feat: CRT scanlines, Neo message lines, custom characters, and options UI polish - #44
Merged
Conversation
- add characters field to options model and configure sheet - make glyph pool instance-level in renderer - deduplicate custom characters and fall back to full default set when empty - update README with new option
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- add CHANGELOG.md with history from all previous releases - use TriPSs/conventional-changelog-action in the prepare job to generate a new section from commits since the last tag - include CHANGELOG.md in the release branch commit Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- extract the current version's section from CHANGELOG.md - pass it to gh release create via --notes-file Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- supportedScalars returns union of default pool and active pool so custom glyphs (e.g. ATGC) are included in the glyph cache - resolveGlyphPool filters out whitespace, control, and non-grapheme scalars so invalid input fails gracefully instead of blank columns - sanitized() trims and deduplicates characters so storage, Equatable comparison, and rendering all use a canonical form - widen the Characters text field to ~24 M-widths so longer custom sets remain fully visible in the options sheet Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- add diacritic filter to sanitized() so persisted value matches rendered glyphs - cache supportedScalars before loop in makeNativeGlyphCaches to avoid repeated recomputation - preserve activeGlyphPool insertion order in supportedScalars instead of iterating a Set - align README Characters description with charactersDescription string Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
feat: add custom character set option
feat: add CHANGELOG and auto-update on release
- conventional-changelog-action defaults to v prefix - repo uses unprefixed tags (e.g. 0.0.9) - without tag-prefix: "" the action cannot find the previous tag and generates changelog from the wrong commit range Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
fix: set tag-prefix to empty string in changelog action
- add neoMessageLines field to MatrixScreenSaverOptions with persist/load/save - add Edit… button in options sheet opening a secondary lines editor sheet - editor uses NSTableView with drag-and-drop row reordering via grab handle - support add/remove/reset lines; 1–10 lines, max 256 chars each - pass custom lines through renderer config to NeoMessageScene.reset - keep four original lines as defaults Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- increase sync window to 10 s to tolerate slow-waking screens - sceneStartTime always targets the next 10-second boundary so no display fast-forwards past the start of the Neo scene - replace fraction-based blackout rounds with a fixed count of 10 so all screens finish the blackout at the same wall-clock time regardless of display width - keep cursor blinking after 'Call trans opt' finishes typing through the pause before 'Trace program: running' replaces it Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
## Changes - Add editable Neo message lines in the options sheet behind an `Edit…` button - Secondary editor sheet with `NSTableView`; drag handle (⠿) for reordering rows - Add / remove lines with +/− buttons; Reset to defaults - 1–10 lines, max 256 characters each; persisted via `ScreenSaverDefaults` - Increase sync window to 10 s so slow-waking screens join the same scene sequence - Fix Neo scene being skipped on late-activating screens: `sceneStartTime` now always targets the next 10-second boundary, eliminating fast-forward - Sync number scene blackout end across screens with different widths: fixed 10 blackout rounds regardless of column count - Keep cursor blinking on the `Call trans opt` line after typing completes, until the line is replaced
feat: add CRT scanlines effect with intensity slider - draw 1px dark stripes every 2px over the terminal area each frame - intensity controlled by a 0–100% slider in the options sheet (default 35%) - alpha maps directly to percentage: 100% = fully opaque - effect is skipped entirely when intensity is 0 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- add 'macOS Matrix Screen Saver' headline at top of sheet (left-aligned) - add 'About' link button that opens the GitHub repository Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- replace NSStackView+spacer with plain NSView container - pin title to leading, About button to trailing via explicit anchors - avoids constraint conflict with NSStackView edge insets Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

fix: generate CHANGELOG entry from git log in release workflow - remove conventional-changelog-action which computed its own version (feat: commits caused it to bump minor instead of using our patch bump) - replace with shell step that parses conventional commits since last tag - keeps existing ## [x.y.z] - date format so awk extraction in publish works - falls back to latest git tag if previous version tag is not found Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
feat: make scanlines vertical by default with direction option - change scanline orientation from horizontal to vertical (default) - add Vertical/Horizontal popup in options next to intensity slider - reduce default scanline intensity from 35% to 25% - persist direction preference via ScanLinesVertical key Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- replace width/height text fields with a single slider - 15 predefined size pairs from 4×8 to 18×34 (1.875 ratio) - default remains 11×21 - remove now-unused integer parsing and validation Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- add `skipSyncDelay` flag to `NativeMatrixRenderer.Configuration` - detect ScreenSaverEngine process; skip sync window everywhere else - preview host and System Settings thumbnail no longer wait up to 10 s - number scene now appears ~21 s into preview instead of ~30+ s Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
## Summary - Add `skipSyncDelay` flag to `NativeMatrixRenderer.Configuration` - Detect `ScreenSaverEngine` process; skip the 10-second sync window everywhere else (preview host, System Settings thumbnail) - Number scene now appears ~21 s into the preview instead of ~30+ s (was hidden for most users who close the preview within 26 s)
- replace with fresh 90s recording - resize to 460px wide, max 12fps, variable frame rate Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- add Neo message scene toggle - add Neo message speed factor - add Scan lines intensity - add Scan lines vertical - update Development section option list Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
