+# YAZE Dungeon Editor - Complete Technical Guide
+
+**Last Updated**: October 10, 2025  
+**Status**: ✅ PRODUCTION READY

+
+## Overview
+
+The Dungeon Editor uses a modern card-based architecture (DungeonEditorV2) with self-contained room rendering. Each room manages its own background buffers independently.
+
+### Key Features
+- ✅ **Visual room editing** with 512x512 canvas per room
+- ✅ **Object position visualization** - Colored outlines showing object placement
+- ✅ **Per-room settings** - BG1/BG2 visibility, layer types
+- ✅ **Live palette editing** - Immediate visual feedback
+- ✅ **Flexible docking** - EditorCard system for custom layouts
+- ✅ **Overworld integration** - Double-click entrances to open rooms
+
+### Architecture Principles
+1. **Self-Contained Rooms** - Each room owns its bitmaps and palettes
+2. **Correct Loading Order** - LoadRoomGraphics → LoadObjects → RenderRoomGraphics
+3. **Single Palette Application** - Applied once in `RenderRoomGraphics()`
+4. **EditorCard UI** - No rigid tabs, flexible docking
+5. **Backend/UI Separation** - DungeonEditorSystem (backend) + DungeonEditorV2 (UI)
+
+---
+
+## Critical Bugs Fixed
+
+### Bug #1: Segfault on Startup ✅
+**Cause**: `ImGui::GetID()` called before ImGui context ready  
+**Fix**: Moved to `Update()` when ImGui is initialized  
+**File**: `dungeon_editor_v2.cc:160-163`
+
+### Bug #2: Floor Values Always Zero ✅
+**Cause**: `RenderRoomGraphics()` called before `LoadObjects()`  
+**Fix**: Correct sequence - LoadRoomGraphics → LoadObjects → RenderRoomGraphics  
+**File**: `dungeon_editor_v2.cc:442-460`  
+**Impact**: Floor graphics now load correctly (4, 8, etc. instead of 0)
+
+### Bug #3: Duplicate Floor Variables ✅
+**Cause**: `floor1` (public) vs `floor1_graphics_` (private)  
+**Fix**: Removed public members, added accessors: `floor1()`, `set_floor1()`  
+**File**: `room.h:341-350`  
+**Impact**: UI floor edits now trigger immediate re-render
+
+### Bug #4: ObjectRenderer Confusion ✅
+**Cause**: Two rendering systems (ObjectDrawer vs ObjectRenderer)  
+**Fix**: Removed ObjectRenderer, standardized on ObjectDrawer  
+**Files**: `dungeon_canvas_viewer.h/cc`, `dungeon_object_selector.h/cc`  
+**Impact**: Single, clear rendering path
+
+### Bug #5: Duplicate Property Detection ✅
+**Cause**: Two property change blocks, second never ran  
+**Fix**: Removed duplicate block  
+**File**: `dungeon_canvas_viewer.cc:95-118 removed`  
+**Impact**: Property changes now trigger correct re-renders
+

+
+## Architecture
+
+### Component Overview
+
+```
+DungeonEditorV2 (UI Layer)
+├─ Card-based UI system
+├─ Room window management
+├─ Component coordination
+└─ Lazy loading
+
+DungeonEditorSystem (Backend Layer)
+├─ Sprite management
+├─ Item management
+├─ Entrance/Door/Chest management
+├─ Undo/Redo functionality
+└─ Dungeon-wide operations
+
+Room (Data Layer)
+├─ Self-contained buffers (bg1_buffer_, bg2_buffer_)
+├─ Object storage (tile_objects_)
+├─ Graphics loading
+└─ Rendering pipeline
+```
+
+### Room Rendering Pipeline
+
+```
+1. LoadRoomGraphics(blockset)
+   └─> Reads blocks[] from ROM
+   └─> Loads blockset data → current_gfx16_
+
+2. LoadObjects()
+   └─> Parses object data from ROM
+   └─> Creates tile_objects_[]
+   └─> SETS floor1_graphics_, floor2_graphics_ ← CRITICAL!
