## 2. Running Tests
|
||||
|
||||
### Using CMake Presets
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to run tests is with `ctest` presets.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run only stable tests (release-ready)
|
||||
ctest --test-dir build --label-regex "STABLE"
|
||||
# Configure a development build (enables ROM-dependent tests)
|
||||
cmake --preset mac-dev -DYAZE_TEST_ROM_PATH=/path/to/your/zelda3.sfc
|
||||
|
||||
# Run experimental tests (allowed to fail)
|
||||
ctest --test-dir build --label-regex "EXPERIMENTAL"
|
||||
# Build the tests
|
||||
cmake --build --preset mac-dev --target yaze_test
|
||||
|
||||
# Run Asar-specific tests
|
||||
ctest --test-dir build -R "*Asar*"
|
||||
|
||||
# Run tests excluding ROM-dependent ones
|
||||
ctest --test-dir build --label-exclude "ROM_DEPENDENT"
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with specific preset
|
||||
ctest --preset stable
|
||||
ctest --preset experimental
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CMake Presets
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Development workflow
|
||||
cmake --preset dev
|
||||
cmake --build --preset dev
|
||||
# Run stable tests (fast, run in CI)
|
||||

||||
# CI workflow
|
||||
cmake --preset ci
|
||||
cmake --build --preset ci
|
||||

|
||||
|

# Release workflow
|
||||

|
||||
ctest --preset stable
|
||||
# Run all tests, including ROM-dependent and experimental
|
||||
ctest --preset all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Writing Tests
|
||||
### Manual Execution
|
||||
|
||||
You can also run tests by invoking the test executable directly or using CTest with labels.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run all tests via the executable
|
||||
./build/bin/yaze_test
|
||||
|
||||
# Run only stable tests using CTest labels
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Execution Strategy
|
||||
1. **Stable tests run first** - Quick feedback for developers
|
||||
2. **Experimental tests run in parallel** - Don't block on unstable tests
|
||||
3. **ROM tests skipped** - No dependency on external files
|
||||
4. **Selective test execution** - Only run relevant tests for changes
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Development Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing Stable Tests
|
||||
- **Fast execution**: Aim for < 1 second per test
|
||||
- **No external dependencies**: Self-contained test data
|
||||
- **Deterministic**: Same results every run
|
||||
- **Core functionality**: Test essential features only
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing ROM-Dependent Tests
|
||||
- **Use TestRomManager**: Proper ROM file handling
|
||||
- **Graceful skipping**: Skip if ROM not available
|
||||
- **Real-world scenarios**: Test with actual game data
|
||||
- **Label appropriately**: Always include ROM_DEPENDENT label
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing Experimental Tests
|
||||
- **Complex scenarios**: Multi-component integration
|
||||
- **Advanced features**: Emulation, complex algorithms
|
||||
- **Performance tests**: May vary by system
|
||||
- **GUI components**: May require display context

# B5 - Architecture and Networking
|
||||
|
||||
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the yaze application's architecture, focusing on its service-oriented design, gRPC integration, and real-time collaboration features.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. High-Level Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The yaze ecosystem is split into two main components: the **YAZE GUI Application** and the **`z3ed` CLI Tool**.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

|
||||
│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
|
||||
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Service Taxonomy
|
||||
|
||||
It's important to distinguish between the two types of "services" in the yaze project.
|
||||
|
||||
### APP Services (gRPC Servers)
|
||||
- **Location**: `src/app/core/service/`, `src/app/net/`
|
||||
- **Runs In**: YAZE GUI application
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Expose application functionality to remote clients (like the `z3ed` CLI).
|
||||
- **Type**: gRPC **SERVER** implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Services (Business Logic)
|
||||
- **Location**: `src/cli/service/`
|
||||
- **Runs In**: `z3ed` CLI tool
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Implement the business logic for the CLI commands.
|
||||
- **Type**: These are helper classes, **NOT** gRPC servers. They may include gRPC **CLIENTS** to connect to the APP Services.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. gRPC Services
|
||||
|
||||
yaze exposes its core functionality through a `UnifiedGRPCServer` that hosts multiple services on a single port (typically 50051).
|
||||
|
||||
### ImGuiTestHarness Service
|
||||
- **Proto**: `imgui_test_harness.proto`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: GUI automation.
|
||||
- **Features**: Click, type, screenshots, widget discovery.
|
||||
|
||||
### RomService
|
||||
- **Proto**: `rom_service.proto`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Low-level ROM manipulation.
|
||||
- **Features**: Read/write bytes, proposal system for collaborative editing, snapshots for version management.
|
||||
|
||||
### CanvasAutomation Service
|
||||
- **Proto**: `canvas_automation.proto`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: High-level, abstracted control over canvas-based editors.
|
||||
- **Features**: Tile operations (get/set), selection management, view control (pan/zoom).
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Real-Time Collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
Real-time collaboration is enabled through a WebSocket-based protocol managed by the `yaze-server`, a separate Node.js application.
|
||||
|
||||
### Architecture
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────┐ WebSocket ┌──────────────┐
|
||||
│ yaze app │◄────────────────────────────►│ yaze-server │
|
||||
│ (GUI) │ │ (Node.js) │
|
||||
└─────────────┘ └──────────────┘
|
||||
▲ ▲
|
||||
│ gRPC │ WebSocket
|
||||
└─────────────┐ │
|
||||
┌──────▼──────┐ │
|
||||
│ z3ed CLI │◄──────────────────────┘
|
||||
└─────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Components
|
||||
- **ROM Version Manager**: Protects the ROM from corruption with snapshots and safe points.
|
||||
- **Proposal Approval Manager**: Manages a collaborative voting system for applying changes.
|
||||
- **Collaboration Panel**: A UI within the YAZE editor for managing collaboration.
|
||||
|
||||
### WebSocket Protocol
|
||||
The WebSocket protocol handles real-time messaging for:
|
||||
- Hosting and joining sessions.
|
||||
- Broadcasting ROM diffs (`rom_sync`).
|
||||
- Sharing and voting on proposals (`proposal_share`, `proposal_vote`).
|
||||
- Sharing snapshots.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Data Flow Example: AI Agent Edits a Tile
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User** runs `z3ed agent --prompt "Paint grass at 10,10"`.
|
||||
2. The **GeminiAIService** (a CLI Service) parses the prompt and returns a tool call to `overworld-set-tile`.
|
||||
3. The **ToolDispatcher** (a CLI Service) routes this to the appropriate handler.
|
||||
4. The **Tile16ProposalGenerator** (a CLI Service) creates a proposal.
|
||||
5. The **GuiAutomationClient** (a CLI Service acting as a gRPC client) calls the `CanvasAutomation.SetTile()` RPC method on the YAZE application's `UnifiedGRPCServer`.
|
||||
6. The **CanvasAutomationService** in the YAZE app receives the request and uses the `CanvasAutomationAPI` to paint the tile.
|
||||
7. If collaboration is active, the change is submitted through the **ProposalApprovalManager**, which communicates with the `yaze-server` via WebSocket to manage voting.
|
||||
8. Once approved, the change is applied to the ROM and synced with all collaborators.

