69 played event 2 to its scene change, and there it stopped: the runtime had no field. An agent has now built the way out. docs/engine/field-walk.md has the detail.

What happens now

• Out of Mac Anu. Event 2's area 14 and scene reach the session. It then:

  • fades Mac Anu out;
  • builds story area 14's WORLD_MAN, as the area instruction does on the town's server;
  • runs ccSetupGameCtrl for area 1.

  Kite arrives in Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field: a grass field under a pink sky, by the great horn.

• The gate's warp. The Chaos Gate's warp (WORLD_MAN::SetGenerateCode from the entered words) goes the same way.

• Getting back. Gate Out and the field menus' ChangeArea lead back to town. Log Out and the title leave a field as they leave the town.

• The field. Kite walks and runs on its height map, with the objects' collision coming and going with their draw. The field wraps at its edges. The field camera keeps above the ground (avoidObstacle, ported in 61).

• The dungeon. The entrance is WORLD_MAN::Enter, which is ChangeArea(2, 0). The dungeon is built (story area 14's is the hand-made D0001); doors go room to room, and the up stairs lead back to the field beside the entrance. GoField (86) leaves it too.

• Test starts. --mode field:14 and --mode dungeon:14 start there directly.

Checked

• The field against the game. tools/test_field_rt.py lays story area 14's generated field out in eemu's memory as WORLD::Generate leaves it, then compares:
  • SetCharPosition for every field type;
  • ccLandHitCheck at 1,500 points;
  • the object passes (WORLD::DrawObject, the entrance and key) at 300 places.
  • 2,620 frames of camera, player and objects: walking, the dungeon entrance, random pads, and running off all four edges. None differ.
• The gate's words. tools/test_area_rs.py checks SetGenerateCode for every story area's words and 300 random triples.
• The dungeon. tools/test_dungeon_rt.py checks the dungeon's walk.
• Re-run in a clean worktree. These pass, with the world, event, field, dungeon, field UI and top page suites. So do the workspace's tests, clippy, fmt and the docs check.
• In the runtime. Event 2's presses, played for 2,420 frames, end in area 1, field 14. The shot shows Kite by the horn with the HUD.
