-- Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod: a full 3D diorama overworld, shipped as a
-- rendering pipeline mod.
--
-- The engine's render_pipelines registry (src/mods/Schemas.lua) lets a mod
-- own part of the frame. This mod registers two:
--
-- voxel a drawWorld pipeline. Instead of the flat tile blit, the
-- overworld's terrain is extruded into real geometry, walked
-- by a depth-buffered 3D camera, with characters as leaning
-- sprite slabs and a shadow map throwing real cast shadows
-- across whatever they land on. Occlusion is the depth
-- buffer, not a y-sort: walk behind a building and the
-- building is simply in front.
--
-- tiltshift a worldPresent pipeline -- the stage that post-processes
-- the finished world BEFORE the UI composites over it. A
-- tilt-shift blur that sells the miniature-model look, on the
-- diorama only, leaving text boxes and menus crisp.
--
-- Everything a display mode needs beyond the two draw functions -- the
-- OFF/15/35/50 ladder, the options rows, the hotkeys, persistence in
-- save.options.pipelines, the free-roam gate, the mutual exclusion with
-- the engine's TILT mode -- is engine plumbing driven by the records
-- below. This file declares; lib/ draws.
--
-- Voxel mode is presentational: it changes what the world LOOKS like and
-- nothing about what it IS. TWO rungs are the deliberate exception. 1ST
-- (the camera in the player's own eyes) and 3RD (the same rig, boomed back
-- behind their shoulder) replace the grid WALK with a free,
-- camera-relative one while either is selected (lib/FreeMove.lua), because
-- a camera you can steer with a mouse demands feet that go where it looks.
-- Even there the game is untouched: the walk asks the engine's own
-- collision the same questions a grid step asks, keeps the player's
-- logical cell synced, and fires the engine's own landing pipeline per
-- cell crossed -- warps, encounters, ledges, gates and scripts all run
-- exactly as themselves. Step off the rung and the grid walk is back.

-- (3) and GBC FX (5) are unreachable by key -- and unreachable on the OPTIONS

-- pinEngineFx). Nothing is being hidden that still does something: TILT is the
-- flat fake of what this mode does for real, the registry already forces it
-- off whenever a world pipeline takes the pass, and GBC FX is a full-screen
-- present pass over the top of the diorama. Uninstalling puts both back.
--
-- Everything the engine does around a pipeline hotkey has to happen here

-- applies its own gate and ladder, and the three lines after it are the

-- display modes, the engine only spliced them beside TILT because it had
-- nowhere better, and TILT is not on the menu any more anyway (see below).
--
-- Two things it takes to move a pipeline row: the engine's descriptor is
-- captured on the way past and handed to SettingsMenu VERBATIM -- it persists
-- through its own step function into save.options.pipelines, and rebuilding
-- it here would be a second implementation of something the engine already
-- got right -- and the row is then dropped from the top-level list so it is

-- ------- TILT and GBC FX are gone while this mod is installed
--
-- Both fight the diorama, and both were already half-taken: the mode's own key
-- (3) forces them off on every press, and the registry switches TILT off
-- whenever a world pipeline takes the pass. What was left was two rows the
-- player could set and watch get reverted -- TILT is the flat fake of what
-- this mode does for real, and GBC FX is a full-screen present pass over the
-- top of the whole thing.
--
-- So they come OFF the menu, and are HELD at zero rather than merely dropped.
-- Hiding a live setting is a trap: a save written before the mod was installed
-- can carry TILT 3, and a row that is not there is a row that cannot turn it
-- back off. Pinned wherever the value could have arrived from -- the menu
-- opening, a save being loaded or begun -- so there is no route by which one
-- of them is on and unreachable.
--
-- Everything they did is still reachable: uninstall the mod and both rows are
-- back, at whatever they were last set to.
-- BATTLE BG rides the same reasoning, and comes off for a reason of its own.
-- The row picks what fills the screen AROUND the battle's 160x144 field --
-- WHITE paper, BLACK bars, or the frozen overworld dimmed behind it -- and
-- all three were answers to the same question: what to do with the voids,
-- given the battle is a small picture in the middle of a big window.
--
-- This mod answers that question differently and permanently. A staged fight
-- fills the whole window with the map the fight is standing on, and the
-- flat battle screen it composites over it is drawn on the mode's own
-- surface; there are no voids left for the row to fill. WORLD is the worst
-- of the three under it -- it makes the battle non-opaque so the engine
-- draws the overworld underneath, which is a SECOND copy of the world drawn
-- under the one the arena pass already put there, dimmed and at a different
-- camera. BLACK bars over a diorama read as a letterboxed screenshot.
--
-- So the value is pinned at WHITE, which is the one the mode was composed
-- against, and the row comes off the menu on the same reasoning as TILT and
-- GBC FX: a row that no longer decides anything is worse than no row.
-- Uninstall the mod and it is back, at whatever it was last set to.