# E2 - Development Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This guide outlines the core architectural patterns, UI systems, and best practices for developing and maintaining the Yaze editor. Adhering to these patterns is crucial for ensuring consistency, maintainability, and performance.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Core Architectural Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
These patterns, established during the Overworld Editor refactoring, should be applied to all new and existing editor components.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 1: Modular Systems
|
||||
|
||||
**Principle**: Decompose large, monolithic editor classes into smaller, single-responsibility modules.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Rendering**: All drawing logic should be extracted into dedicated `*Renderer` classes (e.g., `OverworldEntityRenderer`). The main editor class should delegate drawing calls, not implement them.
|
||||
- **UI Panels**: Complex UI panels should be managed by their own classes (e.g., `MapPropertiesSystem`), which then communicate with the parent editor via callbacks.
|
||||
- **Interaction**: Canvas interaction logic (mouse handling, editing modes) should be separated from the main editor class to simplify state management.
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**: Smaller, focused modules are easier to test, debug, and maintain. The main editor class becomes a coordinator, which is a much cleaner architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 2: Callback-Based Communication
|
||||
|
||||
**Principle**: Use `std::function` callbacks for child-to-parent communication to avoid circular dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Implementation**: A parent editor provides its child components with callbacks (typically via a `SetCallbacks` method) during initialization. The child component invokes these callbacks to notify the parent of events or to request actions (like a refresh).
|
||||
- **Example**: `MapPropertiesSystem` receives a `RefreshCallback` from `OverworldEditor`. When a property is changed in the UI, it calls the function, allowing the `OverworldEditor` to execute the refresh logic without the `MapPropertiesSystem` needing to know anything about the editor itself.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 3: Centralized Progressive Loading via `gfx::Arena`
|
||||
|
||||
**Principle**: All expensive asset loading operations must be performed asynchronously to prevent UI freezes. The `gfx::Arena` singleton provides a centralized, priority-based system for this.
|
||||
|
||||
- **How it Works**:
|
||||
1. **Queue**: Instead of loading a texture directly, queue it with the arena: `gfx::Arena::Get().QueueDeferredTexture(bitmap, priority);`
|
||||
2. **Prioritize**: Assign a numerical priority. Lower numbers are higher priority. Use a high priority for assets the user is currently viewing and a low priority for assets that can be loaded in the background.
|
||||
3. **Process**: In the main `Update()` loop of an editor, process a small batch of textures each frame: `auto batch = gfx::Arena::Get().GetNextDeferredTextureBatch(4, 2);` (e.g., 4 high-priority, 2 low-priority).
|
||||
- **Benefit**: This provides a globally consistent, non-blocking loading mechanism that is available to all editors and ensures the UI remains responsive.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. UI & Theming System
|
||||
|
||||
To ensure a consistent and polished look and feel, all new UI components must adhere to the established theme and helper function system.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1. The Theme System (`AgentUITheme`)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Principle**: **Never use hardcoded colors (`ImVec4`)**. All UI colors must be derived from the central theme.
|
||||
- **Implementation**: The `AgentUITheme` system (`src/app/editor/agent/agent_ui_theme.h`) provides a struct of semantic color names (e.g., `panel_bg_color`, `status_success`, `provider_ollama`). These colors are automatically derived from the application's current `ThemeManager`.
|
||||
- **Usage**: Fetch the theme at the beginning of a draw call and use the semantic colors:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
const auto& theme = AgentUI::GetTheme();
|
||||
ImGui::PushStyleColor(ImGuiCol_ChildBg, theme.panel_bg_color);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2. Reusable UI Helper Functions
|
||||
|
||||
- **Principle**: Encapsulate common UI patterns into helper functions to reduce boilerplate and ensure consistency.
|
||||
- **Available Helpers** (in `AgentUI` and `gui` namespaces):
|
||||
- **Panels**: `AgentUI::PushPanelStyle()` / `PopPanelStyle()`
|
||||
- **Headers**: `AgentUI::RenderSectionHeader(icon, label, color)`
|
||||
- **Indicators**: `AgentUI::RenderStatusIndicator()` (status dot), `AgentUI::StatusBadge()` (colored text badge).
|
||||
- **Buttons**: `AgentUI::StyledButton()`, `AgentUI::IconButton()`.
|
||||
- **Layout**: `AgentUI::VerticalSpacing()`, `AgentUI::HorizontalSpacing()`.
|
||||
- **Benefit**: Creates a consistent visual language and makes the UI code far more readable and maintainable.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.3. Toolbar Implementation (`CompactToolbar`)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stretching**: To prevent ImGui from stretching the last item in a toolbar, do not use `ImGui::BeginGroup()`. Instead, manage layout with `ImGui::SameLine()` and end the toolbar with `ImGui::NewLine()`.
|
||||
- **Separators**: Use `ImGui::SeparatorEx(ImGuiSeparatorFlags_Vertical)` for vertical separators that do not affect item layout.
|
||||
- **Property Inputs**: Use the `toolbar.AddProperty()` method for consistent spacing and sizing of input fields within the toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Key System Implementations & Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1. Graphics Refresh Logic
|
||||
|
||||
- **Immediate vs. Deferred**: When a visual property changes, the texture must be updated on the GPU immediately. Use `Renderer::Get().RenderBitmap()` for an immediate, blocking update. `UpdateBitmap()` is deferred and should not be used for changes the user expects to see instantly.
|
||||
- **Call Order is Critical**: When a property affecting graphics is changed, the correct sequence of operations is crucial:
|
||||
1. Update the property in the data model.
|
||||
2. Call the relevant `Load*()` method (e.g., `map.LoadAreaGraphics()`) to load the new data from the ROM into memory.
|
||||
3. Force a redraw/re-render of the bitmap.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2. Multi-Area Map Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
- **Use the Helper**: When changing a map's area size (e.g., from `Small` to `Large`), you **must** use the `zelda3::Overworld::ConfigureMultiAreaMap()` method. Do not set the `area_size` property directly.

||||
- **Why**: This method correctly handles the complex logic of assigning parent IDs to all sibling maps and updating the necessary ROM data for persistence. Failure to use it will result in inconsistent state and refresh bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.3. Version-Specific Feature Gating
|
||||
|
||||
- **Principle**: The UI must adapt to the features supported by the loaded ROM. Do not show UI for features that are not available.
|
||||
- **Implementation**: Check the ROM's `asm_version` byte before rendering a UI component. If the feature is not supported, display a helpful message (e.g., "This feature requires ZSCustomOverworld v3+") instead of the UI.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.4. Entity Visibility for Visual Testing
|
||||
|
||||
- **Standard**: All overworld entity markers (entrances, exits, items, sprites) should be rendered with a high-contrast color and an alpha of `0.85f` to ensure they are clearly visible against any background.
|
||||
- **Entrances**: Bright yellow-gold
|
||||
- **Exits**: Cyan-white
|
||||
- **Items**: Bright red
|
||||
- **Sprites**: Bright magenta

