Moonlight Carnival starts from the carnival template at night, names 27 things to use (17 from the library, 10 built-in), lays them out in 57 lines, gives 8 groups something to do in 8 life lines and frames 4 views.
a travelling carnival at night: the moonlight gate and its ticket booth up front, a lit midway of game stalls under festoon lights, the carousel in a paved hub, chair swings and teacups either side, and at the back the big wheel and the striped big top. The crowd mills, kids run the midway, moths hang about the lamps and the crates on the grass send up fireworks now and then.
The scene line. It starts from the carnival template, a night fairground: a dirt circle in grass with trees around. The ground runs 34 m from the centre to the edge, lit for night. Seed 21 drives every random choice below: the same seed lays everything out the same way, every time.

Marks out a rectangle from (−3, 5.5) to (3, 33), 6 × 27.5 m, named midN. An area places nothing by itself: ground, scatter and wander lines use it (1 line: 36).
grounds: the paved midway from the gate to the hub, the hub round the carousel, the back midway

Every 8–12 s, each of launchers plays launch for 3 s, then rests. Each one keeps its own clock, so they never fire together.
Every 6–10 s, each of tester plays ring for 2 s, then rests. Each one keeps its own clock, so they never fire together.
