10  `062026` (`E:/a327ex/062026/`, a temporary date-name) is a **side project** — something to design/build in the gaps while the agent runs [[project_mini_looper]] tasks. It is explicitly NOT a second main project; keep it cheap.
11  
12  A **build-heavy action roguelite** (SNKRX × Risk of Rain): pick one of the ~55 SNKRX units reimagined as a solo **active-aim** class (kit = Passive + Primary + Secondary + Mobility + Ultimate), fight waves, and build it via **Linked Sockets** — gems socketed into abilities (5 sockets/ability, intrinsic socket-cost [1, keystones 2–3], per-ability caps, full-catalogue **deterministic** choice — no gambling). Builds are authored; per-run "surprise" is a **deferred** knob (seed / menu-subset / mutator / route / threat).
13  
14  **Full design + the canonical unit-creation process + two worked example units live in `E:/a327ex/062026/design.md` — read it first.** Examples: Swordsman (multi-carrier melee: cleave + Cross-Guard flurry) and Archer (single-carrier, all arrows).
15  
16  Key principle — the **Carrier Axis**: a class is single-carrier (one delivery method → archetypes blend, high interplay, global gems) or multi-carrier (distinct methods → modal builds, per-ability gems); choose consciously per unit. Favor archetype interplay (X+Y builds).
17  
18  Status (2026-06-05): **grey-box started.** Forked from `snkrx-template` into `E:/a327ex/062026/` (its own copy of Anchor 2 + the snkrx toolkit; initially `.git` not copied, but a **private GitHub repo `a327ex/062026`** (SSH `origin`, created 2026-06-05) now version-controls it — commit/push there going forward; the end-session skill's project-repo step applies). The build lives in `062026/main.lua` (started from the clean reference scene). First playable: moving player (WASD/arrows + mouse-aim, already in the template), a **trickle of seekers from the right** edge toward the player (cap 12, one per 0.6s, 4 seeded), 4 boundary walls, and the **Swordsman Cleave** on LMB — a **square** AoE (`area` carrier, `shape='rect'`) popped just ahead of the aim (placeholder dmg 8 / cd 0.35s / half-side 18). Decisions this session: cleave = SNKRX-style **square** (not wedge/circle); enemies enter **from the right**; the swordsman is **yellow** (SNKRX-canon). Since then: cleave tuned to size/reach 32 (a 64px square) + cd 1 + **hold-LMB-to-repeat**; an **F1 live knob-tuner** panel (built from the snkrx UI toolkit) over the cleave/spawn constants; and a **swing sound** on the cleave — the template's existing `sword_slash` v3 (`Sword_Slash_1_v3.ogg`) at ±10% pitch, F3-tunable under the `sword_slash` volume key. (Briefly wired the SNKRX `Heavy sword woosh` pair from the sound packs, then dropped it for the existing slash.) ⛔ **The discipline / shipping gate does NOT apply to 062026** — the user declared it a side project for fun where he indulges however he likes; do NOT flag juice / polish / custom sound / infra as B-work on this project (he'll consciously decide), in contrast to [[feedback_shipping_gate]] which still governs his MAIN game projects. Cleave **crowd-scaling is now in**: each swing = base `CLEAVE_DAMAGE` (3) **+1 per enemy caught** in the square (counted at fire via `query_entities_box`, keeping `area.lua` generic; the +1/enemy is hardcoded, NOT a UI knob, per the user) — the "tighter mob = harder hit" identity, live. **Architecture (owner directive — applies project-wide):** class-specific behavior is structured as explicit `if self.character == '<class>' then … elseif …` chains, NOT a data-driven dispatch (he wants big readable if/elseif chains for the ~55 classes). `player.character = 'swordsman'`; ability input→dispatch lives in `player:update_abilities()` behind that branch, each ability its own method (`player:cleave`, `player:start_dash`/`update_dash`, `player:update_walk` for non-dash movement); **the Cleave was moved out of main.lua into `player:cleave`**; tunables stay `main.lua` globals the player reads (so F1 tunes them); `main.lua` publishes `game_input_blocked` so mouse abilities don't fire through