# G1 - Canvas System and Automation
|
||||
|
||||
This document provides a comprehensive guide to the Canvas system in yaze, including its architecture, features, and the powerful automation API that enables programmatic control for the `z3ed` CLI, AI agents, and GUI testing.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Canvas Structure
|
||||
- **Background**: Drawing surface with border and optional scrolling
|
||||
- **Content Layer**: Bitmaps, tiles, custom graphics
|
||||
- **Grid Overlay**: Optional grid with hex labels
|
||||
- **Interaction Layer**: Hover previews, selection rectangles
|
||||
|
||||
### Coordinate Systems
|
||||
- **Screen Space**: ImGui window coordinates
|
||||
- **Canvas Space**: Relative to canvas origin (0,0)
|
||||
- **Tile Space**: Grid-aligned tile indices
|
||||
- **World Space**: Overworld 4096x4096 large map coordinates
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Canvas API and Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Modern Begin/End Pattern
|
||||
The recommended way to use the canvas is with the `Begin()`/`End()` pattern, which handles setup and teardown automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.Begin(ImVec2(512, 512));
|
||||
canvas.DrawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, 2.0f);
|
||||
canvas.End(); // Automatic grid + overlay
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Feature: Tile Painting
|
||||
The canvas provides methods for painting single tiles, painting from a tilemap, and painting with solid colors.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
if (canvas.DrawTilePainter(current_tile_bitmap, 16, 2.0f)) {
|
||||
ImVec2 paint_pos = canvas.drawn_tile_position();
|
||||
ApplyTileToMap(paint_pos, current_tile_id);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Feature: Tile Selection
|
||||
The canvas supports both single-tile and multi-tile rectangle selection.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.DrawSelectRect(current_map_id, 16, 1.0f);
|
||||
|
||||
if (canvas.select_rect_active()) {
|
||||
const auto& selected_tiles = canvas.selected_tiles();
|
||||
// Process selection...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Feature: Large Map Support
|
||||
The canvas can handle large maps with multiple local maps, including boundary clamping to prevent selection wrapping.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.SetClampRectToLocalMaps(true); // Default - prevents wrapping
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Feature: Context Menu
|
||||
The canvas has a customizable context menu.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.AddContextMenuItem({
|
||||
"My Action",
|
||||
[this]() { DoAction(); }
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Canvas Automation API
|
||||
|
||||
The `CanvasAutomationAPI` provides a programmatic interface for controlling canvas operations, enabling scripted editing, AI agent integration, and automated testing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessing the API
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
auto* api = canvas.GetAutomationAPI();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tile Operations
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Paint a single tile
|
||||
bool SetTileAt(int x, int y, int tile_id);
|
||||
|
||||
// Get the tile ID at a specific location
|
||||
int GetTileAt(int x, int y) const;
|
||||
|
||||
// Paint multiple tiles in a batch
|
||||
bool SetTiles(const std::vector<std::tuple<int,int,int>>& tiles);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Selection Operations
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Select a single tile
|
||||
void SelectTile(int x, int y);
|
||||
|
||||
// Select a rectangular region of tiles
|
||||
void SelectTileRect(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2);
|
||||
|
||||
// Get the current selection state
|
||||
SelectionState GetSelection() const;
|
||||
|
||||
// Clear the current selection
|
||||
void ClearSelection();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### View Operations
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Scroll the canvas to make a tile visible
|
||||
void ScrollToTile(int x, int y);
|
||||
|
||||
// Set the canvas zoom level
|
||||
void SetZoom(float zoom_level);
|
||||
|
||||
// Get the current zoom level
|
||||
float GetZoom() const;
|
||||
|
||||
// Center the canvas view on a specific coordinate
|
||||
void CenterOn(int x, int y);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Query Operations
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Get the dimensions of the canvas in tiles
|
||||
CanvasDimensions GetDimensions() const;
|
||||
|
||||
// Get the currently visible region of the canvas
|
||||
VisibleRegion GetVisibleRegion() const;
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if a tile is currently visible
|
||||
bool IsTileVisible(int x, int y) const;
|
||||
|
||||
// Get the cursor position in logical tile coordinates
|
||||
ImVec2 GetCursorPosition() const;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Simulation Operations (for GUI Automation)
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Simulate a mouse click at a specific tile
|
||||
void SimulateClick(int x, int y, ImGuiMouseButton button = ImGuiMouseButton_Left);
|
||||
|
||||
// Simulate a drag operation between two tiles
|
||||
void SimulateDrag(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2);
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for the canvas to finish processing
|
||||
void WaitForIdle();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. `z3ed` CLI Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The Canvas Automation API is exposed through the `z3ed` CLI, allowing for scripted overworld editing.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Set a tile
|
||||
z3ed overworld set-tile --map 0 --x 10 --y 10 --tile-id 0x0042 --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
|
||||
# Get a tile
|
||||
z3ed overworld get-tile --map 0 --x 10 --y 10 --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
|
||||
# Select a rectangle
|
||||
z3ed overworld select-rect --map 0 --x1 5 --y1 5 --x2 15 --y2 15 --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
|
||||
# Scroll to a tile
|
||||
z3ed overworld scroll-to --map 0 --x 20 --y 20 --center --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. gRPC Service
|
||||
|
||||
The Canvas Automation API is also exposed via a gRPC service, allowing for remote control of the canvas.
|
||||
|
||||
**Proto Definition (`protos/canvas_automation.proto`):**
|
||||
```protobuf
|
||||
service CanvasAutomation {
|
||||
rpc SetTileAt(SetTileRequest) returns (SetTileResponse);
|
||||
rpc GetTileAt(GetTileRequest) returns (GetTileResponse);
|
||||
rpc SelectTileRect(SelectTileRectRequest) returns (SelectTileRectResponse);
|
||||
// ... and so on for all API methods
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This service is hosted by the `UnifiedGRPCServer` in the main yaze application, allowing tools like `grpcurl` or custom clients to interact with the canvas remotely.

# Canvas System
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The Canvas class provides a flexible drawing surface for the YAZE ROM editor, supporting tile-based editing, bitmap display, grid overlays, and interactive selection.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Canvas Structure
|
||||
- **Background**: Drawing surface with border and optional scrolling
|
||||
- **Content Layer**: Bitmaps, tiles, custom graphics
|
||||
- **Grid Overlay**: Optional grid with hex labels
|
||||
- **Interaction Layer**: Hover previews, selection rectangles
|
||||
|
||||
### Coordinate Systems
|
||||
- **Screen Space**: ImGui window coordinates
|
||||
- **Canvas Space**: Relative to canvas origin (0,0)
|
||||
- **Tile Space**: Grid-aligned tile indices
|
||||
- **World Space**: Overworld 4096x4096 large map coordinates
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 1: Basic Bitmap Display
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
gui::Canvas canvas("MyCanvas", ImVec2(512, 512));
|
||||
|
||||
canvas.DrawBackground();
|
||||
canvas.DrawContextMenu();
|
||||
canvas.DrawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, 2.0f); // scale 2x
|
||||
canvas.DrawGrid(16.0f);
|
||||
canvas.DrawOverlay();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 2: Modern Begin/End
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.Begin(ImVec2(512, 512));
|
||||
canvas.DrawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, 2.0f);
|
||||
canvas.End(); // Automatic grid + overlay
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 3: RAII ScopedCanvas
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
gui::ScopedCanvas canvas("Editor", ImVec2(512, 512));
|
||||
canvas->DrawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, 2.0f);
|
||||
// Automatic cleanup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature: Tile Painting
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Tile Painting
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
if (canvas.DrawTilePainter(current_tile_bitmap, 16, 2.0f)) {
|
||||
ImVec2 paint_pos = canvas.drawn_tile_position();
|
||||
ApplyTileToMap(paint_pos, current_tile_id);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works**:
|
||||
- Shows preview of tile at mouse position
|
||||
- Aligns to grid
|
||||
- Returns `true` on left-click + drag
|
||||
- Updates `drawn_tile_position()` with paint location
|
||||
|
||||
### Tilemap Painting
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
if (canvas.DrawTilemapPainter(tilemap, current_tile_id)) {
|
||||
ImVec2 paint_pos = canvas.drawn_tile_position();
|
||||
ApplyTileToMap(paint_pos, current_tile_id);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use for**: Painting from tile atlases (e.g., tile16 blockset)
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Painting
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
ImVec4 paint_color(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Red
|
||||
if (canvas.DrawSolidTilePainter(paint_color, 16)) {
|
||||
ImVec2 paint_pos = canvas.drawn_tile_position();
|
||||
ApplyColorToMap(paint_pos, paint_color);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature: Tile Selection
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Tile Selection
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
if (canvas.DrawTileSelector(16)) {
|
||||
// Double-click detected
|
||||
OpenTileEditor();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if tile was clicked (single click)
|
||||
if (!canvas.points().empty() && ImGui::IsMouseClicked(ImGuiMouseButton_Left)) {
|
||||
ImVec2 selected = canvas.hover_mouse_pos();
|
||||
current_tile = CalculateTileId(selected);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-Tile Rectangle Selection
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.DrawSelectRect(current_map_id, 16, 1.0f);
|
||||
|
||||
if (canvas.select_rect_active()) {
|
||||
// Get selected tile coordinates
|
||||
const auto& selected_tiles = canvas.selected_tiles();
|
||||
|
||||
// Get rectangle bounds
|
||||
const auto& selected_points = canvas.selected_points();
|
||||
ImVec2 start = selected_points[0];
|
||||
ImVec2 end = selected_points[1];
|
||||
|
||||
// Process selection
|
||||
for (const auto& tile_pos : selected_tiles) {
|
||||
ProcessTile(tile_pos);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Selection Flow**:
|
||||
1. Right-click drag to create rectangle
|
||||
2. `selected_tiles_` populated with tile coordinates
|
||||
3. `selected_points_` contains rectangle bounds
|
||||
4. `select_rect_active()` returns true
|
||||
|
||||
### Rectangle Drag & Paint
|
||||
|
||||
**Overworld-Specific**: Multi-tile copy/paste pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// In CheckForSelectRectangle():
|
||||
if (canvas.select_rect_active()) {
|
||||
// Pre-compute tile IDs from selection
|
||||
for (auto& pos : canvas.selected_tiles()) {
|
||||
tile_ids.push_back(GetTileIdAt(pos));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Show draggable preview
|
||||
canvas.DrawBitmapGroup(tile_ids, tilemap, 16, scale);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// In CheckForOverworldEdits():
|
||||
if (canvas.select_rect_active() && ImGui::IsMouseClicked(ImGuiMouseButton_Left)) {
|
||||
// Paint the tiles at new location
|
||||
auto start = canvas.selected_points()[0];
|
||||
auto end = canvas.selected_points()[1];
|
||||
|
||||
int i = 0;
|
||||
for (int y = start_y; y <= end_y; y += 16, ++i) {
|
||||
for (int x = start_x; x <= end_x; x += 16) {
|
||||
PaintTile(x, y, tile_ids[i]);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature: Custom Overlays
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Points Manipulation
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Clear previous highlight
|
||||
canvas.mutable_points()->clear();
|
||||
|
||||
// Add custom selection box
|
||||
canvas.mutable_points()->push_back(ImVec2(x, y));
|
||||
canvas.mutable_points()->push_back(ImVec2(x + width, y + height));
