Implement four feature phases:
Phase 1 - Pause menu: extract bitmap font into shared engine/font
module, add MODE_PAUSED with Resume/Restart/Quit overlay.
Phase 2 - Laser turret hazard: ENT_LASER_TURRET with charge/fire/
cooldown state machine, per-pixel beam raycast, two variants (fixed
and tracking). Registered in entity registry with editor icons.
Phase 3 - Charger and Spawner enemies: charger ground patrol with
detect/telegraph/charge/stun cycle (2s charge timeout), spawner that
periodically creates grunts up to a global cap of 3.
Phase 4 - Mars campaign: two handcrafted levels (mars01 surface,
mars02 base), mars_tileset.png, PARALLAX_STYLE_MARS with salmon sky
and red mesas, THEME_MARS_SURFACE/THEME_MARS_BASE for the procedural
generator with per-theme gravity/tileset/parallax. Moon campaign now
chains moon03 -> mars01 -> mars02 -> victory.
Also fix review findings: deterministic seed on generated level
restart, NULL checks on calloc in spawn functions, charge timeout
to prevent infinite charge on flat terrain, and stop suppressing
stderr in Makefile web-serve target so real errors are visible.
Render earth.png as a non-tiling feature sprite in the moon sky,
drawn between the far starfield and near crater terrain layers.
Introduce ParallaxFeature struct for single-instance background
sprites that scroll with the camera but never tile. Clean up the
feature reference in parallax_free to prevent stale pointers
between level transitions.
Introduce moon01.lvl as the starting level — a pure jump-and-run intro
with no gun and no enemies, just platforming over gaps and dodging falling
asteroids. The player picks up their gun upon transitioning to level01.
New features:
- Moon tileset and PARALLAX_STYLE_MOON with crater terrain backgrounds
- Asteroid entity (ENT_ASTEROID): falls from sky, damages on contact,
explodes on ground with particles, respawns after delay
- PLAYER_UNARMED directive disables gun for the level
- Pit rescue mechanic: falling costs 1 HP and auto-dashes upward
- Gun powerup entity type for future armed-pickup levels
- Segment-based procedural level generator with themed rooms
- Extended editor with entity palette and improved tile cycling
- Web shell improvements for Emscripten builds
Implements a full level editor that runs inside the game engine as an
alternative mode, accessible via --edit flag or E key during gameplay.
The editor auto-discovers available tiles from the tileset texture and
entities from a new central registry, so adding new game content
automatically appears in the editor without any editor-specific changes.
Editor features: tile painting (pencil/eraser/flood fill) across 3
layers, entity placement with drag-to-move, player spawn point tool,
camera pan/zoom, grid overlay, .lvl save/load, map resize, and test
play (P to play, ESC to return to editor).
Supporting changes:
- Entity registry centralizes spawn functions (replaces strcmp chain)
- Mouse input + raw keyboard access added to input system
- Camera zoom support for editor overview
- Zoom-aware rendering in tilemap, renderer, and sprite systems
- Powerup and drone sprites/animations wired up (were defined but unused)
- Bitmap font renderer for editor UI (4x6 pixel glyphs, no dependencies)
