- New browser level editor (editor.html + src/editor/): assemble levels
from snap-together section generators (flat/inclines/hills/ditch/jump)
with a live canvas preview, metadata form, and export to ready-to-drop
levelNN.js source; example export registered as level04.js.
- Add parallax background sprites (bg_far/mid/near).
- Bus retune: softer, bouncier suspension (stiffness 0.45->0.35, damping
0.08->0.035, travel 12->30, restitution 0.3->0.45) with wheel rest
point raised 22->34 for a bouncier stance; drive force cut ~60%
(0.011->0.0045) for a much longer runway and lower top speed.
- Gravity 1 -> 0.675 for ~1.5x hang time off jumps; constraintIterations
2 -> 10 so the soft wishbone springs converge within one step.
- Bus: clamp each wheel to the underside of its wishbone anchor line on
every matter afterupdate, fixing wheels punching through to the
mirrored solution and sticking high on the chassis after hard impacts;
add no-op destroy() for the world listener.
- CameraRig: speed-driven horizontal lookahead (bus framed ~10% from the
left edge at rest, out to 1/3 of the screen at speed) via followOffset;
PlayScene scales the g-force grace period to 5.5s for the new gravity
and calls the new update()/destroy() hooks.
- Extend level01's terrain runway by 30x.
Throttle/brake now apply a direct, ground-only force to the chassis on
top of spinning the wheel, since friction-mediated propulsion alone
couldn't reach a satisfying top speed. isGrounded() checks the engine's
live collision pairs instead of tallying start/end events, which left a
counter permanently stuck above zero when crossing segment seams and
turned airborne throttle into a rocket thruster.
Kid.destroy() and GForceMonitor.destroy() no longer call
matter.world.removeConstraint()/off(): by the time a scene's 'shutdown'
handler runs, the Matter World plugin has already torn down and nulled
this.matter.world, throwing 'Cannot read properties of null'. Matter's
World#shutdown() clears all bodies/constraints/listeners itself anyway,
so both removals were redundant, not just unsafe.
