Camera: mount the render-kit host with inset:0 (fill #game-display) instead of
min(100%,78vh)+translate(-50%) centering. #game-display is grid-bounded (container is
100vh/overflow-hidden), so filling it gives the camera reliable clientWidth/Height every
frame — fixes the intermittent "player stranded in a top band, black below" off-centering.
Torches (in-game): drop the pack torch SPRITE composite — several sheets place it off-center/
rotated, reading as misaligned. Keep wall base + procedural RK.fx flame: a clean wall-mounted
torch that looks right in every pack.
Wait animations: shrink the juice bursts (18-24 -> 6-7 particles, spread 1.8-2.4 -> 0.6-0.7)
and remove the red death/caught bursts, so a grab/escape reads as a tight glint on the hero
instead of an explosion spraying onto the wall torches.
The render-kit "waiting room" replaced the beloved scripted drama (player races for a
pulsating treasure, grabs it, escapes or is devoured by a monster pack, death shockwave +
ESCAPED! celebration, randomized variants) with a static lit room — a big downgrade. Restore
BOTH ROT waiting animations (block-wait AND awaiting-payment, selected via Game._awaitingPayment)
by hiding the render-kit host and letting the ROT display own the waiting screen. Remove the
now-unused SP.showWaiting/hideWaiting/waitingScene bridge code. The pack/mode still applies in
actual gameplay, which is what matters.
The next-block wait now draws a small lit "mining room" Scene through the ACTIVE renderer
(RK.SPGame.showWaiting) — floor/walls/torches in your chosen pack (Tiled/Iso/3D), camera
centered, torches flickering via the FX loop — with the "Mining the next block" text as an
overlay. So the wait inherits your tiles/mode instead of being the plain ROT animation.
Falls back to the ROT WaitingScreenAnimator if the kit is unavailable. SP.render clears the
overlay when the real game starts.
- Modal: "Safe — full block window" overstated it (blocks arrive randomly, Poisson). Now
"Start fresh · blocks land at random" / "Jump in · race the time left".
- Camera: was snapping to the player every frame (jerky on canvas resize / level teleport).
Now glides (lerp 0.3) and only snaps on a big jump; snap-centers on new-game start.
The player-centered camera snapped the dungeon to the top-left corner after a while: the
renderer nulled focusPoint on a transient player-less frame, so the transform lost its
translate. Fix: focusPoint is now sticky (keep the last if the player is momentarily
absent), and the SP bridge re-applies the camera every frame via its own RAF loop, so a
canvas resize or a stale frame can no longer break centering.
- FOG: sceneFromGameState only emits exit/entrance/treasure/items once their cell is EXPLORED,
and the monster only while IN VIEW — no more exit stairs leaking through the fog.
- DESCEND FEEDBACK: reaching a non-final exit descends (multi-level) and used to silently dump the
player at a new entrance (read as a bug). Server now sends depth/maxDepth on game_event; the
client shows "Stairs down! Level N of M — keep going". Also lowered level counts (WOW 4->2,
BTC 8->3, XMR 2->1) — clearing 4-8 levels in one block was unwinnable; kept modest until proper
multi-level calibration + UX.
- CAMERA: the host filled the very-tall #game-display so centering put the player low; it's now a
bounded viewport (min(100%,78vh)) centered in #game-display, so the player stays on-screen-centered.
Suite 62/435 green.
The render-kit dungeon host was a flex item in a centered flex container (.rotdis) with
sibling canvases, so it got shrunk + shoved into a corner; and .rotdis canvas has
max-width:100% !important which clamped the camera canvas. Fix: host is now
position:absolute inset:0 (fills #game-display, which is position:relative), and the
canvas overrides max-width via setProperty(..., important). Dungeon now renders centered
on the player in the game area.
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 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.
