- Refactor level select scene to handle variable node texture dimensions
instead of assuming all node art is centered on a 960×540 canvas
- Change BADGE_FILE_FRAC and nodeDisplaySize to accept per-state keys,
allowing map_node_current (512×512 badge) to differ from the other
nodes (960×540 frames)
- Update map_finish to use its new 512×512 tight export; reduce its
display scale accordingly
- Rename campaigns: "Sunny Suburbs" → "Evergreen Lake",
"Dusk Junction" → "Underprivileged Community"
- Update asset manifest dimensions and sprites.md documentation
Replace the flat level-grid level select screen with a campaign-based
map view. Levels are grouped into themed campaigns (e.g. "Sunny Suburbs",
"Dusk Junction") each with its own background art and node positions
rendered along a Catmull-Rom spline ribbon.
Key changes:
- Introduce CAMPAIGNS array in src/data/levels/index.js with helpers for
campaign/level lookup.
- Add src/data/levels/positioning.js for auto-layout S-curve generation
and Catmull-Rom spline sampling.
- Rewrite LevelSelectScene.js to render per-campaign maps with animated
node entrance, idle pulse on the current level, hover states,
tool-tips for locked levels, and ← → / P keyboard navigation.
- Remove the now-unused LevelCompleteScene; scores now record progress
and return directly to the map via LevelScoreScene.
- Add map assets (campaign backgrounds, node/flag/tag sprites) and
manifest entries with a documented 960x540 centered-canvas convention.
- Add src/util/mapArt.js for shared map geometry constants and scaling.
- IntroScene: use bg_main.png poster art as full background, layer
logo.png with a breathing tween aligned to the baked wordmark via
fitted similarity transform constants, and add a double-stroke
"Press any key" prompt (replaced auto-advance with input-only trigger).
- MainMenuScene: replace text title with bg_menu.png background and
centered logo.png overlay; add semi-transparent background pill to
instructions text for readability over the treeline.
- LevelSelectScene: add bg_menu.png background and background pill to
back button text for contrast.
- assetManifest: register bg_main, logo, and bg_menu textures.
- New assets: bg_menu.png, ctc.png, paid.png, bg_main.png, logo.png.
Correct the rectangle center offset calculation in Terrain to account
for both X and Y components perpendicular to each segment. Previously,
only the Y offset was applied, causing physics bodies to shift sideways
on sloped terrain. This fix resolves the bus visibly riding above or
through the ground on non-flat segments.
Also adds background and logo assets.
- 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.
