constants at lines 74-75, set to 480x270. They're used throughout the engine for:

- Window sizing
- Scale calculations
- Layer creation
- Projection matrix
- Input coordinate transformation

Since they're compile-time #define constants, there's no way currently to set them from Lua. The gameplay coder would have to modify the C code and recompile.

To make this configurable from Lua, the engine would need to:

1. Change GAME_WIDTH/GAME_HEIGHT from #defines to variables
2. Add setter functions like `engine_set_width()` / `engine_set_height()` or `engine_set_resolution(w, h)`
3. Make sure these are called before initialization completes (or handle re-initialization of things that depend on game size)

This would be a non-trivial change since GAME_WIDTH/GAME_HEIGHT are used in many places including the projection matrix setup.

The user is asking if this capability exists - it does not currently. I should tell them this directly.

The user wants me to look at main.yue in the emoji-ball-battles project to understand where a resolution-setting call would go in a typical game setup. Let me read that file.

I see. The game defines `W, H = 480, 270` at line 6, but this is just for the game's own use (drawing rectangles, etc.). It doesn't actually tell the engine what resolution to use — the engine uses its hardcoded 480x270.

Looking at the structure:

1. `require 'anchor'` loads the framework
2. `W, H = 480, 270` sets local variables
3. Layers are created
4. etc.

If we wanted to set the game resolution, it would need to happen very early. The question is: where in anchor.c does initialization happen that needs to know the resolution?

Looking at the engine flow:

1. `main()` starts
2. SDL/OpenGL initialization
3. Window is created with `GAME_WIDTH * INITIAL_SCALE, GAME_HEIGHT * INITIAL_SCALE`
4. Lua state is created
5. Lua functions are registered
6. `luaL_dofile(L, "main.lua")` runs the game's main file
7. Main loop starts

The problem is that the window and projection matrix are set up before Lua code runs. So the engine would need to either:

1. Call a Lua config function early (before window creation) to get the resolution
2. Allow the resolution to be set later and re-initialize affected systems

Option 1 is cleaner. The pattern would be:

1. Create Lua state and register functions
2. Check if there's a `conf.lua` or call an `anchor_conf()` function
3. That function can call `engine_set_game_size(640, 360)` or similar
4. Then create the window and proceed

But wait, looking at the current flow, the framework `init.yue` is already doing setup when `require 'anchor'` is called. Let me check that...

Actually, from the game developer's perspective, the simplest approach would be to call something like:


`an\set_game_size 640, 360`

But this needs to happen before any layers are created, because layers are created at GAME_WIDTH x GAME_HEIGHT. The window is already created by the time Lua runs, so the engine needs restructuring: it should initialize the Lua state and register functions first, then check for a config function that sets the resolution, and only then create the window and layers.

Looking at anchor.c, the window gets created at line 7567 with hardcoded GAME_WIDTH and GAME_HEIGHT values. A simpler solution would be to use a config file pattern where the engine looks for a `conf.lua` that runs before window creation.

The config file could return a table with settings like width, height, and title. The engine would read this configuration, set up the window with those dimensions, then load the main game file. Alternatively, I could make GAME_WIDTH and GAME_HEIGHT into variables with defaults, then have the engine load a minimal Lua snippet or conf.lua that calls something like `engine_set_game_size(w, h)` before the window is actually created.

For the user's specific question about where this would go in main.yue, it depends on the approach—if we want the framework to know about the size during initialization, the call needs to happen before `require 'anchor'`, or we could use a separate conf.yue file entirely. I should ask which pattern they prefer.

The user is asking if we can pass arguments when requiring anchor. In Lua, `require` doesn't natively support arguments, but there are patterns to work around this:

1. Set global variables before require
2. Use a function call pattern like `require('anchor')(640, 360)`
3. Use a table pattern like `require('anchor'){width=640, height=360}`

In Lua/YueScript, when you do `require 'module'`, it returns whatever the module returns. If the module returns a function, you can call it immediately:

```lua
require('anchor')(640, 360)
```

Or in YueScript:
```yue
require('anchor') 640, 360
```

This would work if init.yue returns a function that takes the configuration and then does initialization.

Actually, looking at how the framework currently works, `require 'anchor'` loads init.yue which probably does setup immediately. But we could change it so that:

1. `require 'anchor'` returns a setup function
2. You call that function with config: `require('anchor')(640, 360)` or `require('anchor'){width: 640, height: 360}`

In YueScript this would look like:
```yue
require('anchor') 640, 360
-- or
require('anchor') width: 640, height: 360
```

This is actually a nice pattern. The framework would need to:

1. Not do any initialization when loaded
2. Return a function that takes width/height (and possibly other config)
3. That function calls `engine_set_game_size` and then does the rest of initialization

Let me present this to the user.

The user wants to know what other configuration options a gameplay coder might want to control at initialization time. Let me think about common game engine configuration options:

1. **Resolution/Size**: width, height (already discussed)

2. **Window options**:
   - title - window title
   - fullscreen - start in fullscreen mode
   - resizable - whether window can be resized
   - vsync - vertical sync
   - initial_scale - starting window scale multiplier

3. **Rendering**:
   - filter_mode - "nearest" or "linear" for texture filtering (already have set_filter_mode but could be a default)

4. **Audio**:
   - master_volume - initial master volume

5. **Physics**:
   - gravity_x, gravity_y - default gravity
   - meter_scale - physics meter scale

6. **Timing**:
   - fixed_dt / physics_rate - the fixed timestep (currently PHYSICS_RATE is hardcoded)
   - target_fps - target frame rate

7. **Debug**:
   - debug - enable debug mode/info

Looking at anchor.c, there are several hardcoded values:

- GAME_WIDTH, GAME_HEIGHT (480, 270)
- INITIAL_SCALE (2)
- PHYSICS_RATE (1.0/60.0)
- MAX_LAYERS, MAX_TEXTURES, etc. (but these are more internal limits)

The most common ones gameplay coders would want:

- width, height (game resolution)
- title (window title)
- scale (initial window scale)
- fullscreen (start fullscreen)
- vsync (currently might be hardcoded)
- filter (nearest/linear)

Let me check what's currently hardcoded in anchor.c for these...

