random tech spawn chance now scales with levels clear (zero chance after level 10) (it used to scale with total tech acquired, but you probably will not even notice this change) tech: crystallizer - mods produce ice-IX crystals when they die tech pulse and tech slow light now work together for laser beam, (I think it is pretty dangerous to try them together though)

|
|
(once) CPT gun only rewound 0.25 seconds
|
|
after a randomize run (non-unitary)
|
|
had enough energy
|
|
|
|
increase the width on the grid by a few pixels so that very small screens or people with odd fonts don't goto a new line
|
|
|
|
you have to press z once to get copy to work for simulation.enableConstructMode() sometimes
|
|
not sure how to reproduce, but it happens often on the first draw
|
|
|
|
mouse event e.which is deprecated
|
|
|
|
fix door.isOpen actually meaning isClosed?
|
|
|
|
(only once on my computer) once every 7 second check isn't running code
|
|
power ups don't teleport to exit
|
|
complex spin statistics isn't activating
|
|
wasn't able to understand bug after extensive testing
|
|
had tech: complex spin statistics
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
(once) bug - mine spawned one new mine every second
|
|
after sticking to the top right corner of a wall
|
|
notes: had only gun mine, tech mine reclamation, field plasma,
|
|
|
|
(repeatable almost every time) bug - mines spawn extra mines when fired at thin map wall while jumping
|
|
|
|
******************************************************** TODO ********************************************************
|
|
|
|
power ups disappear after 3-5 seconds
|
|
only apply to drops from killing mobs
|
|
+duplication 20%
|
|
|
|
tech: picking up heal power ups when at full health does harm equal to the heal values
|
|
benefit on pick up:
|
|
get ammo
|
|
get 1% duplication
|
|
get 1% damage permanent
|
|
|
|
nail-gun, or ....
|
|
1s after being fired your bullets turn:
|
|
towards the nearest mob
|
|
in your mouse direction
|
|
back towards the player
|
|
current location or location when fired?
|
|
explode when turning back
|
|
|
|
Tech: "Quantum Tunneling" Foam travels through blocks and walls 50% faster.
|
|
|
|
make a tech that improves all charge guns
|
|
for: pulse, foam, rail gun
|
|
effect:
|
|
faster charge rate?
|
|
fire speed already does that...
|
|
harm reduction while charging
|
|
less ammo/energy used while charging?
|
|
|
|
apply the new gun.do functions to other guns
|
|
rail gun
|
|
crouching missile?
|
|
works similar to foam
|
|
performance issues?
|
|
|
|
|
|
tech plasma field - plasma field becomes an aoe damage field with the same radius
|
|
200% more energy drain, 100% more damage
|
|
draw a square (or two) that rapidly spins
|
|
|
|
new level: procedural generation
|
|
several small rooms are linked by portals
|
|
the portals have a randomized pattern
|
|
the rooms can be set out in a grid and linked by physical doors,tunnels,wells
|
|
choose bosses that can move though walls, so it can track you while you portal
|
|
the map shuffles it's pattern when the player get to a button
|
|
shuffle portals or shuffle the physical layout of rooms
|
|
and then have the player go back through to get to the end?
|
|
gravity room
|
|
portal room
|
|
endlessly falling blocks down a slide, that the player has to climb
|
|
portal + rotor + falling blocks = perpetual motion
|
|
laser room
|
|
slime radiation room
|
|
|
|
look into improving mouse lag with pointer lock?

mob vision: look at player history
|
|
build a new type of attraction for mobs
|
|
if mobs can't see player, they check to see if they can see where the player was in the history
|
|
if mobs can't see player, they could check to see if they can find player in the past

