# game.house.HouseBuilder The twelve areas of **The House That Knows You**, as data and one builder. `HouseBuilder.build()` is called from `game.house.sceneContent`, which the scene build calls, so what it makes is baked into `scenes/house.scene/scene.json` and is there the moment the world opens. ## The plan is data - **`ROOMS`** — each area's interior rectangle: `x0..x1`, `z0..z1`, `y0..y1`. The entrance hall is `HALL`, and is built by the scene skeleton, not here. - **`DOORS`** — a doorway is declared by `(a, side, at, other)`: room `a` cuts an opening on the wall named by `side`, centred at `at` measured along it. It is declared by room-and-side rather than by a coordinate because two rooms never share a wall: interiors are spaced so neighbouring walls **abut** and never coincide, and each room cuts its own. Two coplanar walls look perfect in a still frame and shimmer the moment the camera moves. - **`STAIRS`** — the three places the house changes level, each with the room it starts in, the room it arrives in, and the item that locks it. The hole a stair needs is derived from the same entry, so a stair and its hole cannot disagree. - **`PROPS`** — what each room is furnished with; `hide = true` marks a place the player can get inside. - **`UNLIT_ROOMS`** — the basement, secret room, attic and storage room carry no light on purpose. They are torch territory. ## What it exposes - `build()` — build it all. Called from the scene build. - `area(id)` — the centre of an area, for any slice that needs to place something in a room. `roomOf(id)` gives the rectangle. - `doorInfo(id)` — a doorway's lock, for the systems slice. - `hidingPlaces()` — every `hide_<room>_<n>` entity, by name. ## What it names, so other slices can find it `room_<area>` is each room's root; `light_<area>` its bulb; `door_<id>` a door leaf; `door_stair_<id>` a locked stair door; `hide_<area>_<n>` a hiding place; `prop_<area>_<n>` furniture; `spawn_resident_<area>` and `patrol_<area>` the two anchors the monsters slice uses. The furniture is **blocked out**: named, in the right place, at the right size, in a plain material, so the game runs and the polish pass can put the real prop exactly there.
