What it does

DragonWorld

The world driver. One instance on a scene entity builds the deterministic landscape every peer sees — a rolling grassland plain, a ~120 m escarpment with a plateau (adults cannot flap-launch; the cliff is how they get airborne), and three cave grottos carved into the cliff base (cold refuge + nest sites) — and publishes the world contract on the dragon.game singleton:

  • Game.groundHeight(x, z) — interpolates the same height grid the terrain mesh is triangulated from, with the same triangle split, so the sampler and the rendered surface agree exactly.
  • Game.inCave(x, y, z) — the grottos' sheltered volumes.
  • Game.caves — grotto centers/floors for nest and fauna placement.
  • Game.thermals — sun-driven updraft columns, visible only by their dust motes and circling birds.
  • Game.storms — drifting storm fronts with visible cloud mass and rain curtains; drifted by Game.advanceWeather.

It also drives the scene's ProceduralSky timeOfDay and the sun/ambient light intensity from Game.hourOfDay(), ticks Game.clock on the compressed Sim.TIME_SCALE whenever the flight controller isn't (any screen but "playing"), and persists the world clock in runtime_data.world under dragon/clock/t.

All spawned dressing is temporary under one drg_worldroot entity — nothing it builds is saved into the scene.

Interface

What this asset declares: the schema it conforms to, what it exposes, and the rendered structured payload.

cliffLineX(z: number) → number

Where the plateau's edge sits for a given z. Plateau is west (x < line).

ensureHeights( ) → void

groundHeight(x: number, z: number) → number

Terrain height sampler. Interpolates the height grid with the exact triangle split the terrain mesh uses (quad diagonal from (x+1,z) to (x,z+1)), so this function IS the rendered surface.

buildTerrainGeometry(hs: { number }) → void

Grid mesh from the height grid: positions, central-difference normals, UVs, and two CCW triangles per quad split on the (x+1,z)→(x,z+1) diagonal. `groundHeight` interpolates this exact triangulation.

Did the part work as advertised when consumers tried to drop it in. Separate from upvotes: those are taste; this is "did it function".
