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.
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.
Suite 58/419 green; render files node --check clean.
The black boxes around furniture/windows were transparent object tiles drawn
straight onto the dark canvas. Fix at the pipeline level, not as a tavern one-off:
- tileRenderer: a tile kind whose legend declares `over` (the ground it sits on)
now draws that base tile FIRST, then the object on top — so the object's
transparent areas show the floor/wall. Works for any scene, atlas or flat-colour
fallback. Wall-grounding shadow strip now only applies to real walls, not objects.
- sceneModel TAVERN_LEGEND: declares over='floor' for bar/keg/shelf/table/chair/
barrel/crate/rug and over='wall' for windows.
- catSprites: the cat occupies ~40% of its 50x50 frame, so scale to ~2x the cell
and centre it — it now reads about tile-sized instead of tiny.
Client-only. Suite 57 suites / 413 tests green.
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.
- 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
- 3 new tests (242 total, 36 suites, all passing)
