10  Mini Looper (`E:/a327ex/mini-looper/`, forked from snkrx-template) is an active game: an on-rails SNKRX-style **train/snake** runs a fixed **loop** defending a central **base**; enemies march in from all edges, train units auto-attack and the body **rams**. A beat-based director scales pressure. It is NOT in the global CLAUDE.md project list yet, and its `.claude/CLAUDE.md` is still the snkrx-template's — the game lives in root `*.lua` (main, loop, train, units, enemy, building, wave, grid, builds, info_text).
11  
12  **⚠️ 2026-06-04 PIVOT (supersedes the RTS direction below — that text is now HISTORY).** After building part of the RTS loop-economy (resource/economy/extractor/building_ui), the user decided — a **reward-function** call, not a fun verdict — that he doesn't want to *make* a resource-management RTS. DROPPED. New direction: a **draft / card-deploy** version, back in proven SNKRX waters (arrange a build, watch it fight). **Core kept unchanged:** edge-spawn enemies marching INWARD to the central Core (objective; lose when it dies), single train looping the fixed loop auto-attacking + ramming, beat director (wave.lua) for pressure (turn director_enabled back ON). **New:** a card/mana system REPLACES the wood economy as progression — cards = units + modifiers with mana costs; fixed mana ramp per wave (3→4→5…); deploy from a hand BETWEEN waves to grow a minimally-started train. NO pre-run draft for the first slice (big pool + draft-choice = production/replayability, not the gate); the user does want a few NEW varied modifier/effect cards (roster is mostly units). This slice IS the third fun-measurement: "is building the train with ramping mana vs rising pressure fun?" Grey-box, 3 sittings, read the third, kill-criterion stated up front. Decided across the [[Mini Looper Ideaguying]] session, grounded in [[feedback_shipping_gate]] + the Gamedev Progress Assessment (cheap measurement, don't build systems to reach the test).
13  
14  As of 2026-06-02 the **ramming endgame build** is built and **fun-verified** (the build-heavy "End" fun-gate passed — see [[feedback_shipping_gate]]; this was correct A-work, testing fun, not B). It's a hardcoded fake build in `builds.lua` (`setup_ramming_build`): Juggernaut head + variable-size inert white blocks (count-scales contact dmg/speed) + Swordsman (cleave) / Earthshaker (Fissure + Looping Fissure unlock) / Detonator (Cascade) / Poisoner (Virulence) + 2 old ranged units (archer, cannoneer). The F1 panel toggles the ramming modifiers; `b` bursts a test crowd. Each unit's special "unlock" is a hardcoded global flag (`*_unlocked`), on by default.
15  
16  **Production direction (decided in the 2026-06-03 strategy meeting — see [[feedback_shipping_gate]]).** Both build-heavy fun-gates have now passed (*beginning* = movement, *end* = ramming build), so the project enters production via the **constraint**. Key decisions:
17  - **Constraint = an RTS loop-economy, NOT a pre-run draft.** Resource-extraction buildings are placed *inside the loop* near map resource nodes; they pay out **per completed lap**, so **speed is the currency** (the satisfying play and the optimal play align — the reason this beat a draft). A **deterministic (non-random) tech tree** gates unit/capability unlocks; enemy difficulty is stepped to the gates. Player commits to one line per run (resource-scarce).
18  - **Replayability via map variance**, not draft randomness: the loop shape + resource-node positions are generated per run, so which tech lines are viable shifts run-to-run while the tree stays deterministic. Chosen over pure-determinism (solved-game risk), run-modifiers, and randomized unlock offers.
19  - **Chose Option A** (build the *whole game* with a reduced unit set → first complete end-to-end run, never reached before) over building more endgame archetypes. The other 3 archetypes (projectile/construct/mage) are deferred content, NOT a fun-gate — one proven archetype (ramming) is enough.
20  - **Sequencing (defers the historically-dangerous procedural-loop work behind the cheap fun-gate):**
21    - **Slice v0** = economy on the EXISTING fixed `loop.lua` (no generator). One resource, shallow tree (2–3 tiers), 3–4 units, enemy scaling keyed to gates, win/lose. This IS the **third fun-measurement**: is managing the loop + tech line vs. rising pressure fun? Read its verdict as "are the verbs (build/gate/defend/speed-up) satisfying," not "would I play 20h" (variance is omitted in v0, so it can feel solved early).
22    - **Slice v1** = add map variance via a **dead-simple perturbed-loop generator** (randomize `loop.lua`'s per-point radius multipliers + scatter nodes). ⛔ This is NOT the genesis road/piece/turtle-editor system — that infra ate the 2026-05-27 session and was thrown away; rebuilding any piece-kit / closure-search / authoring tool is the named relapse alarm.
23    - **Then** content (more units/lines) → juice → web build → itch page.
24  - Scope tripwire: keep the first economy a **toy**. The `ideas.md` "RTS direction… ideally hundreds of units / standard tech tree" is the scope bomb — stays parked until the economy's fun is proven.
25  
26  **Next session (draft/card-deploy slice — see the 2026-06-04 PIVOT note above):** ONE STEP AT A TIME, design-brief before code. (1) Remove the dropped RTS economy — wood resource + per-lap income (economy.lua), resource nodes (resource.lua), the extractor + its placement, the wood/extractor UI, and the Core's extractor buy-menu (building_ui.lua placement flow + main.lua Core `menu`); KEEP the generic click→panel selection UI; assess grid.lua/buildable-cells (existed only for placement). (2) Turn the director on + strip the train to a minimal start. (3) Build the card/mana data model + per-wave mana ramp + between-wave deploy. (4) Wrap existing units as cards + add a few NEW varied modifier cards. (5) Minimal grey-box deploy UI. (6) Win (survive to beat N) / lose (Core dies). (7) Play, read the third sitting.
27  
28  Carry-over (lower priority): **Psylooper dropped** (too complex, doesn't fit the archetype); the 3 "spice" modifiers (enter/exit aura, proximity-all-damage, crush-on-kill) unimplemented; high-beat test harness still just the `b` burst key. Method that worked well: port real mechanics from SNKRX source (`E:/a327ex/SNKRX/`) and Invoker-old, one unit per increment, design-brief-then-code each time.

