User has answered your questions: "What does 'automatically start as it did before' mean? The game currently starts unpaused. Is something specific not working — e.g. AI not firing, balls not moving, a missing countdown, or something else?"="Balls not moving". You can now continue with the user's answers in mind.

   474→       Problem: Constant high-speed action becomes monotonous and hard to follow.
   475→       Solution: Track consecutive high-speed hits. As count increases, probability of
   476→       bypassing grows (S-curve, guaranteed at 9 hits). When bypass triggers, balls
   477→       lose 30% energy, creating calm moments. Counter resets after bypass.

   479→    3. LOW HORIZONTAL VELOCITY PREVENTION (prevents stalling) - ball-ball collisions
   480→       Problem: Balls can end up with low horizontal velocity, bouncing mostly vertically,
   481→       making collisions rare and gameplay stall.
   482→       Solution: Track consecutive low-horizontal collisions.
   483→       Probability of intervention increases linearly (guaranteed at 4 hits).
   484→       When intervention triggers, both balls get random horizontal impulse (100-200).

   486→    4. WALL FALLBACK (prevents stalling) - ball-wall collisions
   487→       Problem: System energy can drop too low even with other systems in place.
   488→       Solution: Track system_energy (sum of both ball speeds) on ball-ball collisions.
   489→       On ball-wall collisions, probabilistically apply energy boost.
   490→       - Probability (quad_out): 100% at energy ≤100, drops fast to 0% at energy ≥600
   491→       - Boost value (sine_out): max at energy ≤250, drops to 1.0 at energy ≥400
   492→
   493→    5. STUCK BALL DETECTION (prevents floor sliding) - implemented in ball class
   494→       Problem: A ball can lose vertical velocity and slide along a wall indefinitely.
   495→       Solution: Each ball tracks how long its vertical velocity stays very low (|vy| < 5)
   496→       while still having horizontal movement (|vx| > 5). If this persists for >0.5 seconds,
   497→       apply impulse to unstick it.

   467→       Solution: At higher speeds, redistribute energy between balls favoring equal splits.

User has answered your questions: "The arena is a 200x200 box with gravity and bouncy walls. Some PoE shapes (ground-targeted circles, long-range beams, etc.) don't map directly. Should I think about shapes strictly in terms of what's physically meaningful in this arena, or explore more abstractly and we'll figure out the mapping later?"="Arena-grounded", "Currently dagger uses pure rotation, while gun/bow/sword all use the raycast-alignment mechanic (fire when pointing at enemy). Should I treat alignment as a universal mechanic most weapons use, or should some weapons deliberately break from it (e.g. fire in all directions, fire on a timer regardless of aim, fire based on position rather than angle)?"="Explore alternatives", "What format would be most useful for the exploration? A systematic matrix (shape × type grid), a narrative exploration that builds up the vocabulary then combines, or something else?"="Build vocabulary first". You can now continue with the user's answers in mind.

   241→### E. Hybrid / Unusual Combinations
   242→
   243→**Rotation + Periodic Burst + Rotation-Completion = Spin-and-Fling**
   244→Weapon rotates continuously like dagger (contact damage), but every N rotations it RELEASES projectiles tangentially. Like a sprinkler that flings droplets as it spins. Scaling: more projectiles per fling, or more frequent flings. Combines melee presence with projectile escalation. Visually: a spinning weapon periodically scattering projectiles outward.
   245→
   246→**Charge + Ring + Accumulation = Pulse Bomb**
   247→Each HIT on the enemy builds a visible charge. At threshold, releases an expanding damage ring. Scaling: lower threshold (more frequent pulses) or bigger rings. Creates a "building toward something" tension, then a dramatic release. The ring is a distinctive visual punctuation mark.
   248→
   249→**Tether + Triggered + Alignment = Chain Weapon**
   250→Fire a projectile that attaches to the enemy via a chain/rope. While tethered, the chain itself deals damage — anything crossing the line between the two balls takes damage. Scaling: more simultaneous tethers (multiple chains criss-crossing the arena). Visually: lines connecting the balls that other projectiles/effects interact with.
   251→
   252→**Projectile + Zone-on-Impact + Gravity-Arc = Carpet Bomber**
   253→Fire arc projectiles that create small damage zones where they land. Scaling: more projectiles per volley, zones last longer. The arena floor gradually gets covered in overlapping impact zones. Combines the visual of arcing trajectories (air) with persistent zones (ground).
   254→
   255→**Line + Reactive + On-Wall = Wall Beam**
   256→When the ball is touching or near a wall, fire a beam along the wall surface (horizontal or vertical line hugging the wall). Since balls frequently hit walls, this fires often. Scaling: beam gets longer or wider. Creates lines of damage along arena edges — a very different visual from center-of-arena attacks.
   257→
   258→**Returning + Orbital + Triggered = Yo-Yo**
   259→Projectile goes out, then instead of returning directly, orbits the ball once or twice before being "caught" and becoming ready to throw again. Creates a rhythm: throw → orbit → catch → throw. Scaling: more simultaneous yo-yos, or more orbits before catch. The orbiting phase provides melee-like area denial while the throw provides ranged reach.
   260→
   261→### F. Trigger-Interesting Designs
   262→
   263→**Proximity-Triggered Mode Switch**
   264→Weapon behaves differently based on distance to enemy. Close: continuous rotation damage (dagger-like). Far: fires projectiles (gun-like). Scaling: both modes get more intense. Creates a weapon with two visual identities depending on the state of the fight.
   265→
   266→**Speed-Triggered Burst**
   267→When ball exceeds a speed threshold (from a hard bounce), fires a burst of projectiles in the movement direction. Faster ball = more projectiles in the burst. The weapon converts kinetic energy into attacks. Scaling: lower speed threshold (fires more often) or more projectiles per burst. Ties weapon activity directly to the kinetic energy of the fight.