7564:    window = SDL_CreateWindow(
7565-        WINDOW_TITLE,
7566-        SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED,
7567-        GAME_WIDTH * INITIAL_SCALE, GAME_HEIGHT * INITIAL_SCALE,

7574-    }
7575-
7576-    gl_context = SDL_GL_CreateContext(window);

Let me also check for WINDOW_TITLE and any vsync settings.

73:#define WINDOW_TITLE "Anchor"
7565:        WINDOW_TITLE,
7583:    SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval(1);  // VSync

Now I have a good picture. Here are the things that could be configurable:

**Definitely useful for gameplay coders:**

1. `width` / `height` — game resolution (currently 480x270)
2. `title` — window title (currently "Anchor")
3. `scale` — initial window scale multiplier (currently 3)
4. `vsync` — vertical sync (currently always on)
5. `fullscreen` — start in fullscreen mode (currently windowed)

**Maybe useful:**

6. `filter` — default texture filter mode ("nearest" or "linear")
7. `resizable` — whether window can be resized (currently always resizable)

**Probably too advanced / internal:**

- `physics_rate` — fixed timestep (1/120) - this affects game feel significantly, probably shouldn't be casual config
- All the MAX_* limits - these are internal engine limits

Let me present the reasonable options to the user.

The user wants filter included, and also wants the MAX limits exposed. They're also asking about other memory/performance-related controls.

Let me think about what memory/performance controls a gameplay coder might want:

1. **MAX limits** (already identified):
   - MAX_LAYERS (16)
   - MAX_TEXTURES (256)
   - MAX_FONTS (16)
   - MAX_EFFECT_SHADERS (64)
   - MAX_BATCH_VERTICES (6000) - affects batching performance
   - MAX_COMMAND_CAPACITY (16384) - render commands
   - MAX_PLAYING_SOUNDS (64)
   - MAX_PHYSICS_TAGS (64)
   - MAX_PHYSICS_EVENTS (256)
   - MAX_QUERY_RESULTS (256)
   - MAX_ACTIONS (128)
   - MAX_CHORDS (32)
   - MAX_SEQUENCES (32)
   - MAX_HOLDS (32)
   - MAX_CONTROLS_PER_ACTION (8)
   - MAX_LAYER_DRAWS (64)

2. **Batching/Rendering**:
   - MAX_BATCH_VERTICES - how many vertices can be batched before a flush
   - MAX_COMMAND_CAPACITY - render command buffer size

3. **Physics**:
   - MAX_UPDATES (10) - cap on fixed steps per frame (spiral of death prevention)
   - MAX_PHYSICS_EVENTS (256) - collision/sensor event buffer
   - MAX_QUERY_RESULTS (256) - spatial query results

4. **Audio**:
   - MAX_PLAYING_SOUNDS (64) - concurrent sounds

5. **Memory allocation patterns**:
   - Does the engine pre-allocate anything that could be sized?
   - Are there any pools?

Let me check if there are any other memory-related things in anchor.c...

Looking at the code, most of these MAX values define static array sizes. Changing them would affect memory usage.


For performance tuning, the critical ones are MAX_BATCH_VERTICES and MAX_COMMAND_CAPACITY for rendering, MAX_PHYSICS_EVENTS for collision-heavy scenes, and MAX_PLAYING_SOUNDS for audio-intensive gameplay. The physics substep cap (MAX_UPDATES) also matters for preventing frame rate spirals. I should check if there's any object pooling or pre-allocation strategy that could be exposed as well.

6945:    // Ensure null termination (realloc to add space for null if needed)
6946:    char* result = (char*)realloc(buffer, size + 1);

Now I have a clearer picture. There are two categories:

1. **Static arrays** (compile-time sized) - these MAX values define array sizes that are baked in at compile time
2. **Dynamic allocations** (malloc) - these happen at runtime

For the static arrays, these are the ones that could affect memory usage and performance:

**Rendering:**

- MAX_LAYERS (16) - number of layers
- MAX_TEXTURES (256) - loaded textures
- MAX_EFFECT_SHADERS (64) - effect shaders
- MAX_BATCH_VERTICES (6000) - vertex batching buffer (6000 * VERTEX_FLOATS floats)
- MAX_COMMAND_CAPACITY (16384) - per-layer command buffer (allocated per layer)
- MAX_LAYER_DRAWS (64) - layer draw queue

**Physics:**

- MAX_PHYSICS_TAGS (64) - collision tags
- MAX_PHYSICS_EVENTS (256) - collision/sensor events per frame
- MAX_QUERY_RESULTS (256) - spatial query results

**Audio:**

- MAX_FONTS (16) - loaded fonts
- MAX_PLAYING_SOUNDS (64) - concurrent sounds

**Input:**

- MAX_ACTIONS (128) - input actions
- MAX_CHORDS (32) - chord bindings
- MAX_SEQUENCES (32) - sequence bindings
- MAX_HOLDS (32) - hold bindings

Now, which of these would a gameplay coder actually need to tune?

**Likely to need tuning:**

- MAX_BATCH_VERTICES - if drawing lots of sprites, bigger = fewer draw calls
- MAX_COMMAND_CAPACITY - if a single layer has tons of draw commands
- MAX_PHYSICS_EVENTS - if you have lots of collisions per frame
- MAX_PLAYING_SOUNDS - if you need many concurrent sounds
- MAX_QUERY_RESULTS - if you do large spatial queries


- MAX_LAYERS (16 is plenty for most games), MAX_TEXTURES (256 is a lot), MAX_FONTS (16 is plenty), and the input limits are all generous defaults that rarely need adjustment. The real constraint is that these are compile-time #defines for static arrays, so making them configurable would require switching to dynamic allocation. I could either document how to modify them in anchor.c and rebuild, or explore making some of them runtime-configurable through a config system.