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 / ...
19  
20    Both are plain, readable Lua, not opaque modules — open the files.
21  
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.

2     enemy.lua — mini-looper enemy: spawns off-screen, marches to the loop
3     center, reacts to train-unit contact.
4   
5     Structurally a retarget of snkrx/seeker.lua. Same dynamic box collider,
6     same push / hit / die / spawn FX / floating HP bar (it reuses the global
7     should_show_health_ui / draw_health_ui defined in seeker.lua). The ONE
8     behavioral change is steering: it seeks (loop_cx, loop_cy) — the loop
9     center — instead of the player, which mini-looper doesn't have. There is
10    no arrival handling yet: an enemy that reaches the center just clumps
11    there (separation keeps the blob from fully overlapping). The base /
12    lose-condition is a later step.
13  
14    The seeker's `wall_bump` streak machinery is dropped — mini-looper has no
15    wall colliders.
16  
17    Manual spawning (this step): main.lua binds a key and calls
18    spawn_enemy_at_edge() on the press. spawn_enemy(x, y, args) builds the
19    entity and registers it in enemies[] so main.lua's prune loop updates +
20    draws it and steering_separate has a list to walk.
21  
22    Train ram: the train↔enemy contact (handled in main.lua) calls :hit +
23    :push; the train itself is driven kinematically and plows through
24    unaffected.

