-- A Poke Ball as real geometry: the prop the LET'S GO capture mode throws.
--
-- The mod has never drawn a ball in 3D -- the one the engine tosses is a 2D
-- sprite inside the battle's move-animation layer. This is a ball that can
-- fly through the arena, hang in the air in front of the camera, hinge its
-- lid open, drink a Pokemon in, click shut, rock on the ground and burst
-- back open -- all of it depth-tested, sun-shadowed and hour-tinted like
-- everything else in the diorama, because it is a mesh in Voxel3D's own
-- format going through Voxel3D's own shader.
--
-- ------- how it is built
--
-- Two lat/long hemisphere shells that meet at the equator -- the WHITE base
-- and the coloured LID -- each carrying its half of the black band as a
-- slightly bulged latitude belt, so the two halves separate exactly where
-- the real ball separates. The button is a little cylinder standing out of
-- the base's front; the interior is sealed with two pale discs so an open
-- ball shows a shell with a floor rather than a view through to the far
-- wall's backface. Colour is a palette texture one texel per material and
-- one ROW per ball tier (POKE/GREAT/ULTRA/MASTER/SAFARI), exactly the
-- HordeGun/Pokedex scheme -- so GREAT is blue and ULTRA wears its yellow
-- band without a second mesh, just a different V coordinate.
--
-- Shade is baked per vertex from the surface normal with StadiumStage's
-- fitted constants, which is this mod's answer for anything curved: the
-- ball's sun side and belly read as a sphere under the same southeastern
-- sun the roofs are lit by.
--
-- ------- how it animates
--
-- The HordeGun way: a handful of scalar timers advanced by update(dt) and
-- consumed as matrix terms at draw time. No skeleton, no keyframes --
-- lid is a hinge matrix about the back of the equator, the wobble is a
-- decaying rotateZ about the ground contact point, the caught click is a
-- squash pulse, the stars are one shared quad drawn a few times facing the
-- eye. The ball owns its POSE only; where it IS (the throw arc, the drop)
-- is the caller's problem, which is what keeps this file a prop and not a
-- game mode.
--
-- Nothing here touches love.* until something has to be drawn, so the
-- module loads and the state machine runs headless -- the test suite
-- exercises the phases without a GPU.
