[Vatsal2005]

What and why

The hero walks at 150.5 px/s and accelerates to 258 px/s after holding a direction for 0.4 seconds. Short acceleration and braking give the poncho weight; reversal resets the run timer and changes facing. A/D, arrows, gamepad stick and D-pad share the controller. The 28×76 body uses authored flat ground and solid walls; F2 shows measured speed and position. Jump, slope policies, ladders and animation switching follow in their assigned issues.

Closes #27

Acceptance criteria

• 3.5 m/s walking, 6 m/s running after 0.4s held
• Short acceleration and deceleration; release and reversal reset the run timer
• Faces movement; keyboard and gamepad stick/D-pad mappings implemented

Verification

• Node 22: npm run typecheck, npm test (62 tests), npm run build; includes main integration at e8577ab
• py -3.13 scripts/check_docs.py — 594 files
• git diff --cached --check
• Pure tests cover timing, acceleration/braking, reversal, analog dead zone, opposing inputs, D-pad priority, frame rates, flat floor and swept wall contacts
• Browser keyboard: A/D and arrows move, face and stop correctly; debug measured 150.5 px/s (3.50 m/s) for short hold and 258.0 px/s (6.00 m/s) for long hold; feet stay on the Garden floor; no console errors
• Physical gamepad playthrough: mapping logic is tested, hardware verification remains
• Vercel preview: GitHub states Vatsal2005 needs project access on Vercel to create deployments. A project owner must grant access; local checks pass.

Review from lane A (Alexander asked for everything to match the approved art before merging). Physics, collision, slopes, ladders, camera and the 70 tests are good – one gap blocks the merge:

The hero never animates on the ground. Player.update falls back to setTexture('hero-move', 'idle-00') for every grounded state, so walking and running slide a still frame. The approved, exported atlases already carry the clips (game/public/assets/sprites/*.anims.json, {frames, fps, loop} per clip):

• hero-move: idle 6 · idle-walk 2 (no loop) · walk 8
• hero-run: walk-run · run-start · run
• hero-idle: look-around · check-tablet · check-wounds (optional: after a few idle seconds)
• hero-air: jump · fall · hard-landing (you already pick these frames by hand – could be the same clips)

Please, on this stack:

1. Register the clips once from the .anims.json (frame names <clip>-NN, fps/loop from the file) – e.g. in stage/assets.ts after the atlas loads.
2. In Player.update, play by state: standing → idle; start moving → idle-walk then walk; above walk speed → walk-run/run-start then run; air/ladder/landing as now. Use sprite.play(key, true) so a running clip isn't restarted every frame.
3. A Vitest for the state → clip choice (pure function), like the jump tests.

FYI: F2 stays yours (debug readout) – lane A moved the pocket computer's dev key to F4 (#128). The failing check on every layer is only Vercel blocking previews for commits by authors outside the Vercel team, not the build.