the UI. Apply this pattern wherever behavior diverges by character (player + other systems). Documented — along with the **sound-sourcing process** (learn name from a ref project → glob `E:/sound packs` → ffmpeg q10 .ogg → delete .wav → wire pre-`volumes_apply_overrides` → F3) — in `062026/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. **Mobility · Lunge is in** (Space, in the **movement direction** — `last_move_r`, not the mouse): a **position dash via `math.lerp_dt`** — the owner REVERSED his earlier "absolutely no tween, physics only" call once he learned v1 `dash_strike` lerps, then asked to copy v1 but with a `lerp_dt` not a raw lerp. Copies v1 `dash_strike`: `collider:set_position` teleport-lerps THROUGH enemies, a `physics_raycast` wall clamp stops it, `DASH_DAMAGE` is **0** now (pure-mobility dash, sweep + impact FX skipped; the F1 dmg knob re-enables a damaging dash-strike); **2 charges** (`DASH_MAX_CHARGES` local in player.lua) with a **full 8s refill once BOTH are spent** (recharge starts only at 0); **distance 100**; reuses flicker's now-GLOBAL `trail_update`/`trail_draw` for a yellow wake; `subtle_whoosh` (`RPG3_Generic_SubtleWhoosh02`, q10-sourced) cast sound. F1 tuner is now **2-column** with `dash speed/dist/cd/dmg` knobs. Genuinely next (un-gated): the rest of the kit (Passive/Secondary/Ultimate), gems, player death/fail. Tuning knobs are all-caps globals near the SCENE section. Not in global CLAUDE.md project list yet.

2     snkrx-template / main.lua — clean reference scene.
3   
4     This is your file. It is a complete, minimal scene: a player you can
5     move (WASD / arrows), the five-layer render stack, a camera, physics,
6     the update / draw skeleton, AND the UI render pipeline — all wired
7     and ready, but firing no attacks and drawing no UI widgets. Read it
8     top to bottom; it is the contract you build on.
9   
10    TWO TOOLKITS, ONE REQUIRE.  `require('snkrx')` pulls in BOTH:
11  
12      snkrx/<carrier>.lua     attack toolkit — projectile / area / beam
13                              / flicker / prop, the effect draw-shader
14                              stack, fx, sounds, example entities.
15      snkrx/ui/<module>.lua   UI toolkit — panel / button / slot / bar /
16                              tabs / checkbox / radio / slider /
17                              list_row / card / text_input / modal /
18                              bracket_tag / stat_chip / pips / ...

22    ADDING AN ATTACK.  Every carrier already has its object list and its
23    update / draw loop wired below. To add an attack:
24      1. bind a key in the INPUT section,
25      2. call the carrier's spawn_* helper on that press inside update()
26         — see the ATTACKS comment block there.
27    Nothing else: no new list, no new loop.
28  
29    DRAWING UI.  The UI toolkit is immediate-mode: call widget functions
30    in update() and they queue draws onto `ui_layer`. The render pipeline

13  ## 1. What the game is
14  
15  A **build-heavy action roguelite** in the SNKRX / Risk of Rain lineage. You pick one
16  **class**, pilot it in real time, fight waves, and assemble a synergistic **build** out of
17  **gems** you socket into its abilities. The fantasy is the build-heavy one: a simple
18  starting kit compounds into a screen-clearing power fantasy.
19  
20  - **Control:** active-aim — you aim and trigger abilities yourself (RoR / Hades feel), not
21    an auto-battler.
22  - **Kit:** every class has a fixed kit of **Passive + Primary + Secondary + Mobility +
23    Ultimate** (4 actives + 1 passive).
24  - **Roster:** the ~55 **SNKRX units**, each reimagined as a solo playable class with its own
25    kit and gem progression. Source is `E:/a327ex/SNKRX/` — grep `player.lua` (attack
26    dispatch) and `main.lua` (`character_descriptions` / `character_classes` /
27    `character_effect_names`) for a unit's real mechanic before designing it.
28  - **Progression:** the **Linked Sockets** system (Section 2) — build the class by socketing
29    gems into its abilities.