|
||||
|
||||
// DrawOverlay() will render this as a white outline
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Used for**: Custom selection highlights (e.g., blockset current tile indicator)
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature: Large Map Support
|
||||
|
||||
### Map Types
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Size | Structure | Notes |
|
||||
|------|------|-----------|-------|
|
||||
| Small | 512x512 | 1 local map | Standard |
|
||||
| Large | 1024x1024 | 2x2 grid | 4 local maps |
|
||||
| Wide | 1024x512 | 2x1 grid | 2 local maps |
|
||||
| Tall | 512x1024 | 1x2 grid | 2 local maps |
|
||||
|
||||
### Boundary Clamping
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Rectangle selection can wrap across 512x512 local map boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Enabled by default
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.SetClampRectToLocalMaps(true); // Default - prevents wrapping
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works**:
|
||||
- Detects when rectangle would cross a 512x512 boundary
|
||||
- Clamps preview to stay within current local map
|
||||
- Prevents visual and functional wrapping artifacts
|
||||
|
||||
**Revert if needed**:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.SetClampRectToLocal Maps(false); // Old behavior
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Map Sizes
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// For custom ROM hacks with different map structures
|
||||
canvas.DrawBitmapGroup(tiles, tilemap, 16, scale,
|
||||
custom_local_size, // e.g., 1024
|
||||
ImVec2(custom_width, custom_height)); // e.g., (2048, 2048)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature: Context Menu
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Custom Items
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple**:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.AddContextMenuItem({
|
||||
"My Action",
|
||||
[this]() { DoAction(); }
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**With Shortcut**:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.AddContextMenuItem({
|
||||
"Save",
|
||||
[this]() { Save(); },
|
||||
"Ctrl+S"
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Conditional**:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.AddContextMenuItem(
|
||||
Canvas::ContextMenuItem::Conditional(
|
||||
"Delete",
|
||||
[this]() { Delete(); },
|
||||
[this]() { return has_selection_; } // Only enabled when selection exists
|
||||
)
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Overworld Editor Example
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void SetupOverworldCanvasContextMenu() {
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.ClearContextMenuItems();
|
||||
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.AddContextMenuItem({
|
||||
current_map_lock_ ? "Unlock Map" : "Lock to This Map",
|
||||
[this]() { current_map_lock_ = !current_map_lock_; },
|
||||
"Ctrl+L"
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.AddContextMenuItem({
|
||||
"Map Properties",
|
||||
[this]() { show_map_properties_panel_ = true; },
|
||||
"Ctrl+P"
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.AddContextMenuItem({
|
||||
"Refresh Map",
|
||||
[this]() { RefreshOverworldMap(); },
|
||||
"F5"
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature: Scratch Space (In Progress)
|
||||
|
||||
**Concept**: Temporary canvas for tile arrangement before pasting to main map
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
struct ScratchSpaceSlot {
|
||||
gfx::Bitmap scratch_bitmap;
|
||||
std::array<std::array<int, 32>, 32> tile_data;
|
||||
bool in_use = false;
|
||||
std::string name;
|
||||
int width = 16;
|
||||
int height = 16;
|
||||
|
||||
// Independent selection
|
||||
std::vector<ImVec2> selected_tiles;
|
||||
bool select_rect_active = false;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: Data structures exist, UI not yet complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 1: Overworld Tile Painting
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// 1. Setup canvas
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.Begin();
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Draw current map
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.DrawBitmap(current_map_bitmap, 0, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Handle painting
|
||||
if (!ow_map_canvas_.select_rect_active() &&
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.DrawTilemapPainter(tile16_blockset_, current_tile16_)) {
|
||||
PaintTileToMap(ow_map_canvas_.drawn_tile_position());
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. Handle rectangle selection
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.DrawSelectRect(current_map_);
|
||||
if (ow_map_canvas_.select_rect_active()) {
|
||||
ShowRectanglePreview();
|
||||
if (ImGui::IsMouseClicked(ImGuiMouseButton_Left)) {
|
||||
PaintRectangleToMap();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// 5. Finish
|
||||
ow_map_canvas_.End();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 2: Tile16 Blockset Selection
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// 1. Setup

|
||||
// 2. Draw blockset
|
||||
blockset_canvas_.DrawBitmap(blockset_bitmap, 0, 0, scale);
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Handle selection
|
||||
if (blockset_canvas_.DrawTileSelector(32)) {
|
||||
// Double-click - open editor
|

|
||||
|
||||
// 5. Finish
|
||||
blockset_canvas_.End();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 3: Graphics Sheet Display
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
gui::ScopedCanvas canvas("GfxSheet", ImVec2(128, 256));
|
||||
|
||||
canvas->DrawBitmap(graphics_sheet, 0, 0, 1.0f);
|
||||
|
||||
if (canvas->DrawTileSelector(8)) {
|
||||
EditGraphicsTile(canvas->hover_mouse_pos());
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatic cleanup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Grid Settings
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.SetGridStep(16.0f); // 16x16 grid
|
||||
canvas.SetEnableGrid(true); // Show grid
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scale Settings
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.SetGlobalScale(2.0f); // 2x zoom
|
||||
canvas.SetZoomToFit(bitmap); // Auto-fit to window
|
||||
canvas.ResetView(); // Reset to 1x, (0,0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Interaction Settings
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.set_draggable(true); // Enable pan with right-drag
|
||||
canvas.SetContextMenuEnabled(true); // Enable right-click menu
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Large Map Settings
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
canvas.SetClampRectToLocalMaps(true); // Prevent boundary wrapping (default)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ Rectangle Selection Wrapping
|
||||
|
||||
When dragging a multi-tile rectangle selection near 512x512 local map boundaries in large maps, tiles still paint in the wrong location (wrap to left side of map).
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause Analysis**:
|
||||
The issue involves complex interaction between the original selection coordinates, the clamped preview position while dragging, and the final paint calculation. If the clamped preview is smaller than the original selection, the loop indices can go out of sync, causing tiles to be read from the wrong source position.
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: A fix has been implemented for the painting logic by pre-computing tile IDs, but a visual wrapping artifact may still occur during the drag preview itself. Further investigation is needed to perfectly clamp the preview.
|
||||

||||

void ClearContextMenuItems();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Points Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Two separate point arrays**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **points_**: Hover preview (white outline)
|
||||
- Updated by tile painter methods
|
||||
- Can be manually set for custom highlights
|
||||
- Rendered by `DrawOverlay()`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **selected_points_**: Selection rectangle (white box)
|
||||
- Updated by `DrawSelectRect()`
|
||||
- Updated by `DrawBitmapGroup()` during drag
|
||||
- Rendered by `DrawOverlay()`
|
||||
|
||||
### Selection State
|
||||
|
||||
**Three pieces of selection data**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **selected_tiles_**: Vector of ImVec2 coordinates
|
||||
- Populated by `DrawSelectRect()` on right-click drag
|
||||
- Contains tile positions from ORIGINAL selection
|
||||
- Used to fetch tile IDs
|
||||
|
||||
2. **selected_points_**: Rectangle bounds (2 points)
|
||||
- Start and end of rectangle
|
||||
- Updated during drag by `DrawBitmapGroup()`
|
||||
- Used for painting location
|
||||
|
||||
3. **selected_tile_pos_**: Single tile selection (ImVec2)
|
||||
- Set by right-click in `DrawSelectRect()`
|
||||
- Used for single tile picker
|
||||
- Reset to (-1, -1) after use
|
||||
|
||||
### Overworld Rectangle Painting Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. User right-click drags in overworld
|
||||
↓
|
||||
2. DrawSelectRect() creates selection
|
||||
- Populates selected_tiles_ with coordinates
|
||||
- Sets selected_points_ to rectangle bounds
|
||||
- Sets select_rect_active_ = true
|
||||
↓
|
||||
3. CheckForSelectRectangle() every frame
|
||||
- Gets tile IDs from selected_tiles_ coordinates
|
||||
- Stores in selected_tile16_ids_ (pre-computed)
|
||||
- Calls DrawBitmapGroup() for preview
|
||||
↓
|
||||
4. DrawBitmapGroup() updates preview position
|
||||
- Follows mouse
|
||||
- Clamps to 512x512 boundaries
|
||||
- Updates selected_points_ to new position
|
||||
↓
|
||||
5. User left-clicks to paint
|
||||
↓
|
||||
6. CheckForOverworldEdits() applies tiles
|
||||
- Uses selected_points_ for NEW paint location
|
||||
- Uses selected_tile16_ids_ for tile data
|
||||
- Paints correctly without recalculation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### DO ✅
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `Begin()/End()` for new code (cleaner)
|
||||
- Use `ScopedCanvas` for exception safety
|
||||
- Check `select_rect_active()` before accessing selection
|
||||
- Validate array sizes before indexing
|
||||
- Use helper constructors for context menu items
|
||||
- Enable boundary clamping for large maps
|
||||
|
||||
### DON'T ❌
|
||||
|
||||
- Don't clear `points_` if you need the hover preview
|
||||
- Don't assume `selected_tiles_.size() == loop iterations` after clamping
|
||||
- Don't recalculate tile IDs during painting (use pre-computed)
|
||||
- Don't access `selected_tiles_[i]` without bounds check
|
||||
- Don't modify `points_` during tile painter calls (managed internally)
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Rectangle wraps at boundaries
|
||||
**Fix**: Ensure `SetClampRectToLocalMaps(true)` (default)
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Painting in wrong location
|
||||
**Fix**: Use pre-computed tile IDs, not recalculated from selected_tiles_
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Array index out of bounds
|
||||
**Fix**: Add bounds check: `i < selected_tile_ids.size()`
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Forgot to call End()
|
||||
**Fix**: Use `ScopedCanvas` for automatic cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
## Future: Scratch Space
|
||||
|
||||
**Planned features**:
|
||||
- Temporary tile arrangement canvas
|
||||
- Copy/paste between scratch and main map
|
||||
- Multiple scratch slots (4 available)
|
||||
- Save/load scratch layouts
|
||||
|
||||
**Current status**: Data structures exist, UI pending
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The Canvas system provides:
|
||||
- ✅ Flexible bitmap display
|
||||
- ✅ Tile painting with preview
|
||||
- ✅ Single and multi-tile selection

## 🏗️ Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### **YazeGRPCServer** (formerly UnifiedGRPCServer)
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
class YazeGRPCServer {
|
||||
public:
|
||||
struct Config {
|
||||
int port = 50051;
|
||||
bool enable_test_harness = true;
|
||||
bool enable_rom_service = true;
|
||||
bool enable_canvas_automation = true; // NEW!
|
||||
bool require_approval_for_rom_writes = true;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
absl::Status Initialize(
|
||||
int port,
|
||||
test::TestManager* test_manager = nullptr,
|
||||
app::Rom* rom = nullptr,
|
||||
app::net::RomVersionManager* version_mgr = nullptr,
|
||||
app::net::ProposalApprovalManager* approval_mgr = nullptr,
|
||||
CanvasAutomationServiceImpl* canvas_service = nullptr); // NEW!
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Service Stack**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
YazeGRPCServer (Port 50051)
|
||||
├── ImGuiTestHarness [GUI automation]
|
||||
├── RomService [ROM manipulation]
|
||||
└── CanvasAutomation [Canvas operations] ✅ NEW
|
||||
```

