Fixes bug where all sequences appeared to run until demo end time instead
of their actual end times in Gantt chart visualizations.
Issue:
- Both ASCII and HTML Gantt generators initialized seq_end to max_time
- This caused all sequences to display full demo duration
- Example: SEQ@0s showed (0-36s) instead of actual (0-2s)
Fix:
- Initialize seq_end to seq_start instead of max_time
- Calculate actual end from effects or explicit [end_time]
- Sequences now show correct duration in visualizations
Before:
SEQ@0s [pri=0] (0-36s) # Wrong - shows full demo duration
SEQ@2s [pri=0] (2-36s) # Wrong
After:
SEQ@0s [pri=0] (0-2s) # Correct - shows actual sequence duration
SEQ@2s [pri=0] (2-5s) # Correct
This makes Gantt charts much more accurate for understanding actual
sequence overlap and timing relationships.

Simplifies effect priority management by using relative modifiers instead
of explicit numbers, making timeline reordering much more practical.
## New Priority System
Effects now use priority modifiers after EFFECT keyword:
- `+` increment priority by 1 (or start at 0 if first)
- `=` keep same priority as previous effect
- `-` decrement priority (or start at -1 if first, for background)
Old syntax:
```
EFFECT FlashEffect 0.0 0.5 0
EFFECT FadeEffect 0.1 0.3 1
EFFECT BgCube 0.2 3 -1
```
New syntax:
```
EFFECT - BgCube 0.2 3 # Priority -1 (background)
EFFECT + FlashEffect 0.0 0.5 # Priority 0
EFFECT + FadeEffect 0.1 0.3 # Priority 1
```
## Benefits
✓ Reordering effects no longer requires renumbering all priorities
✓ Priority relationships are explicit and relative
✓ File order matches render order (easier to understand)
✓ Same-priority effects clearly marked with `=`
✓ Background layers (-1) clearly marked with `-`
✓ Reduces errors when reorganizing timelines
## Implementation
- Updated seq_compiler to parse +/=/- modifiers
- Tracks current priority per sequence
- First effect sets base priority (0 or -1)
- Subsequent effects modify relative to previous
- Generated C++ code unchanged (still uses integer priorities)
## Changes to demo.seq
- All effects updated to use new syntax
- Effects reordered by priority within sequences
- Priority gaps removed (were likely unintentional)
- Comments updated to reflect new system
## Documentation
- Updated SEQUENCE.md with new syntax
- Added examples showing +, =, - usage
- Explained priority calculation rules
This makes timeline authoring significantly more maintainable, especially
when experimenting with different effect orderings during development.

Enhances seq_compiler with flexible output modes and beautiful HTML visualization.
## New Features
### 1. Optional C++ Output (Validation Mode)
- Output .cc file is now optional
- Running without output performs validation only
- Useful for checking .seq syntax before committing
- Example: `./seq_compiler assets/demo.seq`
### 2. HTML/SVG Gantt Chart
- New --gantt-html=<file.html> option
- Generates interactive HTML page with SVG timeline
- Much more readable than ASCII version
- Features:
* Color-coded sequences (blue) and effects (teal)
* Invalid time ranges highlighted in red
* Hover tooltips with full effect details
* Time axis with 5-second markers
* Dark theme matching IDE aesthetics
* Vertical time markers for easy reading
* Legend explaining visual elements
### 3. Flexible Command Line
All output modes can be combined:
```bash
# Validation only
./seq_compiler demo.seq
# Code + ASCII Gantt
./seq_compiler demo.seq timeline.cc --gantt=chart.txt
# Code + HTML Gantt
./seq_compiler demo.seq timeline.cc --gantt-html=chart.html
# All outputs
./seq_compiler demo.seq timeline.cc --gantt=t.txt --gantt-html=t.html
```
## HTML Gantt Advantages Over ASCII
✓ Precise pixel-perfect positioning
✓ Scalable vector graphics (zoom without quality loss)
✓ Color coding for priorities and validity
✓ Interactive hover tooltips
✓ Professional dark theme
✓ Much easier to read complex timelines
✓ Can be shared via browser or screenshots
## Implementation Details
- Added ~190 lines for HTML/SVG generation
- Dark theme (#1e1e1e background) matches IDE
- SVG dynamically sized based on sequence count
- Invalid time ranges rendered in red with warning symbol
- Time scale automatically calculated from demo duration
- Hover effects provide detailed information
## Use Cases
- **Validation**: Quick syntax check without code generation
- **ASCII Gantt**: Terminal-friendly, git-friendly text visualization
- **HTML Gantt**: Beautiful presentation for design discussions
- **Combined**: Full toolchain for timeline development
The HTML output answers your question about SVG generation - it turned out
to be straightforward (~190 lines) and provides significantly better
visualization than ASCII art!
## Files Changed
- tools/seq_compiler.cc: Added validation mode and HTML generation
- assets/demo.seq: Updated documentation with new usage examples
- .gitignore: Exclude generated timeline files
Example HTML output: 17KB file with full interactive timeline visualization.

