abiogenesis

tech: abiogenesis - spawn a second level boss on each level, but costs 5 research or if you don't have the research add 49 JUNK tech to the pool
  note to level builders I rewrote the add duplicate boss code in all levels: spawn.secondaryBossChance(x,y)

foam tech: uncertainty principle - foam bullets change position randomly, increase foam damage by 66%

throwing blocks now charges faster with reduced fire cooldown
tech renormalization now has a 40% chance to refund a research  (was 37%)
performance- now precalculate player gradient fill

******************************************************** NEXT PATCH ********************************************************
irradiated drones
new tech: beta radiation - double damage and half lifespan
now don't clump as often, to make the graphics look better
effective radius now includes edges of mobs, not just centers
so they work better on large radius mobs
do 50% more damage, but have a 10% smaller radius and last 3 second shorter time and 80% less ammo (was 75%)
irradiated drones can't get a slowing effect anymore
it was just too annoying
nano-scale can now unlock irradiated drone tech properly
nano-scale now drains more energy per irradiated drone, to scale with the higher ammo costs

time dilation field is now just called "time dilation"
constraints under time dilation is less buggy, but still a bit buggy

******************************************************** BUGS ********************************************************
player can become crouched while not touching the ground if they exit the ground while crouched
a couple times people have reported the final boss dropping extra bodies on death
Why does micro-extruder lag so much
blue triangle boss can move backwards and aim away from you if set up properly
issues with dot product probably, but might not be worth fixing
mouse event e.which is deprecated
fix door.isOpen actually meaning isClosed?
make it so that when you are immune to harm you can either jump on mobs or you pass through them
is there a way to check if the player is stuck inside the map or block
trigger a short term non-collide if that occurs
(intermittent, but almost every time) bug - capping the fps causes random slow downs, that can be fixed with pause
******************************************************** LEVELS ********************************************************
labs - procedural generation
bugs
mob spawns shouldn't be based on probability?
style
graphics look too bright?
add shadows and lighting and graphic details?
what about performance?
with the mobs staggered spawning it should be fine
feel
disrupt the flat ground
less platforming / easier platforming
the spinners on exit are still too hard...
make combat more interesting
is it laggy?
in loot room, spawn mobs after power up is grabbed
more background graphics, better colors
loot room:
make it more interesting to get the power up
slow player and reduce damage in region
increase the size of the region
don't have space for much
make graphics more unique
push player away, so that normal pick up methods don't work, but add a button to disable region
room ideas -
portal room
endlessly falling blocks down a slide, that the player has to climb up
portal + rotor + falling blocks = perpetual motion
slime room
sound room, with buttons to control sound
color room with r,g,b buttons to control color
mob buff zone: Map element: "Orbital Pickup Zone": Mobs that enter a specific area of the map gain +1 orbital per second, or a shield
could put in the loot room
buttons can now on/off boosts
repeat map in vertical when you fall teleport to above the mab, as if the map repeats
camera looks strange when you teleport player with a high velocity
map element - player rotates a rotor that makes a platform go up or down
level element: a zone with wind, anti-gravity, extra gravity
control with button
map: observatory
button controls rotation of telescope
laser beam shoots out of telescope
button opens the dome

Mob: "Tentacle": Sits on wall. Is a black blob. When you get near it, reaches out and grabs you, similar to wires. Does not deal damage.
maybe it could be immune to damage? but it is spawned by an actual mob
level Boss: fractal Sierpiński triangle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpi%C5%84ski_triangle
spawns a 1/2 size version of the boss, this version can also spawn a smaller version, but it is capped at some size level
they spawn once at the start of the level
if a version dies, one can be replaced every ten seconds by the largest version
give mobs more animal-like behaviors like rain world
mobs play, look for food, explore
mobs some times aren't aggressive
when low on life or after taking a large hit
mobs can fight each other
this might be hard to code
isolated mobs try to group up
mob: wall mounted guns / lasers
not part of randomized mob pool, customized to each level
level boss: fires a line intersection in a random direction every few seconds.
the last two intersections have a destructive laser between them.

******************************************************** TODO ********************************************************
tech - shorter cloaking delay
irradiated drones, get annoying when they go after mobs near the player...
should they only follow mouse? or at least show a preference for targets near mouse, not near player
tech - 1/2 your drone ammo/efficiency double the damage?
tech foam teleports around, like a quantum wave function collapse
should ammo apply to all guns, or just one of your guns?
if one gun only, it would make multi-gun builds weaker
nail bots should benefit from nail gun tech
tech: picking up heal power ups at max health does harm, but increases max health
scales with heal value
let standing wave harmonics get tech decorrelation
tech: cloaking field - decrease/increase cooldown on sneak attack?
decrease/increase damage bonus?
decrease/increase visual radius?
have throw charge scale with fire delay
in testing mode console log the body you click on
throwing a block removes the block and rewinds time 10 seconds (including health and energy)