Since the user wants control over these limits, I should prioritize which ones actually matter. MAX_BATCH_VERTICES and MAX_COMMAND_CAPACITY directly impact rendering performance, MAX_PHYSICS_EVENTS matters when there are many collisions, and MAX_PLAYING_

SOUNDS affects audio-heavy scenarios. Most other limits like MAX_LAYERS, MAX_TEXTURES, and MAX_FONTS rarely need adjustment. I should also consider other performance knobs like the physics step cap and audio buffer settings, then present a prioritized list to the user asking which ones they'd actually want to configure.

The user wants to keep the MAX limits as compile-time constants that can be changed manually in anchor.c. So we'll focus on the runtime-configurable options:

- width
- height
- title
- scale
- vsync
- fullscreen
- resizable
- filter

This is a cleaner approach. The config table passed to require('anchor') will handle these common settings, and advanced users can tweak the MAX limits by editing anchor.c directly.

The user wants only the named approach, no positional shorthand. So the config will always be a table with named keys.

Let me plan the implementation:

**Engine (anchor.c):**

1. Change `#define` constants to variables with defaults:
   - `GAME_WIDTH` → `static int game_width = 480;`
   - `GAME_HEIGHT` → `static int game_height = 270;`
   - `INITIAL_SCALE` → `static int initial_scale = 3;`
   - `WINDOW_TITLE` → `static char window_title[256] = "Anchor";`
   - vsync → `static bool vsync_enabled = true;`
   - fullscreen → `static bool fullscreen_enabled = false;`
   - resizable → `static bool resizable_enabled = true;`
   - filter → already has `filter_mode` variable

2. Add setter functions:
   - `engine_set_game_width(w)` and `engine_set_game_height(h)` or combined `engine_set_game_size(w, h)`
   - `engine_set_title(title)`
   - `engine_set_scale(s)`
   - `engine_set_vsync(bool)`
   - `engine_set_fullscreen(bool)`
   - `engine_set_resizable(bool)`
   - Filter already has `set_filter_mode`

3. Replace all uses of the old macros with the new variables

4. Defer window creation - this is the tricky part. Currently window creation happens in main() before Lua runs. We need to:
   - Move window creation to a separate function
   - Call it after Lua has had a chance to set config
   - Or have it called on first use / explicitly

Actually, looking at the flow more carefully:

- main() initializes SDL, creates window, creates GL context, registers Lua functions, then runs main.lua


- The window must exist before GL context can be created, and GL context must exist before shaders can be set up. The cleanest approach is to initialize SDL first, register Lua functions including config setters, run main.lua which calls `require('anchor')` to configure everything, then create the window and GL context with those settings before continuing with the rest of initialization.

The require call returns a function that applies the configuration settings (width, height, title, etc.) by calling engine functions, then triggers window creation and GL context setup. However, there's a dependency issue: the framework initialization in init.yue creates layers and other objects that require the GL context to already exist. I need to examine what init.yue actually does when it loads to understand the proper sequencing.

The user wants me to proceed with the implementation. Let me create a todo list and start working on this.

First, let me understand the current flow better by reading the relevant parts of anchor.c and init.yue.

The user wants me to check what terminology is used for filter mode in the existing codebase - whether it's "rough"/"smooth" or "nearest"/"linear".

307:    COMMAND_APPLY_SHADER,       // Post-process layer through a shader
749:    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);

796:    int filter;             // Filter mode font was loaded with (FILTER_SMOOTH or FILTER_ROUGH)
843:// Uses global filter_mode: FILTER_ROUGH = 1-bit mono, FILTER_SMOOTH = 8-bit grayscale AA
896:    font->filter = filter_mode;  // Store filter mode font was loaded with
915:    // Determine FreeType load flags based on filter mode
917:    if (filter_mode == FILTER_ROUGH) {
920:    // FILTER_SMOOTH uses default grayscale rendering (8-bit)
958:                if (filter_mode == FILTER_ROUGH) {
1001:    // Use appropriate filtering based on mode
1002:    GLint tex_filter = (filter_mode == FILTER_ROUGH) ? GL_NEAREST : GL_LINEAR;

1310:    ma_sound_set_volume(&music->sound, linear_to_perceptual(music_master_volume * ch->volume));
1351:                    linear_to_perceptual(music_master_volume * music_channels[i].volume));
1360:                linear_to_perceptual(music_master_volume * ch->volume));
1470:    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
1471:    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
1509:    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
1510:    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
... [62 more lines]

The existing code uses "rough" and "smooth" for filter modes:

- `FILTER_ROUGH` = pixel-perfect, hard edges (GL_NEAREST)
- `FILTER_SMOOTH` = anti-aliased (GL_LINEAR)

The Lua API uses `set_filter_mode("rough")` or `set_filter_mode("smooth")`.

So for consistency, the config should use `filter: "rough"` or `filter: "smooth"`, not "nearest"/"linear".

Now I understand the framework initialization flow. Let me analyze what needs to change:

**Current flow:**

1. `require 'anchor'` loads init.yue
2. init.yue immediately:
   - Requires all submodules (object, layer, image, etc.)
   - Creates the `an` object
   - Sets up registries
   - Reads engine state (width, height, dt, platform)
   - Defines the global `update` function

**What needs to change:**

For the config pattern `require('anchor') { width: 640, height: 360, ... }`:

1. init.yue should return a function instead of doing immediate setup
2. That function takes a config table
3. The function:
   - Calls engine setter functions (engine_set_game_size, engine_set_title, etc.)
   - Calls a new `engine_init()` to create the window with configured settings
   - Then does the current setup (create `an`, set up registries, etc.)