2     train.lua — the on-rails SNKRX train (mini-looper).
3   
4     The HEAD (unit 1) is a dynamic body driven kinematically: each frame it
5     eases a HEADING (self.move_r) toward the next waypoint and sets its
6     velocity at that heading (scaled down by train_corner_slow in sharp
7     turns). It walks the loop and lays a breadcrumb trail.
8   
9     FOLLOWERS (units 2..n) are pinned each frame to the head's trail,
10    (index-1)*spacing back, so they trace the head's exact path (classic SNKRX
11    snake). No physics chain.
12  
13    Turning auto-scales with speed (train_apply_speed_coupling): as
14    train_max_speed rises, train_turn_t (heading-ease time) shrinks and
15    train_corner_slow grows, so a faster train still tracks the loop and brakes
16    harder into corners. Anchors: 100 -> (t 0.30, corner 0.40); 200 -> (t 0.15,
17    corner 0.75); linear + clamped.
18  
19    Live knobs (tuning UI in main.lua): train_max_speed, train_seek_distance,
20    train_spacing. train_turn_t / train_corner_slow are derived from speed;
21    train_turn_p is a fixed companion to the ease.
22  
23    Each unit also auto-attacks: it carries a self.character and calls
24    unit_attack_update (units.lua) every frame to fire its carrier at the
25    nearest enemy in range. Movement and combat are independent.

2     units.lua — the shared unit auto-attack scaffold + the per-character
3     attack registry (mini-looper).
4   
5     Every train unit is an auto-attacker: on a cooldown it finds the nearest
6     enemy in range and fires a carrier at it. The shared machinery (target
7     acquisition, cooldown tick, fire) lives here; each character is ONE entry
8     in unit_defs. Adding a unit = add a registry entry — no new plumbing,
9     since the carrier update / draw / damage loops already live in main.lua.
10  
11    train_unit (train.lua) owns self.character + self.attack_cooldown, takes
12    its color (self.spec) from its def, and calls unit_attack_update(self, dt)
13    each frame.
14  
15    Desync: cooldowns are seeded with a random phase AND jittered on every
16    reset (cooldown_jitter), and an idle unit (no target in range) re-arms
17    after a small random delay — so a cluster of units never fires on the
18    same frame. Without this they collapse to "ready" while idle and volley
19    in lockstep the instant enemies arrive.

2     wave.lua — discrete clear-to-advance wave director (mini-looper).
3   
4     The run is a sequence of WAVES. Each wave trickles a scaled batch of enemies in
5     from side-biased map edges; the train must clear them ALL. When the batch is
6     fully spawned AND every enemy is dead, the director STOPS and waits in an
7     INTERMISSION — the player clicks the START button (snkrx ui_button, drawn by
8     director_intermission_ui) to begin the next wave. Clearing the final wave
9     (wave_count_max) -> WIN (game_won). The intermission is where the card/mana

3   
4     Shows the player's hand of cards during the wave INTERMISSION (the same gate as
5     the START button): a 3-column PANEL of inventory slots, anchored BOTTOM-RIGHT
6     just above the START button and GROWING UPWARD as the hand holds more cards (the
7     panel's bottom edge stays put; it extends up, capped at MAX_ROWS rows). Built on
8     the snkrx UI toolkit (ui_panel + ui_slot) using the occupied-slot idiom: each
9     card passes an `icon` to ui_slot so the colored tile FILLS the slot (the dark
10    empty-slot fill only shows for an empty slot), exactly like the gallery
11    inventory grid. A 3x3 grid of mana-cost pips (2px dots, up to 9) rides the
12    top-right corner of each card — no chip behind them; the pip color flips
13    light/dark by the tile's luminance so it pops against any card color. The SNKRX
14    shop-dot idiom, replacing a number (there's no room for one).
15  
16    This pass is UI ONLY — the hand is placeholder content and clicking a slot does

