Brian Fertig 91f63b76a2 feat: add Master of Vega (Master of Orion clone)
Introduces Master of Vega, a turn-based 4X strategy game built on MOO1 rules with MOO2 conveniences. The implementation features a fully headless, deterministic engine (VegaLogic) with zero Phaser dependencies, enabling complete Node-based verification (809 checks) and reproducible galaxy generation via mulberry32 RNG.

Key features:
- Preset ship hulls with an auto-refitting Mark system and provably monotonic knapsack loadouts.
- Tactical grid combat with banked damage resolution to eliminate first-strike bias.
- Galactic Council diplomacy, stalemate-breaking, and invasion forecasting.
- Drop-in artwork compatibility with procedural stand-ins for all spritesheets.
- Hireable leaders (admin/captain) and colony building queues.

Architecture splits cleanly into headless modules (GalaxyGen, Logic, AI, Combat, Diplomacy, Ships, Leaders) and a render tier (StarMap, SystemView, CombatView, Screens, Nebula, Art, Fx). A comprehensive build plan documents 19 architectural traps discovered and resolved during development.

Registers the game in the registry, asset manifest, preload scene, and soundtrack service. Includes tools/verifyMasterOfVega.js for automated rule validation, art verification, economy balancing, and AI self-play soaking.

Brian Fertig b42a71bf2f feat: add radar detection system with jamming and contacts
Introduce a second detection layer independent of line-of-sight vision.
Radar buildings (Radar Tower, Advanced Radar) provide coverage that reveals
unit positions through fog as contacts, while Radar Jammers can blind enemy
radar within range without affecting normal sight.

Key changes:
- Add three sensor buildings: Radar Tower, Advanced Radar, Radar Jammer
- Implement computeRadar() with jamming logic and stampDisc() optimization
- Add isDetectedBy() for radar contact detection
- Draw radar contacts as green diamond blips in WorldView
- Show radar contacts as neutral green pips on minimap
- Expand build grid to 2 rows and artwork sheets to 4 rows
- Refuse repair orders on airborne units; builders stop chasing airborne targets
- Add validation for radarRange and jamRange in rules compiler
- Update sprites.md documentation and add comprehensive tests

Brian Fertig cff1f02d9b feat: add air domain system with fighters, bombers, and hover units
Introduce a two-layer domain system (ground/air) that separates units into
independent simulation layers. Air units ignore the nav grid, never collide
with ground units, and can only be targeted by weapons listing "air" in their
targets. Hover units gain water-crossing ability via the move class cost table.

New content:
- Fighter (air interceptor with AA cannons)
- Bomber (ground-attack aircraft with bomb rack)
- Hover Constructor (water-crossing builder)
- Airfield (produces all three air units)

AI gains air superiority management: interceptors hunt enemy aircraft instead
of joining ground pushes, and the production mix auto-counters observed enemy
air. Ground anti-air (rocket troopers/tanks) also gain targeting weight.

Rendering adds a dedicated depth band for aircraft above all ground actors,
plus a displaced shadow sprite for altitude perception. HUD tooltips display
domain and weapon targeting information.

Validation ensures domain/moveClass agreement, requires at least one anti-air
weapon when air units exist, and excludes air classes from corridor generation.
Comprehensive test fixtures cover domain separation, collision, splash, and
order handling.

Brian Fertig 195e88f2dc feat(totalannihilation): add auto-heal for idle builders
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.

- 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.

Brian Fertig 4fcae92e59 feat(civ): AI-initiated diplomacy with frustration escalation
Introduce active diplomacy where rival leaders approach the player with
requests, demands, trades, and gifts rather than passively waiting.

New CivilizationDiplomacy.js module handles:
- 9 request kinds (joinWar, breakTreaty, borderUltimatum, demandGold,
  demandTech, techTrade, ceasefire, peace, alliance) with initiative
  tiers so urgent calls to arms aren't drowned out by filler offers
- Cooldowns per (leader, target, kind) plus a per-leader gap so a
  leader can't spam different requests to bypass rate limits
- Frustration grudge (0-100) raised by refusals, decaying each turn
  and dragging attitude toward hostility through the ordinary war path
- Escalation: frustrated leaders demand compensation, then renounce
  treaties at breaking point, with ordinary hostility finishing the job
- Border ultimatum promises checked when pledges expire (double penalty
  for broken word)
- Unprompted gold/tech gifts from leaders with high attitude
- Staleness validation so requests the world invalidated are dropped
- AI-to-AI requests resolve immediately through the same pipeline

UI changes:
- AI requests queued on state.pendingRequests, presented via audience
  popup at the start of the human turn (one per turn, configurable)
- Diplomacy screen shows ACCEPT/REFUSE with consequence hints until
  answered; unanswered requests lapse with half-weight penalties
- New event types: treatyRenounced, pledgeBroken/pledgeKept, aiGift
- Leader dialogue for demands, refusals, gifts, and renouncements
- Tetris Attack menu gets a title art backdrop

Data/infra:
- diplomacyRequests tuning in civilization-rules.json (thresholds,
  cooldowns, attitude weights, per-request config)
- Frustration, requestCooldown, lastRequestTurn, pledges fields on
  civ state — all backward-compatible with old saves
- Full verification suite covering eligibility, resolution, cooldowns,
  frustration arc, serialization, and fuzz testing

Brian Fertig 08d23f9613 refactor: replace stage clear targets with clear line boundary mechanic
Restructure Tetris Attack Stage Clear from "clear all target panels" to a
multi-stage round system with a sliding boundary line.