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Technical Details
|
||||
|
||||
### **Incomplete Type Solution**
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: `unique_ptr<CanvasAutomationServiceGrpc>` caused incomplete type errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
1. Store as `unique_ptr<grpc::Service>` (base class)
|
||||
2. Factory function returns `grpc::Service*`
|
||||
3. Destructor defined in .cc file
|
||||
4. Proto includes only in .cc file
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Header: Store as base class
|
||||
std::unique_ptr<grpc::Service> canvas_grpc_service_;
|
||||
|
||||
// Implementation: Factory returns base class
|
||||
std::unique_ptr<grpc::Service> CreateCanvasAutomationServiceGrpc(
|
||||
CanvasAutomationServiceImpl* impl) {
|
||||
return std::make_unique<CanvasAutomationServiceGrpc>(impl);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Service Wrapper Pattern**
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
class CanvasAutomationServiceGrpc final : public proto::CanvasAutomation::Service {
|
||||
public:
|
||||
explicit CanvasAutomationServiceGrpc(CanvasAutomationServiceImpl* impl)
|
||||
: impl_(impl) {}
|
||||
|
||||
grpc::Status SetTile(...) override {
|
||||
return ConvertStatus(impl_->SetTile(request, response));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// ... 13 more RPC methods ...
|
||||
|
||||
private:
|
||||
CanvasAutomationServiceImpl* impl_;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||