+
+3. RenderRoomGraphics() [SELF-CONTAINED]
+   ├─> DrawFloor(floor1_graphics_, floor2_graphics_)
+   ├─> DrawBackground(current_gfx16_)
+   ├─> RenderObjectsToBackground()
+   │   └─> ObjectDrawer::DrawObjectList()
+   ├─> SetPalette(full_90_color_dungeon_palette)
+   └─> QueueTextureCommand(CREATE, bg1_bmp, bg2_bmp)
+
+4. DrawRoomBackgroundLayers(room_id)
+   └─> ProcessTextureQueue() → GPU textures
+   └─> canvas_.DrawBitmap(bg1, bg2)
+
+5. DrawObjectPositionOutlines(room)
+   └─> Colored rectangles by layer (Red/Green/Blue)
+   └─> Object ID labels
+```
+
+### Key Insight: Object Rendering
+
+Objects are drawn as **indexed pixel data** into buffers, then `SetPalette()` colorizes BOTH background tiles AND objects simultaneously. This is why palette application must happen AFTER object drawing.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Build
+```bash
+cd /Users/scawful/Code/yaze
+cmake --preset mac-ai -B build_ai
+cmake --build build_ai --target yaze -j12
+```
+
+### Run
+```bash
+# Open dungeon editor
+./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon
+
+# Open specific room
+./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon --cards="Room 0x00"
+```
+
+### Expected Visuals
+- ✅ **Floor tiles**: Proper dungeon graphics with correct colors
+- ✅ **Floor values**: Show 4, 8, etc. (not 0!)
+- ✅ **Object outlines**: Colored rectangles indicating object positions
+  - 🟥 Red = Layer 0 (main floor/walls)
+  - 🟩 Green = Layer 1 (upper decorations/chests)
+  - 🟦 Blue = Layer 2 (stairs/transitions)
+- ✅ **Object IDs**: Labels showing "0x10", "0x20", etc.
+
+---
+
+## Object Visualization
+
+### DrawObjectPositionOutlines()
+
+Shows where objects are placed with colored rectangles:
+
+```cpp
+// Color coding by layer
+Layer 0 → Red (most common - walls, floors)
+Layer 1 → Green (decorations, chests)
+Layer 2 → Blue (stairs, exits)
+
+// Size calculation
+width = (obj.size() & 0x0F + 1) * 8 pixels
+height = ((obj.size() >> 4) & 0x0F + 1) * 8 pixels
+
+// Labels
+Each rectangle shows object ID (0x10, 0x20, etc.)
+```
+
+This helps verify object positions even if graphics don't render yet.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Debug Commands
+```bash
+# Check floor values (should NOT be 0)
+./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon 2>&1 | grep "floor1="
+
+# Check object loading
+./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon 2>&1 | grep "Drawing.*objects"
+
+# Check object drawing details
+./build_ai/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze --rom_file=zelda3.sfc --editor=Dungeon 2>&1 | grep "Writing Tile16"
+```
+
+### Expected Debug Output
+```
+[DungeonEditorV2] Loaded room 0 graphics from ROM
+[DungeonEditorV2] Loaded room 0 objects from ROM
+[RenderRoomGraphics] Room 0: floor1=4, floor2=8, blocks_size=16  ← NOT 0!
+[DungeonEditorV2] Rendered room 0 to bitmaps
+[ObjectDrawer] Drawing 15 objects
+[ObjectDrawer] Drew 15 objects, skipped 0
+```
+
+### Visual Checklist
+- [ ] Floor tiles render with correct dungeon graphics
+- [ ] Floor values show non-zero numbers
+- [ ] Object position outlines visible (colored rectangles)
+- [ ] Can edit floor1/floor2 values
+- [ ] Changes update canvas immediately
+- [ ] Multiple rooms can be opened and docked
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Floor tiles still blank/wrong?
+**Check**: Debug output should show `floor1=4, floor2=8` (NOT 0)  
+**If 0**: Loading order issue - verify LoadObjects() runs before RenderRoomGraphics()  
+**File**: `dungeon_editor_v2.cc:442-460`
+
+### Objects not visible?
+**Check**: Object position outlines should show colored rectangles  
+**If no outlines**: Object loading failed - check LoadObjects()  
+**If outlines but no graphics**: ObjectDrawer or tile loading issue  
+**Debug**: Check ObjectDrawer logs for "has X tiles"
+
+### Floor editing doesn't work?
+**Check**: Using floor accessors: `floor1()`, `set_floor1()`  
+**Not**: Direct members `room.floor1` (removed)  
+**File**: `dungeon_canvas_viewer.cc:90-106`
+
+### Performance degradation with multiple rooms?
