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.
- Splash legend (screenManager.js): every row now uses a uniform 2-cell icon slot at
a shared left edge and a single fixed text column, so the four icons + descriptions
line up regardless of glyph width (was: per-row span math + leading-space hacks →
ragged columns, player sprite offset).
- Character creator was already on the homepage but read like an admin control: the
button showed the DEFAULT character label "Operator". Renamed the default to
"Adventurer" (charCustomize.js), switched the icon 🧍→🎭, and gave it a clear
"Create / customize your character" tooltip so it announces itself.
- Replace asterisk (*) sparkles with floor tiles + bright golden color
- Remove skull emoji (☠) and death particles (% *) - use red flash effect
- Fix monster shadows causing black boxes - use red floor glow instead
- Replace 'ESCAPED!' emoji text with character-by-character transparent rendering
- Use GameTiles.getPlayerTile() instead of hardcoded '@'
- Use GameTiles.getMonsterTile() instead of hardcoded '~'
All tiles now render with proper transparency on floor tile base.
New dedicated animation while waiting for payment:
- Player runs toward BIG pulsating golden treasure
- Player always grabs the treasure (with dramatic pickup moment)
- Monster pack (4-6 monsters) spawns from multiple directions
- 60% chance: player escapes with treasure to the exit
- 40% chance: player gets devoured by monster pack (skull/death effect)
Animation features:
- Massive golden aura around treasure with sparkle ring
- Player glows gold when carrying treasure
- Death particles expand outward on devour
- Monsters converge from edges (left, right, top, bottom)
Existing 'Awaiting next block' animation preserved unchanged.