30  - **Low randomness:** builds are *authored*, not gambled — you choose from the full, known

2     flicker.lua — flicker-strike line/trail carrier (v1 flicker_strike).
3   
4     A self-contained moving entity. NOT the player — the caster only
5     supplies a spawn position, an aim direction, and an edition tint;
6     after that the flicker is autonomous. It hops between enemies along
7     cubic-bezier curves, leaving a fading dashed trail and spawning the
8     full v1 flicker-strike hit FX at each enemy it reaches. Port of v1's
9     flicker_strike (line 4450) — visuals + sounds, no player movement,
10    no modifiers (multistrike / melee_splash / echo are gameplay-side).
11  
12    Lifecycle:
13      1. Find an initial target: closest enemy to the click position
14         (target_x/target_y) within `range` of it — v1 flicker_strike's
15         first jump (closest enemy to the cursor). No target → fizzle.
16      2. Hop to it via a cubic bezier (control points 80% along the
17         entry/exit angles; exit angle pre-bends toward the next target),
18         lerped over `hop_delay`. Departure puff + 2 particles + shake.
19      3. On arrival: per-enemy hit FX (fx_energy_122 burst, hit_circle,
20         4 zag particles) + arrival juice (slash sounds, shake, body
21         flash + spring pulse).
22      4. After `hits` enemies are struck (or targets run out), stop with
23         the final burst (hit_stop, slash_final, AoE knockback, big FX).
24         The trail fades; the entity self-destructs once it's empty.
25  
26    Caller API:
27      spawn_flicker(caster, {
28        target_x,        -- click position; first hop targets the enemy
29        target_y,        --   closest to it. default: main_camera.mouse

2     fx.lua — one-shot visual effects.
3   
4     Two entity types ported from v1's hit_circle / hit_particle. They
5     exist for a brief duration, draw something, and auto-kill. Spawned
6     by gameplay code (projectile spawn, wall hit, area damage in the
7     future) via spawn_hit_circle / spawn_particle. Both live in the
8     global fxs[] array, updated and drawn from main.lua.
9   
10    fx_hit_circle — filled circle that SHRINKS from initial radius to
11      0 over `duration` (cubic_in_out). Starts white (the `text`
12      palette token); the optional :change_color(fraction, target)
13      chainable swaps it to the spell color at the given fraction of
14      duration, giving the v1 "flash white, then bleed into element
15      color" feel.
16  
17    fx_particle — rotated rounded rectangle that flies outward at
18      self.angle, with w/h/velocity tweening down to {2, 2, 0} over
19      `duration` (sine_in_out). Same white-then-color flash via
20      :change_color. Used for cast bursts, wall impact debris, and
21      (future) on-hit particles.
22  
23    Both kinds match v1 visuals byte-for-byte where possible —
24    ability_layer is replaced with the game_layer caller, the object
25    tree is replaced with explicit fxs[] iteration, an.random calls
26    become random_float / random_choice. Otherwise the math, easings,
27    defaults, and feel are unchanged.

