Goals and learning outcomes

Prerequisites

Prerequisite concepts: Time Distribution, Measuring Sections. Prepare the result files and observation records from Unit 26.

Key concepts and explanations

Reproducing Input

Reapplying the same command list makes feature regressions easier to find. Checking data state before comparing screens helps narrow down causes.

Lifetime Cleanup

Observers, events, and animation requests are resources outside the scene. Clean them up before reinitializing to prevent duplicate behavior.

Practice setup

First check the execution scope guidance on the example screen. The following describes preparation for extending the assignment in a separate project. Implement this yourself in an HTML and ES module project on a separate local HTTP development server. Record the browser version, viewport, and DPR.

The linked example is a starting point. It does not implement every task below. Complete work beyond its supported scope in a separate project.

Practice tasks

  1. Prepare day-27.js and index.html in the external practice project. Combine the grid, shape editing, and particle preview into one state model.
  2. Replay create→drag→undo→resize→JSON restore commands, and release the observer, events, and loop in dispose.
  3. Save the output with the input condition 1 time, then run again with 5 times. Expected: With correct cleanup, the command count per input does not increase. Compare this with the actual screen and logs, and record the actual results and reasons for differences in day-27-notes.md.

Predictions in this table are not measured results. Change one condition at a time and record why the actual result differs.

Completion criteria

Self-check

  1. How do user data and render resources differ?
  2. What does regression testing with screenshots alone miss?

This is a reduced editor for checking command replay, undo, and JSON state. It does not replace every tool in the full capstone.

Source code and records are not overwritten automatically. Resetting an existing example also preserves your notes.