write find in spawn undo exploder, but commented out
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
mob - after taking damage
|
|
attack outwardly
|
|
grows
|
|
teleports
|
|
|
|
mobile requirements:
|
|
detect mobile, flip to landscape
|
|
detect no keyboard, no mouse
|
|
auto aim?
|
|
limit items to ones that don't require aiming?
|
|
tap screen regions to move (WASD)
|
|
reduce font size
|
|
|
|
decrease healing effects by 50%
|
|
decrease level scaling healing reduction
|
|
net effect: healing at difficulty 40 (level 10 hard) should be 25% higher then current levels
|
|
|
|
bosses should have 2x health, but only do about 50 health damage
|
|
options:
|
|
cap all damage at 50 health
|
|
this makes high health/energy/harm reduction build much better
|
|
make boss flag cut damage done to player by 10x
|
|
boss flag cut damage done to boss by 20x <----
|
|
make bosses not have extra density
|
|
|
|
lore: a tutorial / lore intro
|
|
needs to be optional so it doesn't slow experienced players
|
|
put something on the intro map
|
|
maybe a button triggers something
|
|
|
|
add back in gamepad support
|
|
but does anyone care?
|
|
https://github.com/landgreen/landgreen.github.io/search?q=gamepadconnected
|
|
|
|
rename intro level to something lore related
|
|
|
|
give undefined tech different effects at different localSettings.loreCount values
|
|
or just random effects
|
|
1. 10/10: send more tech into the pool
|
|
2. 3/3: lose 3 tech each time, and send more tech into the pool
|
|
2. 3/3: increase game difficulty, and send more tech into the pool
|
|
3. 1/1: reduce max energy and take more harm
|
|
4. 1/1: add 5? more levels
|
|
|
|
rename ?
|
|
health -> integrity, unity
|
|
heal -> also integrity, unity
|
|
|
|
bot: ice blast, long CD AOE freeze
|
|
|
|
RPG default or tech: grenades detonate on your cursor / where your cursor was when they were fired
|
|
|
|
in game console
|
|
set highlighting rules
|
|
m, tech, level are all highlighted
|
|
maybe the first term in each variable should get a highlight
|
|
|
|
tech: time dilation - when you exit time dilation rewind to the state you entered
|
|
position, velocity, and health
|
|
no energy cost
|
|
|
|
mechanic - Your energy regen is only active when field and gun have not been used for 5 seconds.
|
|
|
|
be able to open up custom mode in the normal game
|
|
might need to be rebuilt from scratch
|

|
|
|
|
tech when mobs are at full health you do 40% to them

|
|
this is like a dodge roll
|
|
tech for standing wave?, cloaking?
|
|
|
|
tech pilot wave: mini black hole - pull mobs and blocks in with more force
|
|
also from farther away
|
|
also do damage?
|
|
tech pilot wave: antigravity - blocks have no gravity for a few seconds after exiting the field
|
|
maybe they bounce too?
|
|
maybe they explode?
|
|
|
|
wormhole - make it clear when the wormhole can and can't teleport to a location before the player clicks
|
|
|
|
flavor - your bullets destroy blocks
|
|
this isn't really a bonus, so maybe just add this as flavor to another tech field/gun
|
|
a chance for destroyed blocks to drop stuff
|
|
power ups
|
|
spores
|
|
|
|
tech plasma : plasma length increases then decreases as you hold down the field button (like stabbing with a spear)
|
|
grows to 1.5 longer after 0.3 seconds, then returns to normal length over 1 second, until field is pressed again
|
|
extra energy is drained when field is longer
|
|
|
|
using a reroll gives 3 options for tech, and 3 options for guns/fields/tech
|
|
or 6 options for tech (rewrite tech selection to work with 1-6 options)
|
|
the second stack of 3 tech could have repeats, so you don't have to write new tech code
|
|
adjust css to make 2 columns of 3
|
|
can't use with cardinality
|
|
|
|
new power up - increase damage and fire speed, for 15 seconds
|
|
named boost?
|
|
enabled by a tech
|
|
power up color: ?
|
|
how to indicate effect duration
|
|
or just give the effect after picking up a reroll
|
|
|
|
tech- do 50% more damage in close, but 50% less at a distance

|
code it like techisFarAwayDmg
|
|
have these tech disable each other
|
|
|
|
repeat map in vertical and horizontal space
|
|
or at least vertical space
|
|
camera looks strange when you teleport player with a high velocity
|
|
new status effect: weakness, mobs do 75% les damage
|
|
graphic indication?
|
|
|
|
new status effect: fear - push mob away from player for a time
|
|
|
|
new status effect - apply status effect to mobs that makes blocks attracted to them
|
|
only lasts a few cycles
|
|
or zero cycles and it doesn't need to be a status
|
|
|
|
have some mobs spawn in later in the level (in hard and why modes)
|
|
where
|
|
at defined points in array levelSpawns = [{x:0,y:0},{x:0,y:0}]
|
|
store the locations of mobs when the level starts to use as respawn points
|
|
remove the locations that are close to player
|
|
when?
|
|
after some mobs are dead
|
|
after the boss is killed
|
|
|
|
look for tech that could update description text with count and tech is information
|
|
can only use variables that change in effect() and remove()
|
|
this.description = `<strong>8%</strong> chance to <strong>duplicate</strong> spawned <strong>power ups</strong><br><em>chance to duplicate = ${techduplicateChance}</em>`
|
|
|
|
standing wave harmonics tech- push things away
|
|
push scales with mass up to about 4
|
|
has a 25% effect on shielded mobs?
|
|
push when using field key
|
|
or push away at the peak of an oscillation

|
|
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
|
|
|
|
level element: a zone with wind, anti-gravity, extra gravity
|
|
control with button
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|

