WEB WORKER FORMAT

{code,platform,tool,dependencies}
{preload}

new:

{updates,buildsteps}
[{filepath,platform,tool}]

implicit rules
- push/shift build steps
- preprocessor, compile, assemble, link
- access to intermediate files

only build files that have changed

build options


BUILD PROJECT

local/foo.project/*.*
build all files in project
send update for dependencies at startup (single file version)
should be able to change file w/o reloading (Not platform tho)

pulldown selects file in project, or goes back to parent
gotta preserve editor windows for each one - window list
make source/disasm window visible when debugging
gutter info/errors in all files



UI REFACTOR

editor
debugger
disasm view
memory
profile
errors

separate into files

window methods:
- set
- mode
- get
- changes
- cursorActivity (inspect)
- gutters (setCompileOutput)
- current line / gutter marker (setCurrentLine / clearCurrentLine)
- source map
- global symbols
- pixel editor / find comment (openBitmapEditorAtCursor)
- update debug window (200 ms)
- inspect variable

file store mirrors that on worker

worker result:
{
	output:<rom>
	sources:{
		<path>:{lines, asmlines, listing}
	}
}

add file to errors

PIXEL EDITOR

everything is an editor
back/forward propogation
encoded <-> raw + spec + palette(s) <-> full tilemap <-> selected tile/sprite/metasprite
need references
panes: source code, metadata tree, graphics panes
decoded info:
- CHR tiles
- palettes
- maps/rooms
- metasprites
- metatiles
- sprite data (williams etc)
store in intermediate single file or embed in C/ASM?
we'd then have to generate C/ASM probably automatically
intermediate file could still be edited
switch between hex/graphic editor? (palettes should edit via hex)
final display types: number, color, sprite, etc
CHR editor has palette selector, obj selector
individual objects in single file or multiple files?
RLE compression

Types
- byte
- RGBA color
- structured object
  - metasprite
  - metatile
  - level actor
- bitmap
- array of stuff, array can have a shape (width,height) like numpy
Mappers can refer to multiple objs
Slice (window) of array for selections

AssetEditorView
- scan files for assets
- build hierarchical view of assets
- expand/collapse
- create editor upon expansion
- double-click to source file

Assets come from:
- chr files
- bitmap data in files
- structured data (palette, sprites, metasprites, levels, etc)
- think about new comment format, platform-specific types


Github Support

Import
Export
Login
Pull
Push

Git metadata kept in local storage

Converting from NESASM to DASM
- asl a -> asl
- subroutine keyword on labels
- [zp],y to (zp),y
- LOW(x) and HIGH(x) to <() and >()
- .db to .byte, .dw to .word
- use NES_HEADER macros
- no .bank

Cross platform NES/SMS/GG library
- use CHR RAM
  - create flipped tiles/sprites
  - create alternate palette tiles
- metatiles
- cross platform music/sound
- scrolling
  - row/column mask
  - no nametable mirroring in SMS
  - 256x240 vs 256x192

Emulator Lib
- move getPresets() (into presets/ dir?)
- CPU interface
  - execCycle(), execInsn()
  - fix/unfix PC
  - interrupt
- generic raster scanline platform
- PlatformRunner
  - handles rewind, intra-frame breakpoint, debugging
  - profiling log, exec/read/write/intr (for each bus?)
- expose video, audio, controller interfaces
- new debugging info
- memory map interface
- "About" metadata
- auto load/save state?
- handle legacy
  - VCS
  - NES
  - MAME