## 🚀 Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### **C++ Application Initialization**
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Create canvas automation service
|
||||
auto canvas_service = std::make_unique<CanvasAutomationServiceImpl>();
|
||||
|
||||
// Register overworld editor's canvas
|
||||
canvas_service->RegisterCanvas("OverworldCanvas",
|
||||
overworld_editor->GetOverworldCanvas());
|
||||
canvas_service->RegisterOverworldEditor("OverworldCanvas",
|
||||
overworld_editor);
|
||||
|
||||
// Start YAZE gRPC server
|
||||
YazeGRPCServer grpc_server;
|
||||
grpc_server.Initialize(50051, test_manager, rom, version_mgr, approval_mgr,
|
||||
canvas_service.get());
|
||||
grpc_server.StartAsync(); // Non-blocking
|
||||
|
||||
// ... run your app ...
|
||||
|
||||
grpc_server.Shutdown();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
import grpc
|
||||
from protos import canvas_automation_pb2_grpc, canvas_automation_pb2
|
||||
|
||||
# Connect to YAZE

# Networking and Collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
**Version**: 0.2.0-alpha
|
||||
**Last Updated**: October 5, 2025
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the networking, collaboration, and remote access features within the z3ed ecosystem. These systems are designed to enable everything from real-time collaborative ROM hacking to powerful AI-driven remote automation.
|
||||
|
||||
The architecture is composed of three main communication layers:
|
||||
1. **WebSocket Protocol**: A real-time messaging layer for multi-user collaboration, managed by the `yaze-server`.
|
||||
2. **gRPC Service**: A high-performance RPC layer for programmatic remote ROM manipulation, primarily used by the `z3ed` CLI and automated testing harnesses.
|
||||
3. **Collaboration Service**: A high-level C++ API within the YAZE application that integrates version management with the networking protocols.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1. System Diagram