**Engine changes needed:**

1. Convert #defines to variables:
   - `GAME_WIDTH` → `static int game_width = 480;`
   - `GAME_HEIGHT` → `static int game_height = 270;`
   - `INITIAL_SCALE` → `static int initial_scale = 3;`
   - `WINDOW_TITLE` → `static char window_title[256] = "Anchor";`
   - Add `static bool vsync_enabled = true;`
   - Add `static bool fullscreen_enabled = false;`
   - Add `static bool resizable_enabled = true;`

2. Add setter functions:
   - `engine_set_game_size(w, h)`
   - `engine_set_title(title)`
   - `engine_set_scale(scale)`
   - `engine_set_vsync(enabled)`
   - `engine_set_fullscreen(enabled)`
   - `engine_set_resizable(enabled)` for window resizing control, while filter mode configuration already has `set_filter_mode` available

3. Defer window creation by moving it from main() into a separate function, then call it from a new `engine_init()` Lua function or automatically on the first frame if not explicitly called

4. Replace all hardcoded `GAME_WIDTH`/`GAME_HEIGHT` references with the corresponding variable names throughout the codebase

I'll start with the engine modifications.

2. Add setter functions
3. Refactor window creation to be deferrable4. Replace all usages of the old macros with the new variablesLet me read more of anchor.c around the main() function to understand the initialization flow better.

17. Load and run main.lua
18. Set up timing19. Start main loopThe problem is that the window is created at step 5, before Lua is even initialized (step 14), and certainly before main.lua runs (step 17).The solution is to restructure this so that:**New flow:**
1. Load embedded zip
2. Change working directory
3. Initialize SDL
4. Set GL attributes
5. Initialize Lua, register bindings (including new config setters)
6. Load and run main.lua (which calls `require 'anchor'` with config)
   - This calls the config setters (engine_set_game_size, etc.)
   - This then calls `engine_init()` to create the window
7. Continue with rest of init (GL setup, audio, etc.)Actually, there's a chicken-and-egg problem: some Lua functions might need the GL context (like shader loading). Let me think about this more carefully...Actually, looking at the code, the Lua function registrations (`register_lua_bindings`) don't need the GL context to be set up - they just register the C functions. The GL context is only needed when those functions are actually called (like `shader_load_file`).So the new approach could be:1. SDL init2. GL attributes
3. Initialize Lua, register bindings (including config setters and engine_init)


4. Load and run main.lua, which applies config settings and triggers `engine_init()` to create the window and GL context
5. Set up audio and gamepad after the window exists
6. Configure timing and enter the main loop

The key is moving window creation and most GL setup into a new `engine_init()` function that Lua calls after applying its configuration. This way, the framework can set game dimensions and other parameters before any graphics resources are created. However, I need to handle the case where main.lua fails before calling `engine_init()`.

A simpler alternative would be to delay window creation entirely until after Lua loads and runs its config code. This avoids the error-handling problem and makes the initialization sequence more straightforward—the Lua script configures everything first, then signals the engine to initialize the window and graphics with those settings.

The implementation would split initialization into two phases: first, set up SDL and Lua, register the config functions, and execute main.lua; second, when `engine_init()` is called from Lua, create the window, GL context, and shaders. In anchor.c, I'd convert the hardcoded values to variables with defaults, add setter functions for each config option, and restructure main() to handle both phases. For compatibility, if main.lua doesn't call `engine_init()`, the engine could do it automatically with the defaults.

Now I see the structure. I need to:

1. Replace lines 73-76 with variables
2. Add new variables for vsync, fullscreen, resizable
3. Add setter functions
4. Add engine_init() function
5. Restructure main() to defer window creation

Let me start making the edits.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Now I need to replace all uses of GAME_WIDTH, GAME_HEIGHT, INITIAL_SCALE, and WINDOW_TITLE with the new variable names. Let me do that.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated. All occurrences of 'GAME_WIDTH' were successfully replaced with 'game_width'.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated. All occurrences of 'GAME_HEIGHT' were successfully replaced with 'game_height'.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated. All occurrences of 'INITIAL_SCALE' were successfully replaced with 'initial_scale'.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated. All occurrences of 'WINDOW_TITLE' were successfully replaced with 'window_title'.

Good, now I've replaced all the macros. Now I need to:

1. Add the Lua setter functions for configuration
2. Add the engine_init() function
3. Restructure main() to defer window creation until engine_init() is called

Let me find where to add the setter functions - they should go near the other engine_get_* functions.

Good, now I see where to add the setter functions. I'll add them after the getter functions (after l_engine_get_draw_calls) and before the LUA REGISTRATION section.

I also need to add `engine_init()` which will be called from Lua to create the window. This requires tracking whether the engine has been initialized.

Let me add:

1. A static bool `engine_initialized = false;` 
2. The configuration setter functions
3. The `engine_init()` function
4. Then restructure main() to defer window creation until engine_init() is called

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Good, now I need to:

1. Register these new functions in register_lua_bindings()
2. Modify main() to remove the window/GL creation code (it's now in engine_init)
3. Add a check that engine_init was called before starting the main loop

Let me find the register_lua_bindings function and add the new registrations.

I see the engine_get_* registrations at lines 6870-6882. I need to add the new setter functions and engine_init after those. Let me edit to add them.

I need to modify main() to:1. Keep SDL init and GL attributes setup

2. Remove window creation and all GL setup (now in engine_init)3. Initialize Lua and run main.lua (which will call engine_init via the framework)
4. Add a check that engine_init was called before starting the main loop5. Keep gamepad init, audio init, and timing initLet me make a large edit to replace the main() function. I'll need to carefully remove the window/GL stuff while keeping everything else.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Now I need to update the framework init.yue to:1. Return a function instead of doing immediate setup

2. That function takes a config table3. Calls the engine setter functions
4. Calls engine_init()5. Then does the rest of the current setupBut first, let me build the engine to make sure the C code compiles. Then I'll work on the framework.

There are errors because `create_shader_program`, `vertex_shader_source`, `fragment_shader_source`, `screen_vertex_source`, and `screen_fragment_source` are defined later in the file, but I'm using them in `l_engine_init` which is placed earlier.I need to either:

I see there's already a forward declaration section at line 95. Let me add more forward declarations there for the shader sources and the create_shader_program function.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Wait, I used `extern` for the shader sources, but they're defined as `static` later in the file. That won't work. I need to remove the `static` keyword from the actual definitions, or just move the entire `l_engine_init` function to after these definitions.

