The corner slot held a static portrait of the creature (logo.h) while the mini-animation engine sat one screen away, used only by the idle "Zzz" panel. Same character, same 80x80 slot — now it moves, and it moves with the usage rate, so the badge reads as a live indicator rather than decoration. Groundwork: the mini engine was single-instance (module-level mini_* state), so the idle panel already owned it. Moved that state into `struct splash_mini` and handed callers a handle, letting the corner badge and the idle creature run side by side with independent frame clocks. Passing anim_name == NULL makes an instance follow usage_rate_group(), re-picking on the same cadence as the full-screen splash. Each consumer carries its own per-group slot cursor so the badge and the splash don't shuffle each other's rotation along. The badge only stands in for the portrait while data is fresh (view_state 2); the pairing and idle screens keep the static image, since a dancing creature there would claim a liveness the numbers don't have. Verified on a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-2.16: frames advance (two framebuffer captures differ across the 80x80 slot), layout untouched, and all five envs build.

Adds tools/make_custom_anims.js and a tools/custom_anims/ source directory alongside the scraped set, plus three animations built from it: "fm listening" (rate group 1) and "idle hearts" / "idle blossom" (group 0). Nothing here draws a character. Each output takes a claudepix animation as its base and overlays props that track the creature frame by frame — the head is located per frame, so the headphones ride the bounce in dance_bounce rather than being pinned to fixed coordinates. Every pixel of him is still claudepix's. The new directory exists because the scraper owns claudepix_data/ outright and may wipe it; a hand-composed file living there would vanish on the next re-scrape. convert_to_c.js now takes a comma-separated --in list, defaulting to both directories, and the generator clears stale outputs so a removed animation doesn't linger as an orphan. GROUP_MAX goes 4 -> 6 so the idle group can hold six. Idle is where the device sits most of the day, and a creature with nothing to do is the one you actually end up looking at. Two art constraints found by rendering rather than by reasoning: props have to be light, since the panel background is black and a dark prop is an invisible one; and a 3x3 heart is illegible — its two top humps land on separate pixels and read as antennae — so the heart is 5x3 and beats by brightness instead of by resizing. Closed-eye hearts/blossom variants were also built and dropped: expression_sleep already says "asleep", and a second sleeping animation spent catalog space without adding a state readable at a glance. Verified on a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-2.16: the heart renders as exactly 160 px of its lit color in the 80x80 corner badge — its 10 cells at 4x4 px each — and all five envs build. "fm listening" is in the catalog and resolves into group 1, but has not yet been caught on screen: doing so needs a sustained 0.10-0.20 %/min burn, which this session never held long enough.

Closing this in favour of #153. #153 brings its own corner mascot, so this one is superseded on the feature itself. It also removes No point leaving it in your queue. Thanks for taking a look at it while it was open. (#151 is unaffected by any of this — it is a daemon-payload fix with no animation code in it.) |
