mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 0f2fe6de62 Work out and build the RetroArch store
RETROARCH_STORE.md is the design, written from measurements rather than
documentation: the format samples, thumbnail layout and core names come from
a real RetroArch install on this machine, the core availability from the
libretro buildbot index, and the CRC32s from the catalog itself.

Three findings shaped it. The playlist folder is not necessarily inside the
RetroArch directory — on the machine measured, playlist_directory is under
~/Documents while cores and thumbnails are under ~/Library — so reading
retroarch.cfg is a requirement, not a nicety. Thumbnails must be PNG, and
one of our covers is a GIF, which no store had cared about before. And a
.lpl entry has nowhere to put a description, so desc and author do not
survive the trip.

Built the same day, in three repositories: engines/warpstore (the shared
core, extracted immediately rather than in the second phase the plan
proposed), tools/warp-engine-retroarch-store and tools/ttg-retroarch-store.
The closing section of the design records what the implementation changed
about it.

MORE_STORES.md item 4 is closed, its "a minta" section now points at the
extracted core, and REPO_REFACT.md carries the three new repos —
check-repos.sh is green at 49.

Wiki Connections

Folders (repos) in this workspace that already have a wiki page in the wiki-pages mirror. The wiki runs on Grav CMS; the content schema is infra/wiki-pages/pages/<path>/default.md. Wiki base URL: https://wiki.teletypegames.org/ (without the /en/ prefix, based on the pages' internal links).

The workspace folder layout mirrors the Gitea orgs one-to-one since 2026-08-16: bbs/, build/, demos/, engines/, games/, infra/, services/, tools/ — so a repo's path is <org>/<name>, and the first two columns of the table agree by construction. Two things sit outside that: devarea itself, which has to stay at the workspace root because clone-repos.sh clones into its parent, and media/, which holds reference images rather than repos. The org taxonomy is described in REPO_REFACT.md next to this file.

This file lives in the devarea repo (tools/devarea). The repo's scripts/ folder holds the workspace management scripts (clone-repos.sh — clones the whole workspace in this structure based on repos.list; check-repos.sh — compares the list against the Gitea server; install-tea.sh — tea CLI installation), tied together by the Makefile in the root (make help). Paths in the table are relative to the workspace root (the parent directory of devarea).

Notes

  • Structure change: instead of the former Wiki.js mirror (wiki-pages/wiki/<path>.md), the wiki now runs on Grav CMS with the infra/wiki-pages/pages/<path>/default.md schema. Each page's wiki path is also stored in the wikipath frontmatter field.
  • pncdsl → inkwell rename: the former pncdsl repo lives on as inkwell (tools_libs/inkwell), and pncdsl-demo as inkwell-demo (demos/inkwell-demo). The wiki page moved too: development/ebitengine/pncdsldevelopment/ebitengine/inkwell (both repos are documented by the same page: framework intro + companion demo).
  • For games/realworld, the projects/realworld page (tree) is the developer/project doc (login-protected, subpages: catalog, entities, story); there is also a NU lore page: projects/neumatronic-universe/arcs/norman-arc/games/02-realworld.
  • The former separate pipeline.md + makefile.md pages of the *-tools repos were merged into the engine-wide pages (development/ebitengine, development/love, development/tic80): a single page holds the engine intro, the Makefile docs and the CI pipeline.
  • The tic80pro-dockerfile repo no longer has a standalone builder-image page; the TIC-80 Pro builder image (git.teletypegames.org/build/tic80pro) is documented in the pipeline/export section of the TIC-80 page.
  • For the impostor repo, the developer doc is the projects/impostor page (tree) (fact sheet: git repo, Redmine, Woodpecker + subordinate howto/design pages); there is also a Neumatronic Universe lore page: projects/neumatronic-universe/arcs/norman-arc/games/01-definitely-not-an-impostor.
  • For impostor-bbs, the wiki page is still the NU lore page (Game 1.5), not classic repo documentation.
  • For the sermo-bbs repo (rubbs-based SERMO-DOS telnet simulator), the related page is the Sermo OS Showcase design/lore doc (its sibling page is scratchpad/sermo-os2), not classic repo documentation.
  • The media/nokiapunk folder contains real reference photos for the Nokia-Punk page (Apple II, ThinkPad, Nokia Communicator, etc.); the page references these devices.
  • The teletypegames repo is a monorepo (apps/api: Rails 8 Catalog API + ActiveAdmin, apps/frontend: Vue 3 SPA), described by the infrastructure/public-site page.
  • The former page of the blog-writer repo (others/blog-writer) is gone — it currently has no wiki page.
  • The project pages of the c64-demo, rabbitc64, rabbitroller and blessingofra repos were created on 2026-07-28 (fact sheet + overview + controls + build, in the format of the impostor/realworld pages). The project pages are login-protected and also appear in the sidebar's Projects section (config/sitenav.yaml).
  • The c64-tools repo is documented by the development/c64 page (ACME + VICE toolchain, shared Makefile, CI pipeline) — following the engine pages' pattern; the page also links to the three C64 projects.
  • rabbitc64 is the C64 port of rabbitroller; both have their own project pages with cross-references.
  • The wiki-pages repo (the wiki itself: Grav + fetcher + BBS front-end) documents itself on the infrastructure/wiki-site page.
  • The tools/warp_engine repo (in repos.list, 2026-08-04) is a read-only split mirror: development happens in the teletypegames monorepo (libs/ruby/warp_engine), CI republishes the mirror on every change. The infrastructure/warp-engine page documents the engine as a standalone product (mountable Rails engine: catalog, CI-callable updater, JSON API, optional ActiveAdmin); the monorepo itself remains documented by infrastructure/public-site.
  • The Batocera store (2026-08-10) was split in two on 2026-08-15: tools/warp-engine-batocera-store is the reusable engine (the former tools/batocera-store repo, renamed), and tools/ttg-batocera-store is our store on top of it — a config.json plus a wrapper installer. Each has its own page, and the old others/batocera-store page became others/ttg-batocera-store (id 233 kept); the engine page is new (id 235). Both appear in the sidebar's Others section (config/sitenav.yaml). The engine speaks the WarpEngine API, so infrastructure/warp-engine is the catalog-side counterpart of both.
  • The bevy-tools / bevy-demo and phaser-tools / phaser-demo repos (2026-07-31) are documented by the engine-wide development/bevy and development/phaser pages — the demos have no separate project pages, following the inkwell/inkwell-demo pattern. Both pages appear in the sidebar's Development section (config/sitenav.yaml).
  • demos/ebitengine-demo is a borderline case: the development/bevy and development/phaser pages reference it ("the same demo"), and it is also the example project of the development/ebitengine page (ebitenginedemo), but that page has no reference-project section presenting the demo like the bevy/phaser pages do.
  • The games/nyuller repo was cloned from Gitea (games/nyuller) on 2026-08-01; it has no wiki page.
  • Folders without a wiki page (not in the table): devarea; bbs/ — none; demos/escoria-demo-game-main, demos/love-demo, demos/new-game-wireframe; engines/gorpg; games/bombexpert, games/c64-demo-cpp, games/mranderson, games/nyuller, games/pong, games/trickster-tiles; media/impostor-info; services/blog-writer, services/redmine-tree, services/social-updater; tools/tic80-draw-image, tools/ttg-marketplace; and teletype-orbit, a local repo that has no remote yet.