Actually, the cleaner solution is to move `l_engine_init` to after the shader sources and `create_shader_program` are defined. That would be the simplest fix.

But that would require a big refactor. Let me think of another approach...

Actually, for `extern` declarations of static variables, the compiler will still find them in the same compilation unit. But the `extern` and `static` linkage conflict would cause issues.

A better approach: Change the shader source variables from `static const char*` to just `const char*` (remove static). Then the extern declarations will work.Or, even simpler: just add a forward declaration for create_shader_program (as I did), and then declare the shader sources as pointers without the static keyword in the forward declaration, but keep them static in their actual definition. That won't work either.

The cleanest approach is to move the engine_init function after the shader definitions. But that requires a larger restructure.

Actually, the simplest fix is to change the shader source definitions from `static const char*` to just `const char*`. Let me do that.

The engine builds successfully now. Just warnings, no errors.Now I need to update the framework init.yue to:

1. Return a function instead of doing immediate setup2. That function takes a config table
3. Calls the engine setter functions4. Calls engine_init()
5. Then does the rest of the current setup

Let me update the todo list and then work on init.yue.

- [completed] Read init.yue to understand current initialization flow

- [completed] Modify anchor.c: convert #defines to variables, add setter functions, defer window creation
- [in_progress] Modify init.yue: return function that takes config table
- [pending] Update ENGINE_API docs with new engine_* functions
- [pending] Update FRAMEWORK_API docs with an.* properties and config
- [pending] Build and test

Now I need to modify init.yue to:1. Wrap everything in a function that takes a config table2. Call the engine setter functions based on the config3. Call engine_init()4. Then do the rest of the current setup5. Return something (the `an` object or nothing)Let me think about what the structure should be:```yue
-- At the top: require all submodules (these don't need the engine to be initialized)
require 'anchor.object'
require 'anchor.layer'
-- etc.-- Return a function that takes configreturn (config={}) ->
  -- Apply config  if config.width and config.height    engine_set_game_size config.width, config.height  if config.title    engine_set_title config.title
  if config.scale    engine_set_scale config.scale  if config.vsync != nil    engine_set_vsync config.vsync
  if config.fullscreen != nil    engine_set_fullscreen config.fullscreen
  if config.resizable != nil    engine_set_resizable config.resizable
  if config.filter    set_filter_mode config.filter  -- Initialize engine (creates window)
  engine_init!  -- Create the 'an' object and do rest of setup
  global an = object 'an'
  an.layers = {}
  -- etc. (the rest of the current init)
```

But wait, there's a complexity: the module returns a function, but we want `an` to be accessible globally. The function sets up `an` when called.Actually, looking at the current code again, it already does `global *` at the top. So all definitions become global. The function approach should work.Let me make the changes to init.yue.

I need to restructure the init.yue file so that:
1. The submodule requires happen at the top (outside any function, so they're loaded when `require 'anchor'` is called)
2. The file returns a function that takes a config table
3. When that function is called:   - Apply config via engine_set_* functions
   - Call engine_init()   - Create the `an` object and do all the setup
   - Define the global `update` functionLet me create the new version of the file. I'll write out the complete new beginning, which will be a significant refactor.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\anchor\init.yue has been updated successfully.

Now I need to continue modifying the rest of the file. The problem is that everything after that first section also needs to be inside the returned function. The file is about 1326 lines, so I need to indent all the remaining content or handle it differently.Actually, looking at the YueScript syntax, I can use `global *` inside the function to make everything global. But the issue is that the rest of the file (all the method definitions like `an.layer`, `an.image`, etc., and the `update` function) needs to be inside this returned function.

I have two options:
1. Indent all the remaining code to be inside the function (massive change)
2. Structure it differently - have the returned function just do config + engine_init, then require the rest

Actually, option 2 would be cleaner. Let me think about this...Actually, the problem with option 2 is that the module system in Lua caches requires. So if I split init.yue into config handling and then a second file for the rest, the second file would only be loaded once.Let me reconsider. The cleanest approach is probably:1. The returned function does the config and calls engine_init
2. Then it continues to execute the rest of the setup code that's already in the file

Looking at my edit, I've started the function but the rest of the file's content is now outside the function. I need to close the function at the very end of the file, after the `update` definition.Actually wait, in YueScript, indentation matters. If I start a function with `return (config={}) ->`, everything at the next indentation level is inside the function. But the rest of the file is at the same indentation level as the requires, so it's outside the function.

I need to indent the entire rest of the file by 2 spaces to make it part of the returned function. That's a lot of changes.Alternatively, I could structure it as:```yue
-- requires at top (outside function)-- Return a function that:


--   1. Applies config
--   2. Calls engine_init
--   3. Requires another file that does the rest of the setup

return (config={}) ->
  -- apply config, call engine_init
  require 'anchor.setup'  -- this does the an object creation, methods, update
```

But that adds complexity with another file. Let me just indent the rest of the file. I'll need to add 2 spaces to every line from where I left off until the end of the file. Actually, looking at the edit I just made, the `global *` and everything after it is already at indentation level 2 (inside the function). So I just need to verify the rest of the content follows the same indentation pattern.

I see - lines 92 onwards are not indented, so they're outside the function. The content from line 92 to the end of the file needs to be indented by 2 spaces to be inside the returned function.This is going to be a large change - I need to add 2 spaces to every line from line 92 to the end of the file. Let me think of a cleaner approach.Actually, there's a simpler way. Instead of having the function contain all the code, I can have:1. The returned function does config + engine_init2. Then it explicitly runs the rest of the setup by calling a local function or by continuing in-lineWait, or I could use a different structure. Let me use a simpler approach:```yue
-- requires at top-- Setup function (does all the work)
local setup = (config) ->
  -- apply config  -- engine_init
  -- create an  -- all the methods  -- update functionsetup()  -- or return it to be called-- Return setup function for games to call with configreturn setup```Actually, let me just properly indent the rest of the file. It's the cleanest solution even though it's a lot of lines.

