Male_0..7 are 45-degree renders (viewed: 0=NW, 2=SW, 4=SE, 6=NE). In this iso
projection grid up->NE, down->SW, left->NW, right->SE, so map facing to the visual
movement direction. Applies to both iso packs (shared characters).
Proves the packs-as-products loop end to end:
- Copied Kenney Isometric Medieval Town wood tiles (floor/floor2/wall/window/
door/banner) into assets/kenney/iso-medieval/.
- Registered 'iso-medieval' as a 2nd iso RENDER pack (its own tile geometry —
Medieval tiles are shorter than the dungeon set; reuses the dungeon characters).
Strong on architecture; no medieval furniture at this scale, so furniture kinds
fall back to floor for now (shines most in the dungeon).
- Catalog product: DEFAULT_CATALOG + migration 026, iso tier 2 / 15 credits.
- PACK PICKER in the tavern: when a projection has >1 unlocked pack, a selector
appears to switch live (setActivePack -> re-render). Uses ?unlock=1 to preview.
So: switch Iso ★, and the pack picker lets you flip iso-dungeon <-> Medieval Town
live. Adding the next pack = assets + registerPack + a catalog row. 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.
Used the sheet's hand-labelled roguelikeSheet_meta.json to pick the RIGHT tiles
instead of guessing:
- New tile kinds + coords (window, counter, keg/barrel, shelf, table, chair,
crate, rug, door) in sceneModel TAVERN_LEGEND/TILE_OF + assetPacks tileMap.
- tavernMap redesigned: windowed walls, a bar counter with a shelf of bottles
behind it and a keg (beer!) at each end, six tables each with a chair, a
central rug, corner barrels/crates, and a door. Chairs are walkable so standing
on one reads as sitting. Warm wood floor color (was a dark green in the fallback).
- Bartender now stands BEHIND the bar (spawn + roam confined to the row between
the top wall and the counter, sealed off by it).
Still TODO from feedback: a cat (no cat sprite on the sheet — needs an asset) and
richer bar bottles. Suite 57 suites / 413 tests green.
① assetPacks.js merges the server-authoritative catalog (from the entitlement snapshot) into RK.PACKS — operator-added packs now appear client-side and existing packs pick up server definitions, retiring the client half of the split-brain. ② A confirmed direct/single_game payment now records as 'buy 1 credit + spend it': balance nets to zero but total_credits_purchased advances (recordDirectEntryPurchase), so direct play unlocks the same tier/threshold cosmetics as buying credits, and the client gets a fresh entitlement snapshot. +2 tests. Suite 49/345 green.
P1 foundation (branch feat/credits-catalog-foundation). Remaining: the buy modal reflects the unified credits model; a later pass can fully collapse single_game into the credit spend path.
Tavern: revert the per-cell 'varied floor/wall' tiles to coherent single tiles — mixing wood/stone/plank per cell read as visual noise (assetPacks.js).
Play area: draw the keyboard-focus outline inset (outline-offset -2px) so the yellow border shows on the right edge, which the container's overflow:hidden was clipping (ui.js).
Smirk: a locked wallet now shows a friendly 'unlock in the extension, then Retry' hint instead of a red error, and the LOCKED error code is preserved through connect()/signMessage(). Current Smirk builds auto-open the unlock popup on connect(); older builds throw LOCKED, which the Retry button re-invokes (smirkAuth.js).
- tavernLife.js: client-side NPCs (bartender, patrons, cat) with autonomous
movement, random speech bubbles, and real-player chat bubbles
- T2b: spectator camera — watch live dungeon runs from inside the tavern
(game list, spectate_start/update, ESC to leave)
- R1: sceneFromGameState adapter — converts dungeon game state to render-kit
Scene with lighting grid and entity mapping
- R2: pre-populated Kenney roguelikeSheet tile defaults for the tiled renderer
- Dungeon renderer support: TileRenderer + AsciiRenderer handle lightGrid,
dungeon features/items/monster entities
