The +1s raining out of an empty sky came from a scene running on a tab
that had never been shown. An unshown QQuickWidget is 0px wide, and at
0px every coin sits at x=0, so the doge "collected" the whole field in
one step; the pickup pops from that phantom lap were still mid-flight
when the tab was finally selected and the real width arrived. Their
`SequentialAnimation on opacity { running: <bound> }` was cut off by the
width change, which leaves the property wherever it stopped — so a +1
hung in the air for the rest of the lap, next to a coin nobody had
taken.
Both halves are fixed:
* SceneWidget parks its scene on hide and starts a fresh lap on show,
and the QML refuses to run at all until it has been laid out. A
background tab now costs nothing, too.
* Every one-shot flourish (+1, bark, dust, GAME OVER) is started and
reset from an explicit handler, so an interrupted lap cannot strand
one on screen.
The rest is the ambient scene earning its keep:
* The face-plant has weight. He tips over his front paws — pivoting on
the paw at the grass line, not the middle of the sprite, which used
to swing his snout through the ground — squashes at the nose, bends
through the body, throws dust off the impact, and lies there
breathing. GAME OVER now lands a beat later so the crash reads on
its own, and the lap ends shortly after instead of running out the
clock on a wreck.
* He has opinions: HRNMMROOF, BONK, SNOOT.EXE and friends on a
wipeout; MUCH COIN, AMAZE, VERY WIN when he clears the field, with a
victory hop to go with it.
* More variety per lap: zero to three bills at their own speeds and
heights, a 1-in-3 fat +5 coin with a halo, a doge sitting in the
field during the empty beat, drifting clouds, a soft corona on the
sun, blinking stars and the odd shooting star at night, birds by
day, and a run speed that is no longer always eight seconds.
Verified by rendering scene.qml headless (qml6 + xvfb, frame grabs) at
the real widget sizes, and by driving two scenes through a QTabWidget to
watch the hidden-tab case before and after.
