Idle builder units now automatically repair damaged allied structures
and units within their build range. A priority system ensures defensive
buildings are repaired before factories and other buildings. Auto-heal
orders are marked as non-player-assigned so explicit player orders
always take precedence. Builders can re-prioritize targets on a
retargeting cadence, similar to combat target acquisition.
Includes visual asset updates for TA arm and core units/structures.
Adjusts test to isolate passive self-heal from the new auto-heal mechanic.
Introduce three new entities:
- Rocket Trooper: anti-armor infantry with shoulder-mounted guided rocket
- Constructor: unarmed tracked builder to replace lost commander build capacity
- Advanced Vehicle Plant: 4×4 factory with doubled production bays
Update AI composition weights and counter logic for the new units. Fix
byDef map to use Object.create(null) so the "constructor" key doesn't
shadow Object.prototype.constructor and silently poison gap calculations.
Add procedural art shapes for all three, register proc shapes in TARules,
update sprite frame assignments, and add core-structures assets.
- Add TA-specific sound effects (machinegun, 50cal, rocket variants, unit/vehicle loss)
- Add background artwork and update core-units sprite sheet with correct path and dimensions
- Introduce pintle gun weapon with burst fire mechanics
- Switch weapon sounds to TA-themed audio; support sound arrays for random variant picking
- Add impactSound field to projectile weapons, propagated through sim events
- Reduce unit build times and increase structure HP for better pacing
- Enable idle breathing/rotation animations on resource generators
- Replace solid-color backdrop with painted background image on main menu
- Fix camera state cleanup so menus render correctly after gameplay
Bloxorz:
- Rewrite renderer with axonometric projection, rigid 3D box rolling, and continuous face shading
- Introduce new tile types: heavy switches (standing-only), soft switches, hold pads, fragile ground, split cubes, and teleporters
- Redesign all 36 levels using hand-authored ASCII maps in the generator, organized into six progressive acts
- Add design gates to verify solvability, mechanic necessity, and difficulty progression across acts
- Improve input handling with a directional compass, WASD/arrow key resolution, and smooth teleport/fall animations
- Update tutorial to document new mechanics and tile behaviors
Total Annihilation:
- Extend unit/building sight range to cover weapon max range + 2 tiles for improved fog visibility
- Implement crossfade between wireframe and finished sprites for building construction
- Switch to full-color assets by removing army tinting, and update artwork JSON paths/sizes
- Adjust weapon stats (damage, reload times) in rules
- Update sprites documentation to reflect the new visual pipeline
- Add Bloxorz as a new logic game with tutorial support
- Register Bloxorz in games registry, main scene, and game room dispatch
- Preload bloxorz.json artwork data in PreloadScene
- Fix arm-structures artwork path and frame dimensions for Total Annihilation
- Balance Total Annihilation weapon stats:
- Increase tankgun damage (95→145)
- Decrease rocketpod damage (130→80)
- Decrease towerlaser damage but increase fire rate (62→52, 1.4→0.4s reload)
- Decrease towermissile damage but increase fire rate (175→135, 4.5→1.5s reload)