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2. Core Components
|
||||
|
||||
The collaboration system is built on two key C++ components:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **ROM Version Manager** (`app/net/rom_version_manager.h`)
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Protects the ROM from corruption and unwanted changes.
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Automatic periodic snapshots and manual checkpoints.
|
||||
- "Safe points" to mark host-verified versions.
|
||||
- Corruption detection and automatic recovery to the last safe point.
|
||||
- Ability to roll back to any previous version.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Proposal Approval Manager** (`app/net/rom_version_manager.h`)
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Manages a collaborative voting system for applying changes.
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Multiple approval modes: `Host-Only` (default), `Majority`, and `Unanimous`.
|
||||
- Automatically creates snapshots before and after a proposal is applied.
|
||||
- Handles the submission, voting, and application/rejection of proposals.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Collaboration Panel** (`app/gui/widgets/collaboration_panel.h`)
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Provides a dedicated UI within the YAZE editor for managing collaboration.
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Version history timeline with one-click restore.
|
||||
- ROM synchronization tracking.
|
||||
- Visual snapshot gallery.
|
||||
- A voting and approval interface for pending proposals.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Protocols
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1. WebSocket Protocol (yaze-server v2.0)
|
||||
|
||||
Used for real-time, multi-user collaboration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Connection**:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8765');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Message Types**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Sender | Payload Description |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| `host_session` | Client | Initiates a new session with a name, username, and optional ROM hash. |
|
||||
| `join_session` | Client | Joins an existing session using a 6-character code. |
|
||||
| `rom_sync` | Client | Broadcasts a base64-encoded ROM diff to all participants. |
|
||||
| `proposal_share` | Client | Shares a new proposal (e.g., from an AI agent) with the group. |
|
||||
| `proposal_vote` | Client | Submits a vote (approve/reject) for a specific proposal. |
|
||||
| `snapshot_share` | Client | Shares a snapshot (e.g., a screenshot) with the group. |
|
||||
| `proposal_update` | Server | Broadcasts the new status of a proposal (`approved`, `rejected`). |
|
||||
| `proposal_vote_received`| Server | Confirms a vote was received and shows the current vote tally. |
|
||||
| `session_hosted` | Server | Confirms a session was created and returns its code. |
|
||||
| `session_joined` | Server | Confirms a user joined and provides session state (participants, history). |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2. gRPC Service (Remote ROM Manipulation)
|
||||
|
||||
Provides a high-performance API for programmatic access to the ROM, used by the `z3ed` CLI and test harnesses.
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ Designed and Implemented. Pending final build system integration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Protocol Buffer (`protos/rom_service.proto`)**:
|
||||
|
||||
```proto
|
||||
service RomService {
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
rpc ReadBytes(ReadBytesRequest) returns (ReadBytesResponse);
|
||||
rpc WriteBytes(WriteBytesRequest) returns (WriteBytesResponse);
|
||||
rpc GetRomInfo(GetRomInfoRequest) returns (GetRomInfoResponse);
|
||||
|
||||
// Overworld
|
||||
rpc ReadOverworldMap(ReadOverworldMapRequest) returns (ReadOverworldMapResponse);
|
||||
rpc WriteOverworldTile(WriteOverworldTileRequest) returns (WriteOverworldTileResponse);
|
||||
|
||||
// Dungeon
|
||||
rpc ReadDungeonRoom(ReadDungeonRoomRequest) returns (ReadDungeonRoomResponse);
|
||||
rpc WriteDungeonTile(WriteDungeonTileRequest) returns (WriteDungeonTileResponse);
|
||||
|
||||
// Proposals
|
||||
rpc SubmitRomProposal(SubmitRomProposalRequest) returns (SubmitRomProposalResponse);
|
||||
rpc GetProposalStatus(GetProposalStatusRequest) returns (GetProposalStatusResponse);
|
||||
|
||||
// Version Management
|
||||
rpc CreateSnapshot(CreateSnapshotRequest) returns (CreateSnapshotResponse);
|
||||
rpc RestoreSnapshot(RestoreSnapshotRequest) returns (RestoreSnapshotResponse);
|
||||
rpc ListSnapshots(ListSnapshotsRequest) returns (ListSnapshotsResponse);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Case: Write with Approval via `z3ed`**
|
||||
The `z3ed` CLI can submit a change as a proposal via gRPC and wait for a host to approve it in the YAZE GUI.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. CLI connects and submits a proposal via gRPC
|
||||
z3ed net connect --host server.example.com --port 50051
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "Make dungeon 5 harder" --submit-grpc-proposal
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. The YAZE GUI receives the proposal and the host approves it.
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. The z3ed CLI polls for the status and receives the approval.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Client Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1. YAZE App Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The `CollaborationService` provides a high-level API that integrates the version manager, approval manager, and WebSocket client.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#include "app/net/collaboration_service.h"
|
||||
|
||||
// High-level service that integrates everything
|
||||
auto collab_service = std::make_unique<net::CollaborationService>(rom);
|
||||
|
||||
// Initialize with managers
|
||||
collab_service->Initialize(config, version_mgr, approval_mgr);
|
||||
|
||||
// Connect and host
|
||||
collab_service->Connect("localhost", 8765);
|
||||
collab_service->HostSession("My Hack", "username");
|
||||
|
||||
// Submit local changes as a proposal to the group
|
||||
collab_service->SubmitChangesAsProposal("Modified dungeon room 5", "username");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.2. z3ed CLI Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI provides `net` commands for interacting with the collaboration server.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Connect to a collaboration server
|
||||
z3ed net connect --host localhost --port 8765
|
||||
|
||||
# Join an existing session
|
||||
z3ed net join --code ABC123 --username myname
|
||||
|
||||
# Submit an AI-generated change as a proposal and wait for it to be approved
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "Make boss room more challenging" --submit-proposal --wait-approval
|
||||
|
||||
# Manually check a proposal's status
|
||||
z3ed net proposal status --id prop_123
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Best Practices & Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
- **For Hosts**: Enable auto-backups, mark safe points after playtesting, and use `Host-Only` approval mode for maximum control.
|
||||
- **For Participants**: Submit all changes as proposals, wait for approval, and use descriptive names.
|
||||
- **For Everyone**: Test changes in an emulator before submitting, make small atomic changes, and communicate with the team.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
- **"Failed to connect"**: Check that the `yaze-server` is running and the port is not blocked by a firewall.
|
||||
- **"Corruption detected"**: Use `version_mgr->AutoRecover()` or manually restore the last known safe point from the Collaboration Panel.
|
||||
- **"Snapshot not found"**: Verify the snapshot ID is correct and wasn't deleted due to storage limits.
|
||||
- **"SSL handshake failed"**: Ensure you are using a `wss://` URL and that a valid SSL certificate is configured on the server.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Security Considerations
|
||||
- **Transport Security**: Production environments should use WebSocket Secure (`wss://`) with a valid SSL/TLS certificate.
|
||||
- **Approval Security**: `Host-Only` mode is the safest. For more open collaboration, consider a token-based authentication system.
|
||||
- **ROM Protection**: The `RomVersionManager` is the primary defense. Always create snapshots before applying proposals and mark safe points often.
|
||||
- **Rate Limiting**: The `yaze-server` enforces a rate limit (default: 100 messages/minute) to prevent abuse.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
- **Encrypted WebSocket (WSS) support**
|
||||
- **Diff visualization in UI**
|
||||
- **Merge conflict resolution**
|
||||
- **Branch/fork support for experimental changes**
|
||||
- **AI-assisted proposal review**
|
||||
- **Cloud snapshot backup**
|
||||
- **Multi-host sessions**
|
||||
- **Access control lists (ACLs)**
|
||||
- **WebRTC for peer-to-peer connections**
|
||||
- **Binary protocol for faster ROM syncs**
|
||||
- **Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff**
|
||||
- **Connection pooling for multiple sessions**
|
||||
- **NAT traversal for home networks**
|
||||
- **End-to-end encryption for proposals**

## Multimodal Vision Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Capture Canvas Screenshot
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From CLI
|
||||
z3ed agent vision --capture-canvas "Overworld Canvas" \
|
||||
--prompt "Analyze this overworld map" \
|
||||
--rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
|
||||
# From agent workflow
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "Analyze map 0 and suggest improvements" \
|
||||
--rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: AI Analyzes Screenshot
|
||||
Gemini Vision API receives:
|
||||
- Screenshot of canvas (PNG/JPEG)
|
||||
- User prompt
|
||||
- Context (map index, visible region)
|
||||
|
||||
AI returns:
|
||||
```json
|
||||

