The shared "juice" layer, pure-canvas (CSP-safe, no WebGL/shaders), driven off a
clock so both renderers light a scene the same way:
- html/js/render/fxLayer.js (NEW): RK.fx — layered-sine flame flicker, additive
warm glow, a dancing two-layer canvas flame, and pulsing hazard overlays
(lava/poison/spikes) with a footprint-clip callback so it fits square cells
and iso diamonds alike.
- Tavern now has FIRE: 4 corner braziers + a hearth on the left wall throw real
flickering light. Placed along walls, clear of spawn/aisles/tables.
- Both renderers: torch/hearth/hazard tiles draw only their FLOOR base in the
static pass (no more solid amber block), then RK.fx paints the animated flame
/ hazard pulse in the live loop. Tiled caches emitter positions and draws them
over the vignette so light punches through the dark edges; iso adds them as
depth-sorted fx items and keeps its RAF alive while any fire/hazard is onscreen.
- Dungeon hazard zones wired end-to-end in the scene model (lava L / poison P /
spikes ^ chars -> pulsing tiles) — they render the moment the generator emits
them; no client-authoritative fakes.
- fxLayer.js included in tavern.html + match.html.

Fixes the "thin disconnected slabs" on the top-left/bottom-right walls and juices
the iso scene:
- Wall facing: iso walls have an orientation. A run along grid-x uses the _S
rotation, a run along grid-y uses the perpendicular _W (I viewed the tiles:
_S faces SW, _W faces SE — the two camera-facing rotations), and true corners
use the corner tile. The renderer picks per-cell from neighbours. Enclosing
walls now read as continuous faces on all four edges. Same logic gives
windows/doors a Y rotation.
- Floor variety: deterministic per-cell hash sprinkles planksBroken into wood
floors and stoneTile/stoneUneven into stone — no more flat identical sea.
- Juice: soft contact shadows ground every prop + character, and a warm radial
vignette lights the room instead of it looking pasted onto black.
- Tavern map: barrels/crates line the side walls (clear of windows/spawn, via
the wall-safe put()) so the lobby reads lived-in in every render mode.
Suite 58/419 green.
A — RICH ISO. The old iso-dungeon was a 7-tile sliver of Kenney Isometric
Dungeon; wire the full set so town/dungeon are RICH and interchangeable:
- Real architecture: full stoneWall, stoneWallWindow (actual window),
stoneWallDoorOpen (real door), archway, wood column, stairs.
- Distinct furniture per kind: table -> tableShortChairs (table+chairs),
keg/barrel -> real barrel, crate -> woodenCrate, shelf -> woodenCrates,
chest -> chestClosed (added to the floor+prop compositor). No more
everything-is-a-chest.
Facing (was 90 deg off, twice): verified against live movement the sprites are
angled CLOCKWISE from NE (0=NE,2=SE,4=SW,6=NW), so up->Male_0, right->Male_2,
down->Male_4, left->Male_6. Now the run anim points the way you actually move.
ASCII picker no-op: ASCII draws glyphs and consumes no tile pack, so
projForMode(ascii)=null and the packbar hides for it (it only ever made sense
for Tiled/Iso).
Suite 58/419 green.
The engine behind 'add more 2D tilesets / iso packs / 3D skins as products'. A
pack is a self-contained render environment for a projection (topdown/iso/3d);
because scenes are kind-based, the SAME pack renders both town and dungeon
(interchangeable), and each maps to a catalog id (monetizable, entitlement-gated).
- packRegistry.js: registerPack / packsForProjection / unlockedPacks (canUsePack)
/ activePackId (saved-if-unlocked else first unlocked) / setActivePack /
activePackAssets. Per-projection active-pack selection, persisted. In-memory
store fallback so it's testable under Node.
- assetPacks: registers the 3 built-ins (roguelike-interior topdown, iso-dungeon,
kenney-3d-characters) + activeIsoAssets()/activeThreeAssets() resolvers; RK.theme()
now defaults to the active topdown pack.
- isoRenderer + avatarVisuals (iso/3d character lookup) read the ACTIVE pack.
- packRegistry loaded before assetPacks in tavern + game.
Backward-compatible: one pack per projection resolves to today's defaults — nothing
changes visually. Adding a pack now = registerPack(...) + assets + a catalog row.
Tests: +5 (register/list, unlock filter, active/saved/fallback, refuse locked).
Suite 58 suites / 419 tests green.
The iso renderer only drew floor+wall (bar/table hardcoded). Generalize the
floor-base + prop compositing to all furniture kinds (bar/table/chair/keg/shelf/
barrel/crate) and map them to the iso-dungeon tiles: stacked barrels = the bar +
kegs, chest = tables/crates/shelves, chair = chairs. Half walls kept (full walls
would occlude the front row). Same coherent iso-dungeon art set. Client-only.