   381→### D. Placed / Persistent Effects
   382→
   383→**🖌️ Paintbrush — Wall-Impact Zones**
   384→*Zone + Reactive + Wall-Contact*
   385→Each time the ball hits a wall, a paint splat appears at the impact point — a small circular damage zone. Scaling: +zone duration per hit (splats last longer, more accumulate). Visually: the arena borders gradually fill with colorful overlapping paint splats. Over time the walls become "painted" with danger zones. Unique because it weaponizes the ball's bouncing itself — more energetic bouncing means more paint on the walls. Strong visual identity: the arena literally gets more colorful as the fight progresses.
   386→
   387→**✏️ Pencil — Movement Trail**
   388→*Trail + Continuous + Movement*
   389→Already in the todo. The ball's trajectory becomes a damaging line. Scaling: +trail duration per hit. Visually: the arena fills with the ball's drawn path, creating complex geometric patterns from bouncing.
   390→
   391→**🪤 Mouse Trap — Minefield**
   392→*Trap + Periodic + Timer*
   393→Periodically drops a trap at the ball's current position. Traps arm after a short delay (visual: trap opens), then snap when the enemy ball passes over them. Scaling: +trap active count per hit (shorter cooldown, more traps coexist). Visually: the arena floor fills with tiny open traps that SNAP shut with a satisfying visual when triggered. The accumulation of dormant traps across the arena is the visual escalation — you can see the minefield growing.
   394→
   395→**⛏️ Pickaxe — Wall Surge**
   396→*Wall Effect + Reactive + Wall-Contact*
   397→When the ball hits a wall, the pickaxe strike sends a shockwave racing along the wall surface in both directions from the impact point. The surge damages anything it passes (including the enemy ball if it's near that wall). Scaling: +surge travel distance per hit (starts short, eventually races along the full wall length and around corners). Visually: bright streaks racing along the arena borders, like cracks of energy through stone. Uses the arena geometry itself as the attack's shape — totally unique to a bouncy-box game.

   401→**🪅 Piñata — Spin-and-Fling**
   402→*Rotation + Periodic Burst + Rotation-Completion*
   403→Rotates continuously like a dagger (contact damage from the piñata itself), but every N rotations it bursts, scattering candy/confetti projectiles in all directions tangentially. Then it "reforms" and keeps spinning. Scaling: +candy per burst per hit. Visually: a spinning piñata that periodically EXPLODES with colorful projectiles scattering outward, then reconstitutes. Combines melee rotation presence with periodic ranged bursts. The cheerful chaos of candy flying everywhere is a strong visual identity.

   405→**🔔 Bell — Resonance Pulse**
   406→*Charge + Ring + Accumulation*
   407→Already in the todo as resonance stacks, but the SHAPE of the payoff should be an expanding ring rather than flat damage. Each hit on the enemy builds visible resonance (the bell glows brighter, vibrates more). At threshold: a large expanding ring shockwave. Scaling: +ring size per hit, or lower threshold (more frequent rings). Visually: the buildup of glowing/vibrating energy, then a dramatic ring burst — a visual exclamation mark.

     3→*Items ordered by priority (highest first)*
     4→
     5→This file tracks ideas and future tasks, not active implementation work. Each item should be a self-contained task starting with "- ". Subsections are allowed (indented "- ") but prefer flat, independent tasks over nested structures. The user periodically reorders items so higher priority tasks float to the top. When implementing features, use separate implementation plans rather than this file.

     9→## Weapon Design
    10→
    11→Weapon designs have been moved to `reference/attack-design-space.md`, which contains the shape/behavior/scaling framework and both old and new weapon concepts.

    15→## Other Systems
    16→
    17→- UI effect anti-overlap system: tag all floating UI effects (status_text, emoji_text, damage numbers) as spatial UI elements with a bounding box
    18→- UI effect anti-overlap system: when spawning a new UI element, query all active UI elements for their current bounding boxes and projected positions
    19→- UI effect anti-overlap system: find the closest unoccupied position to the desired spawn point that doesn't visually collide with existing UI elements
    20→- UI effect anti-overlap system: account for movement direction/velocity of existing elements (e.g., emoji_text floats upward) when checking for collisions
    21→
    22→## Classes (post-weapons)
    23→
    24→- Fencer class:
    25→  - PASSIVE gains fencing stacks per parry (+1 damage per stack, low duration)
    26→  - ACTIVE triggers lunge attack (like Earclacks' Lance) at X fencing stacks.
    27→  - Synergizes with duration items - even small duration boosts compound into much higher damage.
    28→- Spellblade class:
    29→  - PASSIVE: swaps weapons periodically between dagger and staff/wand
    30→  - Dagger deals physical damage, all physical damage applies Ethereal stacks but deals 0 damage. First magical damage with wand pops ethereal stacks and makes target ethereal for [stacks] seconds.