Gameplay changes:
- Each character now has 5 stages instead of a single match
- A CLEAR line appears after a set number of rows rise, then rides the
  stack upward; the objective is to clear everything above it
- Clearing a stage advances to the next: same board, faster speed, fresh line
- Stage progress is saved to localStorage; characters unlock sequentially
- Added a stage select screen with progress squares per character

Logic changes:
- Replaced `targetsTotal` with `clearLine` tracking and `countAboveLine`
- Added `advanceStage()` to resume play on the same stack one speed level higher
- Win condition now checks `countAboveLine() === 0` instead of target count
- Removed `target` flag from panels; panels below the line are irrelevant

UI changes:
- Clear line drawn as a pulsing bar with "◀ CLEAR" label outside the board
- "CLEAR LINE!" announcement on appearance, "STAGE N CLEAR!" banner on win
- HUD shows stage number instead of panel count
- Game over offers "Retry Stage", "Stage Select", or "Menu"

Asset changes:
- Backgrounds renamed to `background-{hero}-r{stage}.png` (5 per character)
- Lazy-load backgrounds per round instead of preloading all 30 images
- Updated tetrisattack.json with `stagesPerRound`, `stageSpeedStep`, and
  per-character `clearLineRows`

Tests:
- Rewrote stage clear soak tests for the new mechanic
- Added stage round progression, speed ramp, and board preservation tests

Brian Fertig 18412e34f9 feat: enhance Advance Wars replay HP display and terrain rendering, add Tetris Attack host backgrounds
Advance Wars:
- Add HP override system (seed/set/clearHpOverride) so units show correct
  HP during enemy-turn replay until their battle animation plays
- Redesign river/road channel rendering with layered depth: rivers get
  deep channel, light core, and ripple crests; roads get concrete shoulders,
  asphalt, and dashed centre lines phase-locked to tile seams

Tetris Attack:
- Add character sprite sheet and per-host background images (beth, jerry,
  michael, steve, victor, klaxon)
- Declare hero background assets in manifest; scene falls back gracefully
  when art is missing
- Update characterSheet path in tetrisattack-artwork.json

Brian Fertig ed2a60fa06 feat(tetris-attack): smooth panel fall animation and settling frame
- Track `_prevRow` on falling panels for interpolation during animation
- Add `_justLanded` flag to introduce a settling frame after panels land
- Interpolate panel Y position from previous row for smoother fall effect
- Defer match detection and chain-end logic until after settling frame
- Update assets: new background-menu and main-title images, update existing sprites

Brian Fertig f96f2d491c feat(advancewars): add HP text display to battle animations and procedural cursor
- Add HP text readout to battle animations showing 1-10 scale HP
  (matching Advance Wars' classic HP display), with smooth tweening
- Extract cursor drawing into procedural texture, keeping it independent
  of the UI sheet
- Add advancewars-ui.png sprite sheet and update artwork config
2026-07-19 19:04:14 -06:00
Brian Fertig a02e5a1913 feat(advancewars): add terrain-based battle scene backdrops
Introduce a new battle background spritesheet (advancewars-battlebg) that
displays context-appropriate backdrops behind each fighter during battle
cut-ins. The backdrop is selected based on the terrain/building type the
fighter is standing on (city, base, airport, port, plain, wood, mountain,
sea, reef, shoal, river, bridge, road, hq).

- Add battleBgSheet to artwork.json and asset manifest
- Implement playBattleAnim() backdrop system with terrain lookup
- Provide procedural fallback matching the real sheet's frame map for
  art-free playability
- Mirror defender backdrops to match mirrored defender sprites
- Document the 14-frame sheet spec in sprites.md (256×256 cells, 5 cols)

Brian Fertig 138b078dd2 feat: add pulsing animation to attack target tiles in Advance Wars
Introduce a breathing pulse effect (red fill + white border) for attack
target tiles to draw the player's eye when in "must pick a target" fire
mode. The previous static tint is preserved for the indirect-range preview
shown while a unit is merely selected.

- showAttackTiles now accepts optional { pulse: true } parameter
- Added tween-based animation with Sine.easeInOut breathing effect
- Properly clean up pulse tween in destroy() and clearOverlays()
- Updated AdvanceWarsGame to pass pulse: true when showing targets
2026-07-19 16:21:13 -06:00
Brian Fertig a0b3b5f063 feat(advancewars): add property capture cut-in animation with building squish
Introduce a cinematic capture animation when a unit captures a property:
a small window shows the capturing unit hopping atop the building, which
then squishes down to reflect remaining capture points (or pops back up
in the new owner's color if the capture completes).

- Add AdvanceWarsCaptureAnim.js with the full cut-in animation sequence
- Display remaining capture-points as a strength number on partially-
  captured buildings, tinted toward the owner's color
- Add `before` field to capturing events so the animation knows the
  starting HP
- Support partial unit sync so units are revealed action-by-action
  during turn replay instead of snapping to end-of-turn positions
- Add depth bias so units always render above buildings on the same tile

Brian Fertig fcc74bef28 feat(advancewars): improve battle animations and depth sorting
- Add new unit sprite sheet (advancewars-units.png/psd)
- Slow down all battle animations for better readability:
  - Attack, flash, death, and delay timings increased
  - Unit movement animation duration increased (70→180ms)
  - Explosion animation slowed down
  - Post-turn wait time increased (140→300ms)
- Merge props and units into shared Y-sorted "actors" depth band
  - Buildings and units now sort correctly by screen row
  - Move/attack overlays remain below actors for proper decal rendering