18  Status (2026-06-05): **grey-box started.** Forked from `snkrx-template` into `E:/a327ex/062026/` (its own copy of Anchor 2 + the snkrx toolkit; initially `.git` not copied, but a **private GitHub repo `a327ex/062026`** (SSH `origin`, created 2026-06-05) now version-controls it — commit/push there going forward; the end-session skill's project-repo step applies). The build lives in `062026/main.lua` (started from the clean reference scene). First playable: moving player (WASD/arrows + mouse-aim, already in the template), a **trickle of seekers from the right** edge toward the player (cap 12, one per 0.6s, 4 seeded), 4 boundary walls, and the **Swordsman Cleave** on LMB — a **square** AoE (`area` carrier, `shape='rect'`) popped just ahead of the aim (placeholder dmg 8 / cd 0.35s / half-side 18). Decisions this session: cleave = SNKRX-style **square** (not wedge/circle); enemies enter **from the right**; the swordsman is **yellow** (SNKRX-canon). Since then: cleave tuned to size/reach 32 (a 64px square) + cd 1 + **hold-LMB-to-repeat**; an **F1 live knob-tuner** panel (built from the snkrx UI toolkit) over the cleave/spawn constants; and a **swing sound** on the cleave — the template's existing `sword_slash` v3 (`Sword_Slash_1_v3.ogg`) at ±10% pitch, F3-tunable under the `sword_slash` volume key. (Briefly wired the SNKRX `Heavy sword woosh` pair from the sound packs, then dropped it for the existing slash.) ⛔ **The discipline / shipping gate does NOT apply to 062026** — the user declared it a side project for fun where he indulges however he likes; do NOT flag juice / polish / custom sound / infra as B-work on this project (he'll consciously decide), in contrast to [[feedback_shipping_gate]] which still governs his MAIN game projects. Cleave **crowd-scaling is now in**: each swing = base `CLEAVE_DAMAGE` (3) **+1 per enemy caught** in the square (counted at fire via `query_entities_box`, keeping `area.lua` generic; the +1/enemy is hardcoded, NOT a UI knob, per the user) — the "tighter mob = harder hit" identity, live. **Architecture (owner directive — applies project-wide):** class-specific behavior is structured as explicit `if self.character == '<class>' then … elseif …` chains, NOT a data-driven dispatch (he wants big readable if/elseif chains for the ~55 classes). `player.character = 'swordsman'`; ability input→dispatch lives in `player:update_abilities()` behind that branch, each ability its own method (`player:cleave`, `player:start_dash`/`update_dash`, `player:update_walk` for non-dash movement); **the Cleave was moved out of main.lua into `player:cleave`**; tunables stay `main.lua` globals the player reads (so F1 tunes them); `main.lua` publishes `game_input_blocked` so mouse abilities don't fire through the UI. Apply this pattern wherever behavior diverges by character (player + other systems). Documented — along with the **sound-sourcing process** (learn name from a ref project → glob `E:/sound packs` → ffmpeg q10 .ogg → delete .wav → wire pre-`volumes_apply_overrides` → F3) — in `062026/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. **Mobility · Lunge is in** (Space, in the **movement direction** — `last_move_r`, not the mouse): a **position dash via `math.lerp_dt`** — the owner REVERSED his earlier "absolutely no tween, physics only" call once he learned v1 `dash_strike` lerps, then asked to copy v1 but with a `lerp_dt` not a raw lerp. Copies v1 `dash_strike`: `collider:set_position` teleport-lerps THROUGH enemies, a `physics_raycast` wall clamp stops it, `DASH_DAMAGE` is **0** now (pure-mobility dash, sweep + impact FX skipped; the F1 dmg knob re-enables a damaging dash-strike); **2 charges** (`DASH_MAX_CHARGES` local in player.lua) with a **full 8s refill once BOTH are spent** (recharge starts only at 0); **distance 100**; reuses flicker's now-GLOBAL `trail_update`/`trail_draw` for a yellow wake; `subtle_whoosh` (`RPG3_Generic_SubtleWhoosh02`, q10-sourced) cast sound. F1 tuner is now **2-column** with `dash speed/dist/cd/dmg` knobs. Genuinely next (un-gated): the rest of the kit (Passive/Secondary/Ultimate), gems, player death/fail. Tuning knobs are all-caps globals near the SCENE section. Not in global CLAUDE.md project list yet.

155  Two reference units. Numbers/effects are illustrative — the point is the *shape*.
156 
157 ### 5.1 Swordsman — "The Cleaver" (multi-carrier, melee)
158 
159 Carriers: AoE **Cleave** (crowd) + single-target **Flurry** (via Cross Guard). Multi-carrier →
160 per-ability gems, modal builds.
161 
162 **Kit**
163 - **Passive · Outnumbered** — crowd = more damage *and* less damage taken when surrounded.
164 - **Primary · Cleave** — wide crowd-scaling melee arc (big-hit carrier).
165 - **Secondary · Cross Guard** — hold to block (all sides, damage reduced); each blocked hit =
166   +1 stack (capped); release = an N-hit Flurry on the nearest enemy. Flurry scales on
167   hit-count, not crowd.
