Red pulse: _fxOnPlayerMoved fired a full-screen red FX.flash whenever a monster was within 3
tiles (throttled 550ms) — the monster usually IS within 3 tiles, so it pulsed on nearly every
step. Removed it; the monster is already on-screen, so proximity needs no flash. FX.flash is now
reserved for genuine one-shots (win/lose).
Descend feedback: taking the stairs only logged a tiny chat line. Add showEventBanner() — a big
centered pop-in/hold/fade banner over the game view (pointer-events:none, auto-removed) fired on
descend ("LEVEL n / N") and treasure ("TREASURE SECURED"), with a soft one-shot colored flash.
Chat lines kept as the log trail.
Commit to the render kit as THE single-player renderer (legacy = hard fallback only). Fixes
the two things that broke it:
- CAMERA: each renderer now exposes focusPoint (the player's pixel pos); the SP bridge mounts
a self-sizing 16:10 viewport host and CSS-transforms the canvas to centre the player at a
readable zoom (wheel to zoom). Renderer-agnostic (tiled/iso/3d). No more whole-level-in-a-corner.
- MONSTER: the tiled renderer drew a hardcoded red dot; now it draws the Goblin character sprite
(char-goblin, the same path the tavern draws characters), red orb only as last-resort fallback.
Re-enabled: _drawGameScreen prefers RK.SPGame; spRenderPicker ENABLED. Suite 62/435 green.
NEXT (still owed): make the splash + both waiting animations render through the kit too, so
they use the chosen pack/mode instead of the ROT text screens.
The render-kit SP dungeon shipped without a player-centered camera or entity sprites,
so it drew the whole level tiny in a corner with a red-dot monster. Disable it and fall
back to the proven legacy renderer (original tiles, real monster, centered view) until
the kit has a camera + sprites. RK.SPGame/spRenderPicker kept but dormant (one flag to
re-enable). Splash legend: draw every icon (incl. the player) as a uniform grid tile —
no avatar overlay — so the four rows align AND the player shows the original hero tile.
The migration that makes the pack ladder pay off IN the dungeon, not just the tavern.
The SP game now draws via RK (Tiled/ASCII/Iso/3D + unlocked packs) instead of the
legacy ROT display.
- Adapter: sceneFromGameState now consumes the CLIENT state shape (sparse {y:{x:v}}
tile maps, not just server arrays) via maxDims(). Verified + unit-tested.
- Bug fix: RK.sceneFromGameState was never actually exposed (only RK.scene.*), so
matchClient + tavern spectator were silently no-op-ing. Aliased onto RK.
- Bridge (spGameRenderer.js, RK.SPGame): mounts an RK renderer in a dedicated host
inside #game-display, toggles the legacy ROT canvases, zoom-enabled. Game._draw
GameScreen prefers it and FALLS BACK to RenderEngine on any failure, so the live
game can never blank. ROT still draws the splash/win/lose text screens.
- Picker (spRenderPicker.js): homepage mode + pack selector, gated by entitlements
(free = Tiled/Original + ASCII; ladder unlocks Iso/3D/packs), rebuilds on identity.
- index.html loads the render-kit renderers + the bridge/picker.
Bundled with the catalog ladder (migration 028): free Original bare pack, ladder
1/5/10/20/40/50. Deploying makes the free tavern bare (by design) AND the dungeon
render-kit-ed. v1 renders the whole explored level + zoom (player-centered camera is
the next polish). Suite 62/435 green; adapter smoke-verified.
