When a city cannot complete a build (e.g., size < 2 for settlers),
shields were accumulating past the build cost, showing confusing
values like "60/40 shields" or negative turn counts.
- Cap shieldBox at buildCost each turn in processCity
- Clamp displayed shields to min(shieldBox, cost) in city screen
- Add tests verifying shield capping and stalled build completion
- Capture attacker/defender snapshot (id, civ, type, start position) in
combat events so the UI can reconstruct them after resolution
- Add `animateCombat()` that plays sequential lunge/retreat animations for
each combat, death flash/shrink for the loser, and optional victory glide
for unopposed winners stepping onto the cleared tile
- Add `animateUnitsAlong()` to glide AI civ units between before/after
snapshots, enabling the same "resolve now, animate after" pattern for
AI turns
- Track unit containers in `unitContainers` map for lookup by unitId
- When player unit encounters combat mid-path, animate the peaceful leg
first then play the clash
- Add `collectNewCombatEvents()` to pick up and mark consumed combat events
- Add `isTileVisible()` helper for filtering AI combat to visible tiles
- Update tests to verify advance-after-kill and combat event shape
- Update ship sprite frame dimensions to match actual UQM rotation assets
- Parse .ani hotspot files to correctly center tightly-cropped ship frames
- Replace CRT overlay effect with native camera shake for hit/explosion feedback
- Fix camera zoom clamping to prevent ships from going off-screen on 16:9 display
- Correct ship rotation frame mapping (UQM sheets rotate clockwise)
- Add keyboard navigation to ship picker with focus rings and sound feedback
- Support both control clusters for hotseat and single-player ship selection
- Remove unused CRT overlay import and related cleanup code
- Update asset fetcher to handle per-frame hotspot alignment from .ani files
- Register Star Control in games registry as 2-player arcade game
- Import and register StarControlGame scene
- Add starcontrol slug mapping in GameRoomScene dispatch
- Load star-control-ships.json asset data in PreloadScene
- Add dynamic ship sprite sheet loading in asset manifest
- Update README to reflect new game in Arcade/Console/PC category
- Update game icons to include Star Control icon (frame 82)
- Replace time-based splitAt/splitDone with screen-space Y zones (SPLIT_ZONE_1
at top third, SPLIT_ZONE_2 at halfway) for more predictable MIRV behavior
- Add MIRV_RESPLIT_WAVE (wave 8): from wave 8 onward, MIRV buses split twice
instead of once, creating more late-game pressure
- Lower early-game difficulty: MIRV starts at wave 3 (was 6), reduced base
chance (0.05 vs 0.15), increased growth rate, lowered max (0.4 vs 0.5)
- MIRV trunk continues flying toward its target after each split
- Updated verification tests for split-zone geometry and new missile fields
- Cleaned up obsolete splitAt/splitDone fields across test fixtures
- Chain reaction explosions: player kills trigger delayed secondary blasts
that can destroy nearby missiles (bounded to one extra tier)
- Inter-wave "COLORADO DEFENDED" recap animation showing surviving cities
(+500 each) and leftover missiles (+25 each) with tallying sounds
- Dynamic wave bonus: replaced flat SCORE_WAVE_BONUS with per-surviving-city
and per-remaining-missile bonuses, emitted in waveComplete event data
- Vector-style skyline: hand-authored Rocky Mountain ridgelines with snow
caps, building presets for varied city skylines, wireframe silos/cities
- Minimal VectorFont module for the recap banner text
- Curved CRT overlay: WebGL barrel-distortion pipeline with chromatic
aberration, sheen highlight, vignette, and pulse on impacts
- Three new 8-bit SFX: explode, explode2 (chain), count (tally)
- Updated verification tests for chain reactions, wave bonus breakdown
Add character assets (sprites/videos) and sound effects for Aiko, Blackwind,
DV-8-2303, Kage, Nadia, Nicole, and Steve.

- Rework Body Slam (The Smasher) power to launch at 0.7× speed with reduced gravity, aligning physics with updated power documentation
- Adjust orange/green peg counts for levels 26, 27, 30, and 32 to fine-tune difficulty
- Add Maurice character assets (PNG & MP4)
- Clean up redundant portrait emotion triggers and add verification tests for weighted sampling and slam ball behavior
- Multiball now spawns 3 additional balls fanned at ±18° instead of 1 mirrored ball
- Fireball scales ball radius by 3x
- Zen Ball grants 3 stacking charges, consuming one per shot
- Reduce base launch speed to 920 and add rotateVec utility for velocity rotation
- Update verification tests to match new power behaviors
- Add opponent portrait emotional reactions in SWDBG for expensive purchases and bounty defeats
Expand Peggle from 5 to 25 levels (5 per friend) with unique shapes and
progressive difficulty. Each friend block (Ethel, Kona, Zanthor, Fireball,
Victor) gets distinct names, backgrounds, and level layouts.
- Redesign level select: one row per friend showing portrait, name, power,
and their 5 level tiles
- Add friend intro screens: video (or portrait fallback), bio, and power
explainer before each friend's first level
- Intros skip on replay/try-again; input hold prevents accidental cannon
launches after UI clicks
- Add intro videos for Ethel and Kona; document the video system
- Update level generator with `pentagram()` helper and 5 variants per friend
- Verify block integrity, intro markers (1,6,11,16,21), and level name uniqueness
Regenerate all galaxy cards from the owner's physical card CSV
(assets/info/sw-force-cards.csv) with verified stats, abilities, and
bounty rewards. Cross-check is enforced by tools/verifySWDBG.js.