-- card-key doors are stamped closed on floor load

-- remember to do the same. They all funnel through ONE choke point --
-- Map:setBlock -- so wrap that from here instead. Map is a plain
-- metatable shared by every map instance, so this covers all of them,
-- including paths written after this mod.
--
-- Read back rather than trust the argument: setBlock silently ignores an

--
-- ON, always, with no row to switch it off: shininess is a property of the
-- Pokemon rather than a display mode, and a Pokemon that is shiny in one
-- player's save and not another's is not a Pokemon, it is a setting.
--
-- It rests on a fact the engine already ships. Gen 1 has no shininess of its
-- own, but it has the four DVs Gen 2 reads to decide it, and
-- src/pokemon/Stats.lua:90 carries that reading -- the engine's own comment
-- calls it "the RBY virtual shiny" and says it is there for indicator mods.
-- So nothing new is stored on a Pokemon and nothing has to migrate: every
-- save ever made already contains the answer, and this only starts drawing
-- it. See lib/Shiny.lua for why deriving beats storing.
--
-- Three seams, each in its own file with its own reasoning:
-- ShinyBattle wraps Pokemon.new, which is where every wild, gift,
-- starter and traded mon is built, so the roll lands before
-- the sprite is baked
-- ShinyUI the battle pics' tint and the status page's mark
-- ShinyFx the arrival sparkle (armed from Stadium.update)

-- stick's axes (Game:gamepadaxis passes them to Input, which returns early
-- on anything but the left pair), relative mouse motion (love.mousemoved --
-- there is no Game handler to wrap; the engine's own callback only feeds
-- the mouse-as-touch debug path, which stays untouched), the mouse buttons
-- while the cursor is captured (A and B -- there is no cursor to click UI
-- with), and any touch that lands off the overlay's controls (a drag on
-- open screen is the look; the d-pad and buttons still go to
-- TouchControls, whose own d-pad finger is also read back analog as the
-- move vector). Every wrap forwards whatever it does not claim, and claims
-- only while one of the two rungs is actually driving.
--
-- FreeMove.install wraps OverworldState:handleInput -- the one choke point
-- where the grid walk reads the pad, and the same seam the engine's own
-- Cycling Road pull lives behind. While either drives, the walk is continuous
-- and camera-relative; the player's logical cell stays synced and every
-- per-cell consequence still runs through the engine's own machinery
-- (onStepComplete, checkEdgeExit, checkLedgeHop, checkBoulderPush). The
-- file argues the whole arrangement.
FirstPerson.install()
FreeMove.install()
-- ------- the zooms, and the battle camera the player can steer
--
-- CamControl claims the wheel, Q/E, the mouse and the touch screen for
-- whichever camera is actually in front of the player -- the staged
-- battle's, the third-person boom, or the engine's own survey zoom -- and
-- forwards everything else. Installed AFTER the two above deliberately: a
-- wrap installed later is the OUTER one, so a fight gets first refusal on
-- the mouse and the fingers, which is right, because while one is staged
-- the free-roam look is not driving.
CamControl.install()
-- ------- SELECT walks the angle ladder
--
-- The same step the "3" key makes, on the pad's own button: a phone (and
-- a controller) has no number row, and SELECT has no overworld job in
-- Gen 1 -- its work is all in-menu, which this wrap never sees. The seam
-- is OverworldState:handleInput, the same choke point the free walk
-- replaced: every gate above it -- menus, dialogs, scripted moves,
-- transitions -- already decided the overworld owns the buttons, so a
-- SELECT here is free-roam by construction, exactly like the key. When
-- the step is refused (mid-warp, no 3D pass) the press falls through to
-- the engine's own handling, which is a no-op, as ever.
--
-- Installed AFTER FreeMove.install, deliberately: its wrap must sit
-- OUTSIDE the free walk's, or first person -- where FreeMove.tick takes
-- the frame and never calls further in -- would eat the button, and the
-- one rung SELECT could not step off of would be 1ST itself.

-- is where keyboard, pad, touch and the VR controllers have all already
-- become the same eight buttons. See lib/Horde.lua.
Horde.install()
-- ------- LET'S GO capture mode
--
-- After every other input seam on purpose: while a throw is being aimed
-- the capture's mouse and touch wraps are the OUTERMOST, so the flick is
-- read before anything else can claim the pointer -- and outside the aim
-- they forward every byte untouched. The battle-side wraps (throwBall,
-- safariAction) and the experience hooks install here too.
LetsGo.install()
-- ------- edge-anchored menus stay in the GB frame while a headset is live
--
-- The engine's zoom-aware anchoring (Renderer:setUIAnchor) docks the START
-- menu to the WINDOW's top-right edge. Both VR screens -- the floating
-- panel and the Pokedex -- crop the window to the GB frame, so a menu at
-- the window's edge is cropped away with the border it docked to. The
-- engine's own answer to "a state composes its screen, keep every element
-- inside it" is uiAnchorHold, computed per frame from this predicate; a
-- live headset is exactly that situation for the WHOLE window, so the
-- predicate answers yes for as long as one is. Held menus blit where they
-- were drawn in the 160x144 canvas -- the START menu's 9,0 x 11 slot is
-- already flush with the frame's right edge, which is the right edge of
-- what the headset sees. Off-headset frames fall through untouched.

-- the black, and the map fades up. The two seams it needs -- BattleState:finish
-- and Renderer:endFrame -- and the reasoning for each live in lib/BattleExit.lua.
--
-- Declared as a transitions record rather than a constant in that file, so the
-- fade is retunable in data exactly like the eight wipes it answers, and a total
-- conversion can make it as long or as short as its own pacing wants.

-- that fell on the diorama left the flat world at permanent noon. One clock,

-- reasoning for that exact instant is in the file.