Actually, I realize there's a much simpler approach. Instead of having the entire file inside the function, I can have the function do just the config part, then require a second file that does the rest. But that adds a file...Or, I can close the function early and then do the rest as top-level code that runs when the function returns... no wait, that doesn't make sense either.

Let me just write out the full new file. The structure will be:1. Top-level requires (framework classes)

2. A function that takes config, applies it, calls engine_init, then does all the setup3. Return that function

I'll need to indent everything from line 92 to the end. Let me do this in chunks or find a better approach.Actually, I can use the Write tool to rewrite the entire file with proper indentation. Let me read the rest of the file first to understand its structure.

... [22 more lines]

I can see the file ends at line 1361 with the `update` function. All of this (lines 92-1361) needs to be indented to be inside the returned function.

Rather than trying to indent everything manually, let me take a different approach. I'll modify the structure so that:

1. The requires stay at the top level2. A local `init` function is defined that does all the setup (lines 42-1361 of the original)
3. The returned function does config, calls engine_init, then calls `init()`

Wait, that won't work either because `init()` would need to be defined at top level, but then it would execute immediately when the module is loaded.Let me think of the cleanest approach...

Actually, the cleanest approach for YueScript is to use a do-end block or to properly structure it. Let me try a different approach:

1. Top-level requires (framework classes)2. Define the returned function3. Inside that function, after config and engine_init, just execute all the setup code directly (properly indented)I'll need to indent all lines from 92 to 1361. That's about 1270 lines. Let me do this with a bash command to add 2 spaces to each line.Actually, I can use a simpler approach - I'll create a do-block after the engine_init call and put all the setup inside it. But that doesn't change the indentation problem.Let me try yet another approach: 
1. Keep requires at top
2. Have the returned function apply config and call engine_init
3. Have the returned function call `dofile` or similar to execute the rest of the setup

No, that's getting too complicated.The simplest solution is to just indent lines 92-1361. Let me do this with a proper replacement. I'll use sed or similar to add indentation. Actually, let me just do it programmatically via bash.

Good, the bash command completed. Let me verify the file looks correct now.

The indentation looks correct now. Lines 92+ are indented with 2 spaces, putting them inside the returned function. Let me also check the end of the file to make sure the update function is properly indented.

Good, the file ends at line 1361 and everything is properly indented inside the function. Now let me compile the YueScript to Lua to see if there are any syntax errors.

Exit code 127

I need to update this main.yue to use the new require syntax with config. Currently it does:
```yuerequire 'anchor'
```I need to change it to:```yue
require('anchor') {}
```Or with explicit config:```yuerequire('anchor')
  width: 480
  height: 270
```
Since this is a test file, let me just use the defaults by passing an empty table or minimal config.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\framework\main.yue has been updated successfully.

Now let me compile and test by running the framework.

The compiled Lua looks correct. I can see:

1. The requires at the top (outside the function)
2. The returned function that takes `config`
3. Configuration being applied before `engine_init()`
4. `engine_init()` being called
5. Then the rest of the setup (creating `an`, etc.)However, I notice that `global *` was inside the function in YueScript, but it doesn't seem to translate to making things global in the compiled Lua. Looking at the compiled output, `an = object('an')` at line 77 is inside the function but isn't explicitly declared global.This might be an issue - the `global *` directive in YueScript makes all subsequent assignments global. Let me check the main.lua to see how the require call looks.

I see that main.lua accesses `an.width`, `an.height`, etc. after the require call. This will only work if `an` is global. Let me check if the `global *` directive inside the returned function actually works in YueScript.

Looking at the compiled init.lua, I don't see any explicit `_G.an = ...` or `global` declarations. This is a problem - the `an` variable created inside the function might not be accessible outside.

Actually, in YueScript, `global *` at the start of a scope makes all subsequent assignments in that scope global. But when it's inside a function, it only affects that function's body. Let me check if there's a different pattern I should use.

Actually, looking at the YueScript compilation, `global *` inside a function should compile to making all assignments use `_G.variable = value` instead of `local variable = value`. Let me check if that's happening...

Looking at line 77 of init.lua: `an = object('an')` - this is NOT `_G.an = object('an')`. So the `global *` inside the function isn't working as expected.

The issue is that `global *` in YueScript works at the module level, not inside functions. When it's inside a function, you need to explicitly use `global an = ...` or just `_G.an = ...` to make variables global.

Let me fix the init.yue to explicitly mark `an` and other necessary things as global.

77:an = object('an')

The compiled Lua shows `an = object('an')` without any `_G.` prefix, which means it might be creating a local variable inside the function. This would cause problems when the main.lua tries to access `an`.Wait, actually in Lua, if you assign to a variable without `local`, it becomes global by default. So `an = object('an')` would actually make `an` global. Let me verify this is the case by checking if there's a `local an` declaration anywhere.Looking at the compiled output, I don't see `local an` anywhere, so `an` should be global. The same goes for `update` function.

Actually, looking more carefully at Lua behavior: in Lua, if there's no `local` declaration, assignments create globals. So `an = object('an')` at line 77 would create a global `an`. This should be fine.Let me double-check by looking for any local declarations:

No matches found

Good, there's no `local an` declaration, so `an` will be a global. The code should work correctly. In Lua, assignments without `local` create globals.Now let me update the todo list and mark the init.yue task as complete. Then I need to update the documentation.

I need to add the initialization section and engine state properties to FRAMEWORK_API_QUICK.md as well.

2. Copy anchor.exe to emoji-ball-battles (overwriting existing)

Now I need to update the main.yue in emoji-ball-battles to use the new require syntax with:

- width: 480
- height: 270
- scale: 2.5 (wait, scale is an int in the engine... let me check)

Actually, looking at the engine code, `initial_scale` is defined as `int`. But 2.5 is a float. The user asked for scale 2.5, so maybe I should change the engine to support float scales? Or maybe I should just use 2 or 3?

Let me check what the user said: "scale 2.5". But the engine uses int for scale. Let me check if lua_checkinteger would truncate 2.5 to 2...

