Structure observations

  • Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
  • Primary languages: Swift.
  • The verified tree contains 4 project/configuration file(s) and 16 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

Project/MessyPileExample/MessyPileExampleApp.swift:12 — architecture anchor

@main
struct MessyPileExampleApp: App {
    // ...
}

Interpretation

The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into TabletopKit.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

Project/MessyPileExample/MessyPileExampleApp.swift:14 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

    @State var playground = Playground()
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
MessyPileExampleApp Playground (playground) owns wrapper-managed state App/module collaborators
PlaygroundView Entity (volumetricRoot) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
OrientedBox Pose2D (pose) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
OrientedBox Rect3DFloat (boundingBox) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable

Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Class and protocol design

Project/MessyPileExample/MessyPileExampleApp.swift:13 — representative type boundary

struct MessyPileExampleApp: App {
    // ...
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
MessyPileExampleApp Application entry and top-level composition App
PlaygroundView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
OrientedBox Represents a feature value or composable behavior Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
CenterOfMassSolver Represents a feature value or composable behavior Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
Plane3DFloat Represents a feature value or composable behavior Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
ConvexBoundary2D Represents a feature value or composable behavior Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
Playground Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle EntityRenderDelegate
Card Represents a feature value or composable behavior EntityEquipment
MessyPile Represents a feature value or composable behavior EntityEquipment
Seat Represents a feature value or composable behavior TableSeat

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.

Access control

Symbol Access Verified effect Likely rationale
findEdgeIndexSurrounding (Project/MessyPileExample/Support/BoundedConvexHull.swift:116) internal No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. Inference: the language’s file or module boundary is sufficient for this sample collaboration.
findTopVertexAndRemainingVertices (Project/MessyPileExample/Support/BoundedConvexHull.swift:139) internal No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. Inference: the language’s file or module boundary is sufficient for this sample collaboration.
findConvexHullPlaneContaining (Project/MessyPileExample/Support/BoundedConvexHull.swift:168) internal No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. Inference: the language’s file or module boundary is sufficient for this sample collaboration.
makeEdgePlane (Project/MessyPileExample/Support/ConvexBoundary2D.swift:176) internal No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. Inference: the language’s file or module boundary is sufficient for this sample collaboration.

Reference code

Project/MessyPileExample/Support/BoundedConvexHull.swift:116 — representative boundary

    internal func findEdgeIndexSurrounding(corners: [Point3DFloat],
                                           center: Point3DFloat,
                                           from vertex: Point3DFloat) -> Int {
        // ...
    }

Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.

Logic ownership and placement

Logic Owning type or file Placement rationale
Application entry and top-level composition MessyPileExampleApp The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlaygroundView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
Delegate or data-source callbacks Project/MessyPileExample/Entity/Playground.swift:13 Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner.
Actor-isolated state Project/MessyPileExample/Entity/Playground.swift:19 Actor annotations make the concurrency ownership boundary explicit.

Naming conventions

  • Types: App: MessyPileExampleApp; View: PlaygroundView.
  • Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
  • Methods: calculateCenterOfMass, clampCenterOfMass, calculateCenterOfContactAndWeight, calculateCentersOfMass, distance, contains, strictlyContains, height.
  • Files: Project/MessyPileExample/MessyPileExampleApp.swift, Project/MessyPileExample/Views/PlaygroundView.swift, Project/MessyPileExample/Support/CenterOfMassSolver.swift, Project/MessyPileExample/Support/ConvexBoundary2D.swift, Project/MessyPileExample/Entity/Playground.swift, Project/MessyPileExample/Equipment/Card.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • MessyPileExampleApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches TabletopKit, RealityKit, SwiftUI, RealityKitContent through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
  • Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
  • Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
  • The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