168 - **Mobility · Lunge** — dash that damages along its path.
169 - **Ultimate · Bladestorm** — a spin of many small hits (the multi-hit ult).
170 
171 **Archetypes:** Heavy (big hits) · Flurry (small hits) · Bulwark (defense) · Maelstrom (crowd).

18   Status (2026-06-05): **grey-box started.** Forked from `snkrx-template` into `E:/a327ex/062026/` (its own copy of Anchor 2 + the snkrx toolkit; initially `.git` not copied, but a **private GitHub repo `a327ex/062026`** (SSH `origin`, created 2026-06-05) now version-controls it — commit/push there going forward; the end-session skill's project-repo step applies). The build lives in `062026/main.lua` (started from the clean reference scene). First playable: moving player (WASD/arrows + mouse-aim, already in the template), a **trickle of seekers from the right** edge toward the player (cap 12, one per 0.6s, 4 seeded), 4 boundary walls, and the **Swordsman Cleave** on LMB — a **square** AoE (`area` carrier, `shape='rect'`) popped just ahead of the aim (placeholder dmg 8 / cd 0.35s / half-side 18). Decisions this session: cleave = SNKRX-style **square** (not wedge/circle); enemies enter **from the right**; the swordsman is **yellow** (SNKRX-canon). Since then: cleave tuned to size/reach 32 (a 64px square) + cd 1 + **hold-LMB-to-repeat**; an **F1 live knob-tuner** panel (built from the snkrx UI toolkit) over the cleave/spawn constants; and a **swing sound** on the cleave — the template's existing `sword_slash` v3 (`Sword_Slash_1_v3.ogg`) at ±10% pitch, F3-tunable under the `sword_slash` volume key. (Briefly wired the SNKRX `Heavy sword woosh` pair from the sound packs, then dropped it for the existing slash.) ⛔ **The discipline / shipping gate does NOT apply to 062026** — the user declared it a side project for fun where he indulges however he likes; do NOT flag juice / polish / custom sound / infra as B-work on this project (he'll consciously decide), in contrast to [[feedback_shipping_gate]] which still governs his MAIN game projects. Cleave **crowd-scaling is now in**: each swing = base `CLEAVE_DAMAGE` (3) **+1 per enemy caught** in the square (counted at fire via `query_entities_box`, keeping `area.lua` generic; the +1/enemy is hardcoded, NOT a UI knob, per the user) — the "tighter mob = harder hit" identity, live. **Architecture (owner directive — applies project-wide):** class-specific behavior is structured as explicit `if self.character == '<class>' then … elseif …` chains, NOT a data-driven dispatch (he wants big readable if/elseif chains for the ~55 classes). `player.character = 'swordsman'`; ability input→dispatch lives in `player:update_abilities()` behind that branch, each ability its own method (`player:cleave`, `player:start_dash`/`update_dash`, `player:update_walk` for non-dash movement); **the Cleave was moved out of main.lua into `player:cleave`**; tunables stay `main.lua` globals the player reads (so F1 tunes them); `main.lua` publishes `game_input_blocked` so mouse abilities don't fire through the UI. Apply this pattern wherever behavior diverges by character (player + other systems). Documented — along with the **sound-sourcing process** (learn name from a ref project → glob `E:/sound packs` → ffmpeg q10 .ogg → delete .wav → wire pre-`volumes_apply_overrides` → F3) — in `062026/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. **Mobility · Lunge is in** (Space, in the **movement direction** — `last_move_r`, not the mouse): a **position dash via `math.lerp_dt`** — the owner REVERSED his earlier "absolutely no tween, physics only" call once he learned v1 `dash_strike` lerps, then asked to copy v1 but with a `lerp_dt` not a raw lerp. Copies v1 `dash_strike`: `collider:set_position` teleport-lerps THROUGH enemies, a `physics_raycast` wall clamp stops