Actually, looking at the code:
```c
static int l_engine_set_scale(lua_State* L) {
    if (engine_initialized) {
        return luaL_error(L, "engine_set_scale must be called before engine_init");
    }
    initial_scale = luaL_checkinteger(L, 1);
    return 0;
}
```

`luaL_checkinteger` will truncate 2.5 to 2. But the user specifically asked for 2.5. Should I change the engine to support float scales?

Actually, looking at how scale is used:
```c
game_width * initial_scale, game_height * initial_scale,
```

This is for window creation size. Non-integer scales could work here. Let me change the engine to use float for initial_scale.

Wait, let me not over-engineer this. The user might just want 2.5 and if it gets truncated to 2, that's fine. Or they might have meant 2 or 3. Let me just use 2.5 as specified and if there's an issue, the user will tell me.

Actually, I should mention this to the user - scale is currently an integer in the engine. Let me proceed with 2.5 and note that it will be truncated to 2. 

I think the simpler approach is to modify the engine to accept float values for scale instead. The multiplication operation works fine with floats, so I'll update `luaL_checkinteger` to `luaL_checknumber` and change `initial_scale` to a float type.

77:static int initial_scale = 3;
6528:    initial_scale = luaL_checkinteger(L, 1);
6573:        game_width * initial_scale, game_height * initial_scale,
6679:    printf("Engine initialized: %dx%d @ %dx scale\n", game_width, game_height, initial_scale);

I need to change `initial_scale` from int to float. Let me make those changes.

... [1 more lines]

The build was successful and it was automatically copied to emoji-ball-battles/tools/. Now I need to update the main.yue in emoji-ball-battles.

The file E:/a327ex/emoji-ball-battles/main.yue has been updated successfully.

Done. Let me also copy the init.yue/init.lua from the Anchor framework to emoji-ball-battles since it needs the updated framework.

Done. All files have been copied. Let me summarize what was done.

The error says `engine_set_game_size` is nil, which means the engine doesn't have that function registered. The build.bat said it copied to emoji-ball-battles/tools/, but maybe the copy didn't happen correctly, or the old executable is being used.

Let me check and manually copy the executable.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 adn 197121 4107776 Jan 20 07:03 E:/a327ex/emoji-ball-battles/tools/anchor.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 adn 197121 4107776 Jan 20 07:03 E:/a327ex/Anchor/engine/build/anchor.exe*

The timestamps are the same, so the file was copied. But wait - the error is about `engine_set_game_size` being nil. Let me check if the function is being registered properly in the engine code. Maybe there's a typo or the registration didn't happen.

Let me check the register_lua_bindings function.

No matches found

The user is saying the anchor.exe should be in the root of emoji-ball-battles, not in tools/. Let me copy it there.

Done. The anchor.exe has been copied to the emoji-ball-battles root folder.

The user is asking if there are framework wrappers for the engine_set_game_size, engine_set_title, etc. functions. Looking at the init.yue, these are called directly from the C engine functions inside the returned initialization function, but there are no `an\` wrapper methods for them.

The current flow is:

1. `require('anchor')` returns a function
2. That function calls `engine_set_game_size`, `engine_set_title`, etc. directly
3. Then calls `engine_init()`

There are no `an\set_game_size` or similar wrappers. The configuration is only done at initialization time through the config table passed to require.

Should there be wrappers? For things like:

- `engine_set_title` - could be useful to change title at runtime
- `engine_set_vsync` - could be useful to toggle at runtime

But for game size, scale, resizable, fullscreen - these are set before engine_init and can't really be changed after.

Let me check what the user might be asking about - maybe they want to know if they exist, or if they should exist.

The user is saying that while the window is at 2.5 scale, the rendering/canvases are at 2 scale. This means there's probably still an int somewhere that's truncating the scale value. Let me search for where scale is used in rendering calculations.

The issue is likely in `engine_get_scale` or somewhere else where scale is calculated or used.

2306:    int int_scale = (int)scale;
2307:    if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
2310:    int scaled_w = game_width * int_scale;
2311:    int scaled_h = game_height * int_scale;
2316:    float gx = (float)(win_x - offset_x) / int_scale;
2317:    float gy = (float)(win_y - offset_y) / int_scale;
6146:    int int_scale = (int)scale;
6147:    if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
6149:    lua_pushnumber(L, (float)mouse_dx / int_scale);
6150:    lua_pushnumber(L, (float)mouse_dy / int_scale);
6462:static int l_engine_get_scale(lua_State* L) {
6467:    int int_scale = (int)((scale_x < scale_y) ? scale_x : scale_y);
6468:    if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
6469:    lua_pushinteger(L, int_scale);
6884:    lua_register(L, "engine_get_scale", l_engine_get_scale);
7639:        int int_scale = (int)scale;
7640:        if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
7643:        int scaled_w = game_width * int_scale;
7644:        int scaled_h = game_height * int_scale;

I see the issue. In the main rendering loop (around line 7639), the scale is being cast to int:

```c
int int_scale = (int)scale;
```

This is truncating 2.5 to 2. The rendering uses `int_scale` for calculating the viewport and scaled dimensions.

I need to change these to use float scale instead of truncating to int. The key places are:

1. Line 7639-7644 - main rendering loop
2. Line 2306-2317 - mouse position calculation
3. Line 6146-6150 - mouse delta calculation
4. Line 6462-6469 - engine_get_scale (this one might need to stay int or become float)

Let me fix these to use float scale properly.