2     info_text.lua — floating effect-text (damage-number style), ported from Invoker.
3   
4     Spawned by gameplay events to announce something in-world. In mini-looper it's used
5     by the Juggernaut's Charge ("Charge" on a FRESH charge — see units.lua unit_on_ram),
6     but the object is generic (any text + color), so future uses — damage numbers,
7     "No Mana", status applications — drop in the same way.
8   
9     Behavior:
10      - Spawns at a world position, anchored there (doesn't follow its spawner — it floats
11        like a damage number, not a tooltip stuck to a unit).
12      - Floats up INFO_TEXT_RISE px over INFO_TEXT_DURATION, holding full alpha for the
13        first FADE_HOLD fraction then fading linearly to 0.
14      - Dark semi-transparent bg rect behind the text; text in the given effect color.
15      - Drawn world-space (camera-attached) on the effects layer; the draws are bracketed
16        flat (effect color='none') so the colors pass straight through the effect shader.
17  
18    State is the module-level info_texts array. Ported from Invoker-old/info_text.lua; the
19    one change is ui_text -> raw layer_text (top-left, manual centering) + the flat bracket.

19  ## Working Style
20  
21  ### When to Ask
22  
23  Use the `AskUserQuestion` tool liberally. The developer prefers being asked over having Claude guess wrong.
24  
25  **Ask first:**
26  - Architecture decisions
27  - API design choices
28  - Design decisions (gameplay feel, mechanics, UI)
29  - Anything that could be done multiple valid ways
30  - When uncertain about intent or priorities
31  - When you have multiple questions (batch them into one AskUserQuestion call)
32  
33  **Proceed, then explain:**
34  - Implementation details where the path is clear
35  - Performance optimization (get it working first, optimize later)
36  
37  ### Pacing
38  
39  - Work incrementally — complete one piece, let them test, get feedback
40  - After completing a task, give the user a turn before starting the next
41  - Don't chain tasks or build large systems autonomously
42  
43  ### Communication
44  

1048 - **⛔ DESIGN BRIEF before code.** See the workflow rule at the top of
1049      this file. No `Write` / `Edit` on project code without first posting
1050      a conceptual design brief (approach + interfaces + per-function
1051      notes), iterating it with the user, and reaching a conclusion.
1052      Trivial changes skip the brief.
1053    - **One change at a time.** The user tests between each step.
1054    - **Don't run `./run.bat`** — user runs.
1055    - **Syntax-check Lua changes** with `lua54.exe -e "loadfile(...)"`.
1056    - **AskUserQuestion for design decisions** (carrier shape, parameter ranges, key bindings, sound placement).
1057    - **Code style:** operator spacing `*` `/` no spaces, `+` `-` with spaces. See `E:/a327ex/.claude/CLAUDE.md` for project-wide rules.
1058    - **Keep the docs in sync.** If you change behavior, update the relevant top-of-file docblock + this CLAUDE.md.
1059    - **The effect inspector (F5) is the place to explore patterns / colors /
1060      dithers / shapes** — click a sample shape, edit its spec. To try an
1061      effect on a real entity instead, set its `.spec` (or pass `spec` to a

4     Scope of this first pass (per session 2 decisions):
5       • Default rounded-rect shape (w=10, h=4). No shape variants yet
6         (ball_lightning circle, wind_slash blades, arc crescent come later).
7       • Straight-line travel only. No homing / linear-return / arc-return.
8       • Sensor box collider — projectiles pass through enemies/walls
9         visually. Enemy hits are surfaced via sensor_entities_begin in
10        main.lua. Walls are caught by a per-frame forward raycast (sensors
11        don't physically collide).
12      • Spawn juice: spring pull on 'main' + 0.2s white flash.
13      • Wall hit:  6r/0.15s hit_circle + 2 particles, then die.
14      • Enemy hit: full damage + hit_effect sprite burst, then die. No
15        pierce/chain in this first pass — that's gameplay-side anyway.
16      • Death:     8r/0.2s hit_circle + 2 particles, particle color =
17                   spec_color(self.spec).