New mechanics:
- oppChoice: opponent picks between discard / giveForce / attackBoost
(Duros Spy, B-Wing)
- dealDamage: exile-self effect targeting base OR enemy capital (Y-Wing)
- buyGalaxyDiscard: exile a unit to purchase from the discard pile
(Jawa Scavenger)
- topdeckNextPurchase: next buy goes on deck top (Twi'lek Smuggler)
- takeRowTemp: borrow a row card, exile it at turn end (Grand Moff Tarkin)
- lookTopSwap: peek deck top, swap with a row card while Force is yours
(Moff Jerjerrod)
- lookOppHand: reveal opponent's hand, optionally topdeck a card
(Jyn Erso)
- purchaseToHand: onPurchase adds card to hand instead of discard
(Fang Fighter)
New ability gates: requiresOppCapital, requiresTraitInPlay,
requiresOtherHero, requiresForce (on multi effects).
New constant ops: typeBoost (Admiral Piett), selfBoostPerBaseLost
(Baze Malbus). New timing: onPurchase.
Updated 55+ cards with corrected costs, attacks, HP, counts, traits,
and abilities. Added 11 new frames to the art sheet (55–65); 4 frames
orphaned but preserved.
Adds ~20 scripted rule spot-checks covering all new mechanics.
- Add `requiresCapital` ability gate to card definitions
- Rework TIE Fighter: constant boost → action that draws a card if you control a capital ship
- Rework Darth Vader: constant +4 attack while Force is with you (removed damage ability)
- Rework Cassian Andor: onBounty trigger forces opponent discard on galaxy row kills
- Rework Luke Skywalker: onPlay destroy enemy capital ship if Force is with you
- Centralize ability requirement checks via `abilityGatePasses()` helper
- Apply gate checks to onBounty, onPlay, and onReveal triggers
- Add Force track shift SFX (light/dark variations) with randomized playback
- Update verification tests for new card behaviors
Add a "Spells" button during adventure room windows allowing the human
to cast hand spells targeting the hero currently mid-crawl (not just
entrance-queued heroes). The adventure modal stays open across the cast,
narrates spell effects as banners, and correctly resumes the walk
afterward without skipping rooms.
Key changes:
- New `adventurePause` walk type and `ADV_RESUME_MARKERS` to mark the
boundary between a cast's own effects and resumed walk events
- `findHero` now locates heroes in `adv.walking.hero`
- `showPickModal`/`showReactModal` accept custom callbacks to stay
inside the adventure modal session
- `driveAdventureWindowDecision` routes window/react decisions to the
modal UI instead of closing it
- AI window/react turns are computed and revealed via a "has cast:"
overlay before applying
- `applyAdventureWindowChoice` applies choices directly to the engine,
splits events into narration vs resumed walk, and plays banners
- New event types (`roomBoosted`, `heroHurt`, `heroHealed`, `heroFeared`,
`heroTeleportMarked`, `heroesBlocked`, `soulBurned`, `handReset`)
render as banners in the narration pipeline
- Two new verification tests for mid-walk targeting and fearHero safety
- SWDBG: add animated buy sequence with funding arcs, center-screen reveal,
and face-down stow to discard/deck
- SWDBG: introduce stable row slot tracking so bought/lost cards don't shift
neighbors; add ghost cards for pending animations
- SWDBG: add end-of-turn discard animations preserving old-hand positions;
emit endTurnDiscard events from logic
- SWDBG: add deep-dive Buy/Attack buttons for actionable cards; refactor
dealCardAnimated with startAs/flipTo/keepAlive support
- SWDBG: add drawArcArrow/drawArcArrows for converging attack visuals on
bounty kills and base attacks
- Dungeon Boss: add mid-walk advRoom casting window after room events,
letting players react to damage/kills during hero crawl
- Dungeon Boss: track walking hero in publicView and entranceHeroesOf so
spells and AI heuristics can target mid-crawl heroes
- Dungeon Boss: replace pre-bait token snapshot with overlay system —
pending bait heroes stay in town with fly-in tokens; pending draw cards
show card backs until animations land
- Dungeon Boss: keep heroes in battle zone after roomHit/pass instead of
returning them immediately
- Update images, registry (defaultPlayfield), and verifier (advRoomCasts)
Implement two complete card games with full rule engines, AI opponents
(5 skill levels), procedural rendering, and drop-in art support.
Dungeon Boss: Boss Monster-style dungeon building game for 2-4 players.
Players build dungeons of rooms and spells to lure and defeat heroes,
harvesting souls to win. Includes 8 bosses, 31 room cards, 16 spells,
and 41 heroes with class-based baiting mechanics.
Star Wars Deckbuilder: 2-player deckbuilding game. Players build decks
from faction and neutral cards, purchase from the galaxy row, bounty hunt
enemy units, and attack bases. First to destroy 3 enemy bases wins.
Includes 90-card galaxy deck, 10 bases with abilities, and the Force
mechanic.
Both games include:
- Pure logic engines (rules-verified by headless test suites)
- Synchronous heuristic AI with skill-based decision quality
- Phaser scenes with vector-rendered procedural art
- Drop-in sprite sheet support via JSON mappings
- Tutorial documentation and art specifications
- Registration in the game registry and scene loader
Unscramble 4 base words, then collect circled letters to solve a riddle
bonus answer. Includes a seeded puzzle generator (tools/genJumble.js),
a verifier (tools/verifyJumble.js), and 58 procedurally generated levels
with progressive difficulty.
Also:
- Fix Pai Gow Poker seat rendering to only draw active seats
- Reduce Pai Gow max players from 6→5, max opponents from 5→4
- Add track 19 ("Down the Line" by Journey) to music
- Add Michael opponent voice lines (terry, victor)
- Update game-icons sprite sheet
