Implemented WavDumpBackend that renders audio to .wav file instead of
playing on audio device. Useful for debugging audio synthesis, tempo
scaling, and tracker output without needing real-time playback.
New Files:
- src/audio/wav_dump_backend.h: WAV dump backend interface
- src/audio/wav_dump_backend.cc: Implementation with WAV file writing
Features:
- Command line option: --dump_wav [filename]
- Default output: audio_dump.wav
- Format: 16-bit PCM, mono, 32kHz
- Duration: 60 seconds (configurable in code)
- Progress indicator during rendering
- Properly writes WAV header (RIFF format)
Integration (src/main.cc):
- Added --dump_wav command line parsing
- Optional filename parameter
- Sets WavDumpBackend before audio_init()
- Skips main loop in WAV dump mode (just render and exit)
- Zero size impact (all code under !STRIP_ALL)
Usage:
./demo64k --dump_wav # outputs audio_dump.wav
./demo64k --dump_wav my_audio.wav # custom filename
Technical Details:
- Uses AudioBackend interface (from Task #51)
- Calls synth_render() in loop to capture audio
- Converts float samples to int16_t for WAV format
- Updates WAV header with final sample count on shutdown
- Renders 60s worth of audio (1,920,000 samples @ 32kHz)
Test Results:
✓ All 16 tests passing (100%)
✓ Successfully renders 3.7 MB WAV file
✓ File verified as valid RIFF WAVE format
✓ Playback in audio players confirmed
Perfect for:
- Debugging tempo scaling behavior
- Verifying tracker pattern timing
- Analyzing audio output offline
- Creating reference audio for tests

Created debuggable drum beat track that tests variable tempo system
with clear acceleration and deceleration phases.
Music Track Changes (assets/music.track):
- Simplified to clear drum patterns (kick, snare, hi-hat, crash)
- Light kick syncopation for musicality
- Regular crash accents every 4 seconds
- Hi-hat stress on beats for clarity
- Phase 1 (0-10s): Steady beat at 1.0x tempo
- Phase 2 (10-16s): Acceleration test (1.0x → 2.0x, then reset to 1.0x)
- Phase 3 (16-20s): Denser patterns after reset (kick_dense, snare_dense)
- Phase 4 (20-26s): Slow-down test (1.0x → 0.5x, then reset to 1.0x)
- Phase 5 (26-30s): Return to normal tempo
- Phase 6 (30s+): Add bass line and E minor melody
Tempo Control (src/main.cc):
- Implemented phase-based tempo scaling logic
- Phase 1 (0-10s physical): tempo = 1.0 (steady)
- Phase 2 (10-15s physical): tempo = 1.0 → 2.0 (acceleration)
- Phase 3 (15-20s physical): tempo = 1.0 (reset trick)
- Phase 4 (20-25s physical): tempo = 1.0 → 0.5 (deceleration)
- Phase 5 (25s+ physical): tempo = 1.0 (reset trick)
- Added debug output showing tempo changes (!STRIP_ALL)
Test Updates (src/tests/test_tracker.cc):
- Updated voice count assertions to match new track (3 → 4 voices)
- New track triggers 4 patterns at t=0: crash, kick, snare, hi-hat
Results:
✓ All 16 tests passing (100%)
✓ Clear, debuggable drum patterns
✓ Tests both acceleration and deceleration reset tricks
✓ Musical: E minor bass and melody after 30s
✓ Debug output shows tempo scaling in action

Implemented unified music time that advances at configurable tempo_scale,
enabling dynamic tempo changes without pitch shifting or BPM dependencies.
Key Changes:
- Added music_time tracking in main.cc (advances by dt * tempo_scale)
- Decoupled tracker_update() from physical time (now uses music_time)
- Created comprehensive test suite (test_variable_tempo.cc) with 6 scenarios
- Verified 2x speed-up and 2x slow-down reset tricks work perfectly
- All tests pass (100% success rate)
Technical Details:
- Spectrograms remain unchanged (no pitch shift)
- Only trigger timing affected (when patterns fire)
- Delta time calculated per frame: dt = current_time - last_time
- Music time accumulates: music_time += dt * tempo_scale
- tempo_scale=1.0 → normal speed (default)
- tempo_scale=2.0 → 2x faster triggering
- tempo_scale=0.5 → 2x slower triggering
Test Coverage:
1. Basic tempo scaling (1.0x, 2.0x, 0.5x)
2. 2x speed-up reset trick (accelerate to 2.0x, reset to 1.0x)
3. 2x slow-down reset trick (decelerate to 0.5x, reset to 1.0x)
4. Pattern density swap at reset points
5. Continuous acceleration (0.5x to 2.0x over 10s)
6. Oscillating tempo (sine wave modulation)
Test Results:
- After 5s physical at 2.0x tempo: music_time=7.550s (expected ~7.5s) ✓
- Reset to 1.0x, advance 2s: music_time delta=2.000s (expected ~2.0s) ✓
- Slow-down reset: music_time delta=2.000s (expected ~2.0s) ✓
Enables future dynamic tempo control without modifying synthesis engine.

Critical Bug Fixes:
- Fixed pool exhaustion: Tracker slots never freed after use, music stopped
after 8 patterns. Implemented round-robin allocation with cleanup.
- Fixed note name parsing: Added automatic note-to-frequency conversion
in tracker_compiler. Bass and melody now play correctly.

causing silence gaps. Updated SCORE to trigger every 2 seconds.
Improvements:

determine optimal MAX_VOICES/MAX_SPECTROGRAMS values.
- Created comprehensive rock track: 11 patterns with drums, bass, power chords,
and lead melody over 25 seconds.
- Added 213 lines of asset system documentation with 8 prioritized tasks.
Known Issues for next session:
- Audio quality could be improved (some artifacts remain)
- Note synthesis uses default parameters, needs tuning
- Pattern overlaps might cause voice exhaustion under heavy load
Files Changed:
- src/audio/tracker.cc: Round-robin pool allocation, cleanup logic
- tools/tracker_compiler.cc: Note name parser, resource usage analysis
- src/audio/synth.h: Increased limits to 16 based on analysis
- assets/music.track: 230-line rock arrangement
- doc/ASSET_SYSTEM.md: Comprehensive documentation + 8 tasks
- TODO.md: Updated with recent completions and known issues
handoff(Gemini): Music system now functional but needs quality improvements.
Audio artifacts and synthesis tuning remain. See TODO.md for details.

Implemented comprehensive unit tests for ShaderComposer and a validation test for production WGSL shader assets. This ensures the shader asset pipeline is robust and that all shaders contain required entry points and snippets. Also improved InitShaderComposer to be more robust during testing.
|
|
Completed the first part of Task #25. Created static libraries for each subsystem (audio, gpu, 3d, util, procedural) and refactored all executables to link against them. This improves modularity and simplifies the build process. Also fixed linker errors related to glfw, wgpu, and miniaudio.

|
|
Fixes crashes in demo64k and test_3d_render caused by uninitialized ShaderComposer. Moves InitShaderComposer() call before effect initialization in gpu.cc and adds explicit call in test_3d_render.cc. Also fixes include paths for generated assets.h in multiple files.
