- Add `flight` blocks to Fighter, Bomber, and Hover Constructor in rules JSON
defining height, takeoff time, and landing time
- Implement purely cosmetic altitude system: units ease upward when given
orders and settle back down when idle, using smoothstep easing
- Shadow stays pinned to ground position, fades in and shrinks as altitude
increases — the gap between body and shadow sells the height
- Health/build bars move with the lifted body; selection ring stays on ground
- Add production dials (progress pies) on the player's own factories:
top-left shows whole queue progress, top-right shows unit on the bench
- Pass real delta time to render() for framerate-independent takeoff animation
- Update sprites.md with flight system docs and art implications
- Add stub scene support and comprehensive verification tests
Add a complete Total Annihilation clone including:
- TotalAnnihilationGame.js: Main scene with fixed-step loop, input handling,
camera controls, selection, orders, and match lifecycle
- TAHud.js: Resource strip with flow rates, selection info, build/production
grid, minimap with fog of war, and toast notifications
- TAScreens.js: Main menu, skirmish setup, campaign list, pause menu, and
victory/defeat results
- totalannihilation-campaign.json: 6 hand-authored campaign missions with
escalating difficulty (skill 1→5)
- tools/genTACampaign.js: Campaign generator that bakes terrain from the
seeded map generator
- tools/verifyTotalAnnihilation.js: 13-section end-to-end test suite covering
rules integrity, artwork, economy, pathfinding, combat, fog of war,
map generation, serialization, AI skill ladder, and campaign winnability
- tools/lib/taStubScene.js: Minimal Phaser stub for headless testing
Engine improvements:
- TALogic.js: Swept projectile collision (no tunneling), quadratic AoE
falloff, manual weapon support (D-Gun), unrecoverable elimination, onTick
callback for AI stepping
- TAAI.js: Skill-based economy ladders, simultaneous factory+economy growth,
sticky focus-fire, home defense gating by skill, tune/profile overrides
- TANav.js: fitField dilation for unit clearance, stale fit mask invalidation
- TAWorldView.js: _addWorld for layer ordering, frame-accurate zoom anchor
math, container depth sorting every frame
- TARules.js: autoRangeOf excludes manual weapons, manual flag compilation
Art & data:
- Mayan civilization artwork added to civilization-artwork.json
- Several opponents switched to mayan citySheet
- totalannihilation-rules.json: balanced unit stats, new commanderlaser weapon,
restructured AI skill tuning, formatted JSON
- sprites.md: complete art spec for drop-in PNG sheets
- Registered in gamesRegistry, assetManifest, PreloadScene, GameRoomScene,
and soundtrack service