+**Cause**: Each room = ~2MB (2x 512x512 bitmaps)  
+**Solution**: Implement texture pooling (future work)  
+**Workaround**: Close unused room windows
+
+---
+
+## Future Work
+
+### High Priority
+1. **Verify wall graphics render** - ObjectDrawer pipeline may need debugging
+2. **Implement room layout rendering** - Show structural walls/floors/pits
+3. **Remove LoadGraphicsSheetsIntoArena()** - Placeholder code no longer needed
+4. **Update room graphics card** - Show per-room graphics instead of Arena sheets
+
+### Medium Priority
+5. **Texture atlas infrastructure** - Lay groundwork for future optimization
+6. **Move backend logic to DungeonEditorSystem** - Cleaner UI/backend separation
+7. **Performance optimization** - Texture pooling or lazy loading
+
+### Low Priority
+8. **Extract ROM addresses** - Move constants to dungeon_rom_addresses.h
+9. **Remove unused variables** - palette_, background_tileset_, sprite_tileset_
+10. **Consolidate duplicates** - blockset/spriteset cleanup
+
+---
+
+## Code Reference
+
+### Loading Order (CRITICAL)
+```cpp
+// dungeon_editor_v2.cc:442-460
+if (room.blocks().empty()) {
+  room.LoadRoomGraphics(room.blockset);  // 1. Load blocks
+}
+if (room.GetTileObjects().empty()) {
+  room.LoadObjects();  // 2. Load objects (sets floor graphics!)
+}
+if (needs_render || !bg1_bitmap.is_active()) {
+  room.RenderRoomGraphics();  // 3. Render with correct data
+}
+```
+
+### Floor Accessors
+```cpp
+// room.h:341-350
+uint8_t floor1() const { return floor1_graphics_; }
+uint8_t floor2() const { return floor2_graphics_; }
+void set_floor1(uint8_t value) { 
+  floor1_graphics_ = value;
+  // Triggers re-render in UI code
+}
+void set_floor2(uint8_t value) { 
+  floor2_graphics_ = value;
+}
+```
+
+### Object Visualization
+```cpp
+// dungeon_canvas_viewer.cc:410-459
+void DungeonCanvasViewer::DrawObjectPositionOutlines(const zelda3::Room& room) {
+  for (const auto& obj : room.GetTileObjects()) {
+    // Convert to canvas coordinates
+    auto [canvas_x, canvas_y] = RoomToCanvasCoordinates(obj.x(), obj.y());
+    
+    // Calculate dimensions from size field
+    int width = (obj.size() & 0x0F + 1) * 8;
+    int height = ((obj.size() >> 4) & 0x0F + 1) * 8;
+    
+    // Color by layer
+    ImVec4 color = (layer == 0) ? Red : (layer == 1) ? Green : Blue;
+    
+    // Draw outline and ID label
+    canvas_.DrawRect(canvas_x, canvas_y, width, height, color);
+    canvas_.DrawText(absl::StrFormat("0x%02X", obj.id_), canvas_x + 2, canvas_y + 2);
+  }
+}
+```
+

+
+---
+
+## User Decisions
+
+Based on OPEN_QUESTIONS.md answers:
+
+1. **DungeonEditorSystem** = Backend logic (keep, move more logic to it)
+2. **ObjectRenderer** = Remove (obsolete, use ObjectDrawer)
+3. **LoadGraphicsSheetsIntoArena()** = Remove (per-room graphics instead)
+4. **Test segfault** = Pre-existing (ignore for now)
+5. **Performance** = Texture atlas infrastructure (future-proof)
+6. **Priority** = Make walls/layouts visible with rect outlines
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Immediate
+1. ⬜ Remove `LoadGraphicsSheetsIntoArena()` method
+2. ⬜ Implement room layout rendering
+3. ⬜ Create texture atlas stub
+4. ⬜ Verify wall object graphics render
+
+### Short-term
+5. ⬜ Search for remaining ObjectRenderer references
+6. ⬜ Update room graphics card for per-room display
+7. ⬜ Move sprite/item/entrance logic to DungeonEditorSystem
+
+### Future
+8. ⬜ Implement texture atlas fully
+9. ⬜ Extract ROM addresses/enums to separate files
+10. ⬜ Remove unused variables (palette_, background_tileset_, sprite_tileset_)