This milestone implements several key enhancements to the sequencing system
and developer documentation:
## Optional Sequence End Times (New Feature)
- Added support for explicit sequence termination via [time] syntax
- Example: SEQUENCE 0 0 [30.0] forcefully ends all effects at 30 seconds
- Updated seq_compiler.cc to parse optional [time] parameter with brackets
- Added end_time_ field to Sequence class (default -1.0 = no explicit end)
- Modified update_active_list() to check sequence end time and deactivate
all effects when reached
- Fully backward compatible - existing sequences work unchanged
## Comprehensive Effect Documentation (demo.seq)
- Documented all effect constructor parameters (standard: device, queue, format)
- Added runtime parameter documentation (time, beat, intensity, aspect_ratio)
- Created detailed effect catalog with specific behaviors:
* Scene effects: HeptagonEffect, ParticlesEffect, Hybrid3DEffect, FlashCubeEffect
* Post-process effects: GaussianBlurEffect, SolarizeEffect, ChromaAberrationEffect,
ThemeModulationEffect, FadeEffect, FlashEffect
- Added examples section showing common usage patterns
- Documented exact parameter behaviors (e.g., blur pulsates 0.5x-2.5x,
flash triggers at intensity > 0.7, theme cycles every 8 seconds)
## Code Quality & Verification
- Audited all hardcoded 1280x720 dimensions throughout codebase
- Verified all shaders use uniforms.resolution and uniforms.aspect_ratio
- Confirmed Effect::resize() properly updates width_/height_ members
- No issues found - dimension handling is fully dynamic and robust
## Files Changed
- tools/seq_compiler.cc: Parse [end_time], generate set_end_time() calls
- src/gpu/effect.h: Added end_time_, set_end_time(), get_end_time()
- src/gpu/effect.cc: Check sequence end time in update_active_list()
- assets/demo.seq: Comprehensive syntax and effect documentation
- Generated files updated (timeline.cc, assets_data.cc, music_data.cc)
This work establishes a more flexible sequencing system and provides
developers with clear documentation for authoring demo timelines.
handoff(Claude): Optional sequence end times implemented, effect documentation
complete, dimension handling verified. Ready for next phase of development.

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

Replaces the global array with which wraps a local static array. This ensures the asset table is initialized on first use, preventing crashes when other globals (like shader strings) try to access assets during dynamic initialization.
|
|
Updates asset_packer to align static asset arrays to 16 bytes and append a null-terminator. This allows assets to be safely reinterpreted as typed pointers (e.g., float*, const char*) without copying. Updates AssetManager documentation to reflect these guarantees.

This feature allows developers to jump to a specific time in the demo sequence (e.g., './demo64k --seek 10.5'). It simulates the game logic, audio state (rendering silent buffers), and visual physics (compute shaders) from t=0 up to the target time before starting real-time playback. Audio initialization is refactored to separate device init and start.