|
||||
"analysis": {
|
||||
"observations": [
|
||||
"Grass tiles dominate the visible area",
|
||||
"Tree tiles are sparse and unnatural",
|
||||
"Water tiles at (15,15) have incorrect palette colors",
|
||||
"Path from (5,5) to (25,5) is broken"

|
||||
"suggestion": "Add more tree tiles for forest theme"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Generate Edit Plan
|
||||
AI creates actionable plan:
|
||||
```json
|
||||

||||
{"x": 10, "y": 10, "tile_id": 66},
|
||||
{"x": 11, "y": 10, "tile_id": 66},
|
||||
{"x": 12, "y": 10, "tile_id": 66}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"reason": "Create denser forest area"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Execute Plan (Sandbox)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# z3ed executes plan in sandbox
|
||||
z3ed agent run --plan plan.json --rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Human Review
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View proposed changes
|
||||
z3ed agent diff --proposal-id abc123
|
||||
|
||||
# Accept or reject
|
||||
z3ed agent accept --proposal-id abc123
|
||||
# or
|
||||
z3ed agent reject --proposal-id abc123
|
||||
```

## Best Practices for AI Agents
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Always Analyze Before Editing
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# GOOD: Check current state first
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "Analyze map 0 then suggest improvements" --rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
# BAD: Blindly paint without context
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "Paint trees everywhere" --rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Use Batch Operations
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# GOOD: Single batch operation
|
||||
overworld-set-tiles-batch (50 tiles)
|
||||
|
||||
# BAD: 50 individual operations
|
||||
overworld-set-tile (×50)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Provide Clear Reasoning
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tool": "overworld-set-tile",
|
||||
"parameters": {"x": 10, "y": 10, "tile_id": 66},
|
||||
"reason": "Creating forest theme - tree tile at center"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Respect Tile Boundaries
|
||||
Large maps (0x00-0x09, 0x80-0x89) are 512×512 pixels = 32×32 tiles.
|
||||
Don't paint beyond `(31, 31)` for these maps.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Check Visibility
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"step": 1,
|
||||
"tool": "overworld-get-visible-region",
|
||||
"reason": "Ensure tiles are visible before analysis"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Create Reversible Edits
|
||||
Always generate proposals that can be rejected:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "..." --rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox # Creates proposal
|
||||
z3ed agent reject --proposal-id abc123 # Can undo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### "Tile ID out of range"
|
||||
- **Cause**: Invalid tile ID (>4095 for Tile16)
|
||||
- **Fix**: Validate tile IDs before `set-tile`
|
||||
|
||||
### "Coordinates out of bounds"
|
||||
- **Cause**: Painting beyond map boundaries
|
||||
- **Fix**: Check map dimensions (typically 32×32 tiles)
|
||||
|
||||
### "Proposal rejected"
|
||||
- **Cause**: Human reviewer rejected changes
|
||||
- **Fix**: Analyze feedback, adjust plan, try again
|
||||
|
||||
### "ROM file locked"
|
||||
- **Cause**: ROM file open in another process
|
||||
- **Fix**: Close other instances of YAZE
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Testing AI-Generated Edits
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Testing
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate proposal
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "..." --rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
# Review in YAZE GUI
|
||||
yaze zelda3.sfc
|
||||
# Open Debug → Agent Chat → Proposals
|
||||
# Review proposal, accept/reject
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Automated Testing
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# GUI automation test
|
||||
z3ed agent test replay overworld_ai_edit.jsonl --rom zelda3.sfc --grpc localhost:50051
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate tile placement
|
||||
z3ed agent test assert --tile-at 10,10 --expected-tile 66 --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Techniques
|
||||
|
||||
### Technique 1: Pattern Recognition
|
||||
Use multimodal vision to detect patterns:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
z3ed agent vision --capture-canvas "Overworld Canvas" \
|
||||
--prompt "Identify repeated tile patterns in this map" \
|
||||
--rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
AI detects:
|
||||
- Forest clusters
|
||||
- Water bodies
|
||||
- Paths and roads
|
||||
- Building layouts
|
||||
|
||||
### Technique 2: Style Transfer
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "Make this map look like Kakariko Village from the dark world" \
|
||||
--rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
AI:
|
||||
1. Analyzes Kakariko Village (map 0x18)
|
||||
2. Extracts tile palette and patterns
|
||||
3. Applies similar patterns to target map
|
||||
|
||||
### Technique 3: Procedural Generation
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "Generate a random forest area at 10,10 with natural-looking tree placement" \
|
||||
--rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
AI uses procedural algorithms:
|
||||
- Perlin noise for natural randomness
|
||||
- Clustering for realistic tree placement
|
||||
- Edge smoothing for organic boundaries

## Integration with GUI Automation
|
||||
|
||||
### Record Human Edits
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Record editing session
|
||||
z3ed agent test record --suite overworld_forest.jsonl --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Replay for AI Training
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Replay recorded session
|
||||
z3ed agent test replay overworld_forest.jsonl --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
|
||||
# AI learns from human edits
|
||||
z3ed agent learn --from-recording overworld_forest.jsonl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validate AI Edits
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# AI generates edits
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "..." --rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
# GUI automation validates
|
||||
z3ed agent test verify --proposal-id abc123 --suite validation_tests.jsonl
|
||||
```

## Collaboration Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Collaboration
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Connect to yaze-server
|
||||
z3ed net connect ws://localhost:8765
|
||||
|
||||
# Join session
|
||||
z3ed net join ABC123 --username "ai-agent"
|
||||
|
||||
# AI agent edits, humans review in real-time
|
||||
z3ed agent run --prompt "..." --rom zelda3.sfc --sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
# Proposal synced to all participants
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Proposal Voting
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Submit proposal to session
|
||||
z3ed proposal submit --proposal-id abc123 --session ABC123
|
||||
|
||||
# Wait for votes
|
||||
z3ed proposal wait --proposal-id abc123
|
||||
|
||||
# Check result
|
||||
z3ed proposal status --proposal-id abc123
|
||||
# Output: approved (3/3 votes)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Not Responding
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check AI provider
|
||||
z3ed agent ping
|
||||
|
||||
# Test simple query
|
||||
z3ed agent simple-chat "Hello" --rom zelda3.sfc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tools Not Available
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify z3ed build
|
||||
z3ed agent describe --resource overworld
|
||||
|
||||
# Should show:
|
||||
# - overworld-get-tile
|
||||
# - overworld-set-tile
|
||||
# - overworld-analyze-region
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### gRPC Connection Failed
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check YAZE is running with gRPC
|
||||
z3ed agent test ping --grpc localhost:50051
|
||||
|
||||
# Start YAZE with gRPC enabled
|
||||
yaze --enable-grpc zelda3.sfc
|
||||
```
