Four gameplay parameters are now driven by the selected difficulty,
following the existing 'hard = harder for the player' philosophy:
param easy normal hard
gas_spread_speed 40 50 90 (higher = slower gas)
weapon_refill_multiplier 1.3 1.0 0.6 (less ammo on hard)
max_babies 2 3 5 (more pups on hard)
mate_stop_male / female 120/240 100/200 60/120 (shorter stop on hard)
Implementation:
- engine/config.py: new keys on each DIFFICULTY_OPTIONS entry.
- rats.py: _apply_difficulty() loads them onto the game (with __init__
defaults for safety); normal keeps the previous hardcoded values.
- units/gas.py: Gas.speed reads game.gas_spread_speed (fallback 50).
- engine/unit_manager.py: refill_ammo() scales per-frame refill chances
by game.weapon_refill_multiplier (fallback 1.0).
- units/rat.py: Male.fuck() uses game.mate_stop_male/mate_stop_female
and random.randint(1, game.max_babies) (fallbacks to old values).
All reads use getattr with the previous constant as fallback, so older
configs / saved state keep working.
- Introduced `test_final_level_flow.py` to validate final level transitions and game end scenarios.
- Created `test_game_over_flow.py` to ensure game over conditions trigger correctly based on rat counts.
- Implemented `test_keybindings.py` to verify keybinding configurations and their context-specific actions.
- Developed `test_level_editor.py` to assess level editor functionalities and layout computations.
- Added `test_level_io.py` for testing level data serialization and deserialization.
- Established `test_loop_logic_parity.py` to ensure consistent game state across multiple simulation runs.
- Created `test_non_regression.py` to simulate game behavior and capture states for future verification.
- Implemented `test_verify.py` to compare current game states against a golden master for regression detection.
- Introduced a new JSON file containing non-regression test states with detailed unit information, including positions, ages, and movement directions across multiple frames.
- Added a shell script for Bluetooth diagnostics that checks system information, Bluetooth binaries, running processes, D-Bus status, Bluetooth controller details, and audio stack status, providing a comprehensive overview for troubleshooting.
- Added `image_clean.png` to the output directory for the clean image representation.
- Added `image_clean_preview.png` for the preview of the clean image.
- Introduced `image_svg_clean.png` for the SVG clean image representation.
Major improvements:
- NumPy-based collision system supporting 200+ units (~3ms/frame)
- Spatial hashing with vectorized distance calculations
- 4-pass game loop ensuring correct collision timing
- Blood overlay system with pre-generated stain pool
- Cached render positions and viewport bounds
- Spawn protection preventing rats spawning on weapons
Bug fixes:
- Fixed bombs not killing rats (collision system timing)
- Fixed gas not affecting rats (collision system timing)
- Fixed rats spawning on weapons (added has_weapon_at check)
- Fixed AttributeError with Gas collisions (added isinstance check)
- Fixed blood stain transparency (RGBA + SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND)
- Reduced point lifetime from 200 to 90 frames (~1.5s)
- Blood layer now clears on game restart
Technical changes:
- Added engine/collision_system.py with CollisionLayer enum
- Updated all units to use collision layers
- Pre-allocate NumPy arrays with capacity management
- Hybrid collision approach (<10 simple, ≥10 vectorized)
- Python 3.13 compatibility