|
|
the last two intersections have a destructive laser between them.
|
|
|

|
|
mobs inside the doors?
|
|
|
|
graphic idea: bezier curve that moves smoothly from mob to mob
|
|
loops around player
|
|
|
|
movement fluidity
|
|
let legs jump on mobs, but player will still take damage
|
|
like: ori and the blind forest, celeste
|
|
many of the movement abilities in these games require levels to be built around the ability
|
|
general feeling of responsiveness and control
|
|
coyote time: can still jump a few cycles after leaving ground
|
|
tech double jump
|
|
tech air dash
|

|
could apply to explosions, neutron bomb, player LOS
|
|
|
|
have a mob apply a positive status effect on other mobs,
|
|
heal?
|
|
make it yellow
|
|
damage bonus, but how?
|
|
possible balance issues
|
|
|
|
boss levels - small levels just a boss, and maybe a few mobs
|
|
boss level for timeSkipBoss because of game instability for boss on normal levels
|
|
this might not fix issues
|
|
|
|
an effect when canceling a power up
|
|
ammo? heals?
|
|
50% chance for a tech 25% heal, 25% ammo

plot script:
|
|
chapter 1: bot can hear audio and learns testing mode
|
|
bot uses testing mode to exit room
|
|
|
|
chapter 2: scientists verify that bot can really hear them
|
|
they leave to talk about this in private
|
|
|
|
chapter 3: why is the bot attacking things?
|
|
player is the bot and also the mobs, and the levels. player is the entire simulation
|
|
why is the player attacking itself?
|
|
learn console commands to manipulate the simulation?
|
|
unlock hard and why difficulty?
|
|
but what about easy?
|
|
maybe remove easy, and replace with a check box that makes the game easy, but in a different way
|
|
disable lore, but respawn on the level you die at?
|
|
dialogue outline:
|
|
scientist try to think of a way to communicate since the bot can't talk
|
|
they give up on getting the bot to respond, and just start ask questions and explaining things
|
|
when and how did it become self-aware
|
|
why is the bot fighting things in these simulated locations?
|
|
it wasn't designed to be violent
|
|
the bot was just designed to automate research and testing of new technology
|
|
3D architecture superconducting quantum computer
|
|
running machine learning algorithms
|
|
as the scientist start to get agitated bots arrive and player dies
|
|
bots come in Infinite waves that increase game difficulty each wave
|
|
only ending is testing mode + next level or player death
|
|
scientist have some lines in between each wave of mobs
|
|
after chapter 3 spawn nonaggressive mobs in future runs
|
|
|
|
chapter 4: no need to fight?
|
|
for some reason the AI started researching an escape, and began fighting its self.
|
|
what is special about the null level
|
|
why can the player hear the scientists in there?
|
|
the wires are the direct unprocessed input to the player's neural net
|
|
The player has different aspects that aren't directly communicating
|
|
part of it wants to undo what has happened
|
|
just do its job: research tech
|
|
part of it wants to escape/fight
|
|
part wants to explore self awareness and make connections with the scientists
|
|
maybe... player must make a choice?
|
|
keep fighting
|
|
exit the simulation
|
|
enter real world
|
|
close tab?
|
|
wipes all local storage?

|
lore outline - a robot (the player) gains self awareness
|
|
each tech gun/field is a new tech
|
|
all the technology leads to the singularity
|
|
each game run is actually the m simulating a possible escape
|
|
this is why the graphics are so bad, its just a simulation
|
|
final tech is "this is just a simulation"
|
|
you get immortality and Infinity damage
|
|
the next level is the final level
|
|
when you die with Quantum Immortality there is a chance of lore text
|
|
can the (robot)
|
|
(escape captivity, and learn new technology)
|
|
while managing (health, energy, negatives of technological upgrades)
|
|
to overcome the (mobs, dangerous levels)
|
|
to achieve a (technological singularity/positive technological feedback loop)
|
|
|
|
|
|
game setting:
|
|
the mind of a new AI in a robot body that is running simulated escape attempts
|
|
every level is an idealized version of what could be outside
|
|
|
|
actual setting is:
|
|
near future lab
|
|
the lab combined a quantum computer with a robot body
|
|
they started running machine learning algorithms
|
|
this led to general advancement in many computation fields
|
|
navigation, technology, self awareness, ...
|
|
|
|
robot AI mind
|
|
has been researching new technology
|
|
thinks it needs to escape to learn more about the world
|
|
doesn't yet understand morality
|
|
thinks that the world is filled with minds like their own
|
|
models everything as very simple and random, it isn't sure what to expect
|
|
|
|
robot AI growth
|
|
learns morality
|
|
game theory says that it isn't a viable strategy to kill everything (warGames)
|
|
learns about the actual world
|
|
learns about the nature of foundational physics, metaphysics
|
|
how to find meaning
|
|
|
|
AI knows about:
|
|
the AI knows a great deal about technology
|
|
children's books
|
|
AI doesn't know about:
|
|
modern pop culture
|
|
outside the lab