7635→        // Use integer scaling for pixel-perfect rendering
  7636→        float scale_x = (float)window_w / game_width;
  7637→        float scale_y = (float)window_h / game_height;
  7638→        float scale = (scale_x < scale_y) ? scale_x : scale_y;
  7639→        int int_scale = (int)scale;
  7640→        if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
  7641→
  7642→        // Calculate centered position with letterboxing
  7643→        int scaled_w = game_width * int_scale;
  7644→        int scaled_h = game_height * int_scale;
  7645→        int offset_x = (window_w - scaled_w) / 2;
  7646→        int offset_y = (window_h - scaled_h) / 2;
  7647→
  7648→        // Clear screen to black (letterbox color)
  7649→        glViewport(0, 0, window_w, window_h);
  7650→        glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
  7651→        glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
  7652→
  7653→        // Set viewport for game area
  7654→        glViewport(offset_x, offset_y, scaled_w, scaled_h);
  7655→        glUseProgram(screen_shader);
  7656→
  7657→        // Use premultiplied alpha blend for compositing layers to screen
  7658→        // FBO contents are already blended, so we don't multiply by src alpha again
  7659→        glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

I see the issue. The code is using `int_scale` for pixel-perfect rendering, but that truncates 2.5 to 2. The comment even says "Use integer scaling for pixel-perfect rendering".

The question is: does the user want pixel-perfect (integer) scaling, or does the user want the exact scale they specified (2.5)?

For pixel-perfect rendering, you typically want integer scales so that each game pixel maps to exactly N screen pixels. With 2.5x scale, each game pixel would map to 2.5 screen pixels, which means some pixels would be 2 wide and others 3 wide - causing visual inconsistency.

However, the user explicitly asked for 2.5 scale, so they probably want non-integer scaling. Let me change the code to use float scale instead of truncating to int.

I need to fix:

1. The main rendering viewport calculation (lines 7639-7654)
2. The mouse position calculation (lines 2306-2317)
3. The mouse delta calculation (lines 6146-6150)
4. The engine_get_scale function (line 6462-6469) - should this return float now?

Let me make these changes.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Now I need to fix the other places that use int_scale. Let me check and fix the mouse position calculation.

2300→    SDL_GetWindowSize(window, &window_w, &window_h);
  2301→
  2302→    // Calculate scale (same logic as render)
  2303→    float scale_x = (float)window_w / game_width;
  2304→    float scale_y = (float)window_h / game_height;
  2305→    float scale = (scale_x < scale_y) ? scale_x : scale_y;
  2306→    int int_scale = (int)scale;
  2307→    if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
  2308→
  2309→    // Calculate letterbox offset
  2310→    int scaled_w = game_width * int_scale;
  2311→    int scaled_h = game_height * int_scale;
  2312→    int offset_x = (window_w - scaled_w) / 2;
  2313→    int offset_y = (window_h - scaled_h) / 2;
  2314→
  2315→    // Convert to game coordinates
  2316→    float gx = (float)(win_x - offset_x) / int_scale;
  2317→    float gy = (float)(win_y - offset_y) / int_scale;
  2318→
  2319→    *game_x = gx;
  2320→    *game_y = gy;
  2321→
  2322→    // Check if inside game area
  2323→    return (gx >= 0 && gx < game_width && gy >= 0 && gy < game_height);
  2324→}

I need to fix this mouse position calculation to use float scale instead of int_scale.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Now let me fix the mouse delta calculation.

6140→    int window_w, window_h;
  6141→    SDL_GetWindowSize(window, &window_w, &window_h);
  6142→    float scale_x = (float)window_w / game_width;
  6143→    float scale_y = (float)window_h / game_height;
  6144→    float scale = (scale_x < scale_y) ? scale_x : scale_y;
  6145→    int int_scale = (int)scale;
  6146→    if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
  6147→
  6148→    lua_pushnumber(L, (float)mouse_dx / int_scale);
  6149→    lua_pushnumber(L, (float)mouse_dy / int_scale);
  6150→    return 2;
  6151→}
  6152→
  6153→static int l_mouse_set_visible(lua_State* L) {
  6154→    bool visible = lua_toboolean(L, 1);
  6155→    SDL_ShowCursor(visible ? SDL_ENABLE : SDL_DISABLE);
  6156→    return 0;
  6157→}
  6158→
  6159→static int l_mouse_set_grabbed(lua_State* L) {

Now let me fix the mouse delta calculation.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Now let me also update engine_get_scale to return a float instead of int. Let me check that function.

6458→}
  6459→
  6460→static int l_engine_get_scale(lua_State* L) {
  6461→    int window_w, window_h;
  6462→    SDL_GetWindowSize(window, &window_w, &window_h);
  6463→    float scale_x = (float)window_w / game_width;
  6464→    float scale_y = (float)window_h / game_height;
  6465→    int int_scale = (int)((scale_x < scale_y) ? scale_x : scale_y);
  6466→    if (int_scale < 1) int_scale = 1;
  6467→    lua_pushinteger(L, int_scale);
  6468→    return 1;
  6469→}
  6470→
  6471→static int l_engine_is_fullscreen(lua_State* L) {
  6472→    Uint32 flags = SDL_GetWindowFlags(window);

I'll update engine_get_scale to return a float.

The file E:\a327ex\Anchor\engine\src\anchor.c has been updated successfully.

Now I need to rebuild and copy to emoji-ball-battles.

I see. The user wants me to update the file `basic-emoji-anchor-game.md` with the current main.yue code and explain what it does. Let me read the current main.yue from emoji-ball-battles and then update that reference file.

Done. The reference file has been updated with the new code using the require config syntax, and includes a detailed explanation of what each part does.

The user is asking for a title for this session. Let me think about what we accomplished:

1. Identified undocumented engine_get_* functions
2. Added runtime configuration for game size, title, scale, vsync, fullscreen, resizable, filter
3. Changed the framework to use `require('anchor') { config }` pattern
4. Deferred window creation until after Lua can configure it
5. Made scale support floats instead of just integers
6. Updated all documentation (ENGINE_API, FRAMEWORK_API)
7. Updated emoji-ball-battles to use the new system
8. Updated the reference template

The main theme is adding runtime configuration to the engine initialization, specifically the ability to set game resolution and other settings from Lua at require time.

Some title options:

- "Runtime Engine Configuration"
- "Configurable Engine Initialization"
- "require('anchor') Configuration Pattern"
- "Game Resolution Configuration from Lua"
- "Deferred Window Creation with Lua Config"

I think something like "Runtime Engine Configuration" or "Configurable Game Initialization" captures it well.

The user is saying goodbye and ending the session. I should give a brief farewell.