it, `DASH_DAMAGE` is **0** now (pure-mobility dash, sweep + impact FX skipped; the F1 dmg knob re-enables a damaging dash-strike); **2 charges** (`DASH_MAX_CHARGES` local in player.lua) with a **full 8s refill once BOTH are spent** (recharge starts only at 0); **distance 100**; reuses flicker's now-GLOBAL `trail_update`/`trail_draw` for a yellow wake; `subtle_whoosh` (`RPG3_Generic_SubtleWhoosh02`, q10-sourced) cast sound. F1 tuner is now **2-column**. **Secondary · Cross Guard is DONE** (hold RMB / `mouse:2`): a **hold-to-charge guard stance** — movement slows (`GUARD_SLOW` 0.25), a **looping charge sound** plays, white **yellow→pure_white inward streaks** converge on a **wobbling white charge circle in front of the player**, and a **charge bar over the head** fills. Charge is **hit-driven**: each hit taken while guarding banks a stack (`player:hit` hook; capped `GUARD_MAX_STACKS` 8) and is softened by a flat-integer `GUARD_DR` (seekers do 1 contact dmg, so DR must be flat-int not %); the bar **flashes white on each hit** and its fill tweens light_blue→white. **Release = a NEW bespoke attack, `snkrx/flurry.lua` (NOT flicker — the owner explicitly rejected reusing flicker/bezier-hops):** grab enemies within `FLURRY_RADIUS` (80) of the player, build a **batched-random order** (each full pass hits every area-enemy once in random order; final partial pass a random subset → enemies hit ~equally), and apply **direct single-target hits in sequence** (one per 0.05s), `hits = guard_stacks*2` (full bar = **16**), reusing flicker's **per-hit FX + slash sounds** only. A no-target / 0-stack release does **nothing** (no whiff sound, no cd — owner's call). Charge visuals: **circle + particles draw on the EFFECTS layer** (above everything) via `player:draw_charge_circle(effects_layer)` called from main.lua's effects pass; circle radius `2→5` (×`ct`) + ±0.5 jitter; **particles (`fx_charge_particle` in fx.lua) follow the player's relative frame** (converge on `player.charge_cx/cy`, recomputed each frame, so they track the moving player), color whitens on a **manual ramp** (`mix_t = elapsed/white_at`, `white_at = dur*0.3`, then `color_mix(yellow, pure_white, mix_t)`) SEPARATE from the position `timer_tween` so white lands early, and their **reach/length/speed scale with charge** (`scale = remap(ct,0,1,0.25,1)`; speed scales because duration is fixed). Charge **bar drawn exactly like the enemy `draw_health_ui`** (width `self.w`, `y - h - 2`, radius 1) but blue→white + hit-flash. Two **looping charge sounds** sourced (q10 ogg): `charge_light` = `RPG3_LightMagic_ChargingLoop` (v1's railgun charge, vol 0.47), `charge_subtle` = `Subtle_Magic_Loop`; an **F1 `charge snd` toggle** (`GUARD_SOUND_ALT`) switches them. **KEY ENGINE FINDING:** Anchor 2 DOES have **looping, stoppable, retunable sfx** — `sound_play_handle` / `sound_handle_set_looping` / `sound_handle_set_pitch/volume` / `sound_handle_stop` (registered in anchor.c ~9563-9567; NOT in ENGINE_API_QUICK.md, which only lists one-shot `sound_play`). A `sfx_loop()` helper in main.lua wraps it (mirrors `sfx()` DSP lookup). Also: the **`white` palette token is `color(200,200,200)` (grey)** — added **`pure_white = color(255,255,255)`** to palette.lua for FX flashes. F1 tuner: **cleave + dash knobs REMOVED** (still globals, just not live-tuned); now `guard stacks/flurry dmg/flurry rad/guard slow/guard dr/circle dist` + the `charge snd` toggle + seeker knobs. Genuinely next (un-gated): **Passive · Outnumbered** (crowd = +dmg & −dmg-taken when surrounded), **Ultimate · Bladestorm** (spin of many small hits), gems / Linked Sockets, and a **player death / fail state** (`player:hit` still just clamps HP to 0). Tuning knobs are all-caps globals near the SCENE section. Not in global CLAUDE.md project list yet.
