Stacking distorders, menu layouts, lab rewards, enemy detail, artillery cross
DISTORDER STACKING. Each space-time distorder vessel past the first raises
the fleet's speed ceiling by 1.0, so a second one is worth crewing instead of
being dead weight. GameState gains max_fleet_speed_multiplier, pushed by
Fleet whenever composition changes - the same direction as every other
fleet-derived figure, since GameState does not reach into the scene tree to
count ships. The energy drain is normalised against the CURRENT ceiling, so
full boost costs the same per second however wide it is: extra vessels buy
more speed, not cheaper speed. Losing one re-clamps an over-ceiling boost
rather than leaving the fleet travelling faster than its crew can sustain.
TRANSFER MENU. Rows overlapped, and the last one ran into the hint text.
row_height is divided from the available space, but each row's contents used
a fixed pixel ladder - glyph at +10, buttons at +88, selector at +142 - which
needs about 244px. Three resources fit; the fourth cut rows to 180 and every
one spilled 64px into the next. Every offset is now a fraction of the row, so
it cannot overflow. Also dropped the per-row AMOUNT caption (four copies of a
word the footer hint already explains) and moved each glyph and name to the
TOP of its row, where they read as its heading rather than the next row's.
HANGAR. Six vessel types in one row gave each about 100px for a 155px label,
so the names ran together. Now a 3x2 grid per section, sized from the space
between the first heading and the status line, using the empty lower half.
LAB RESEARCH REWARD. A harder enemy lab is worth more research points, and
how hard a lab is depends on the layout authored for it - how many capture
points, how many defenders - which the planet TYPE cannot know. PlanetSetup
carries research_point_reward, set in the map editor, overriding the planet
type's flat rate. 0 means "no opinion", so every map authored before this
keeps its old value.
RESEARCH LAB BACKGROUND. Its own shader instead of the crater field with a
red tint, which read as "rocky planet, tinted" rather than someone's
facility: plated floor, seams, service conduits, lit junctions. Loop-free by
construction (#68's lesson applied up front) - conduits stay continuous
across cells by keying a horizontal run to cell.y and a vertical to cell.x,
so neighbouring cells agree without any cell scanning its neighbours.
ENEMY DETAIL. Every enemy was a single flat outline, which left the artillery
and the turret spawner as the same octagon at two sizes - the silhouette
carried no information about what the thing did. EnemyDefinition gains
detail_lines and detail_rings as DATA, so adding an enemy still means adding
a definition rather than editing Enemy.gd, and the four non-default hulls are
redrawn: a long-barrelled sniper, a squat mortar, a hive with launch bays, a
capital ship with spine and ribs.
Three things drew an enemy from its definition - the enemy, the map editor's
markers, and the palette buttons - each reimplementing it from hull_points
alone, so the new detail appeared in the game and nowhere else and an editor
marker stopped matching what it placed. They now share
EnemyDefinitions.draw_definition().
ARTILLERY. The 1.8s charge-up before the tower fired arrived long before the
threat was legible and mostly read as the tower being stuck. It fires
immediately now; the warning is the shell you can see in the air plus a small
cross on the ground at the impact point. Deliberately not a blast-radius ring
- a large translucent area was easy to read as the explosion having already
happened, where the cross says "move off this spot".
MAIN MENU. No Quit in any build (a web build has nothing to quit to, and
Android's back gesture already does it), a plain black background, and the
game is "Spaceship" - in the title and in config/name, which is what drives
the browser tab for the web export. change_scene_to_file() returns an error
and otherwise fails silently, leaving the menu up, which is indistinguishable
from an unpressed button; it is now checked and reported on screen.
Full suite green at 99/99.

Implement #80, #81, #82 and #83
#80 - desktop combat. The mouse aims, the left button fires, and the number
keys pick the weapon: 1 the fleet's guns, 2 and up the abilities. The twin
sticks are built for thumbs; on a desktop they mean dragging a virtual stick
with a pointer that could simply BE the crosshair.
The pointer path hands its heading to FireStickController rather than driving
weapons itself, so exactly one thing in the scene aims a gun, and a held stick
wins - a finger on it is a deliberate act, a mouse resting somewhere is not.
Abilities gained fire_at(), which aims and fires in one call instead of
pretending to be a press-drag-release touch.
It is gated on the absence of a touchscreen, because Godot emulates a mouse
button from every touch and without that a tap on a phone would fire the guns.
The gate has an explicit override, and not for tidiness: headless reports a
touchscreen, so with the automatic answer alone the aiming could never be
exercised by a test and the only covered behaviour would be the guard.
#81 - the bottom-left control hint is gone, from both scenes and from
GameController.
#82 - a chaser is destroyed by the impact when it reaches a vessel. It used to
pass through the wreck untouched and line up another pass, which made a
ramming enemy strictly better than any other. Data-driven per enemy
(dies_on_contact), because a sniper that happens to drift into a ship has not
spent itself doing it - and routed through take_damage, so it dies exactly as
it dies to gunfire. The enemy is told about the impact BEFORE the ship
resolves its own damage, since resolving it can free the ship.
#83 - the research tree's buy button is gone; tapping a node twice buys it.
Deliberately "the same node twice" rather than a timed double-tap: no window
to miss on a slow phone, no accidental purchase while browsing, and the first
tap always does something visible, so the second is never a blind commitment.
The status line now says "Tap again to research" - with the button gone it is
the only thing distinguishing an affordable node from an unaffordable one.
test_enemy_collision asserted the exact behaviour #82 reversed, and now checks
the ram costs both. Suite 117/117.

#101 (#97c): waves attack buildings
Every enemy component used to ask the same question - which player SHIP is
nearest - so a structure was scenery they flew straight through. A Building
is also a plain Node2D, so there was nothing to collide with even if one had
tried.
EnemyTargets answers the question once, for pursuit, standoff, the lancer's
lunge and the ranged weapon together, so they cannot drift into disagreeing
about it. It keeps one thumb on the scale: a vessel inside 520px always
wins, even against a nearer building, or the fleet could not defend anything
by interposing itself and an enemy would fly past the ships shooting it.
Buildings get a hitbox - an Area2D in a group, the same shape as a Ship or
an asteroid, so EnemyProjectile needed one extra branch rather than a new
concept. It applies damage on a tick rather than on area_entered: entry
fires once, which is right for a rammer that dies on the first strike, but
would let a sniper that drifted inside sit there scratch-free for ever. On a
tick, an enemy parked on a structure is besieging it.
What one strike costs is data on the enemy definition, for the same reason
dies_on_contact is - a lancer arriving at 950px/s is not a sniper drifting
into a wall.
Also clears the asteroids in test_enemy_projectile_damage. set_process(false)
only stops NEW asteroids; the ones already placed keep drifting, and one
wandering into the shield vessel parked at (2000, 0) spent its single charge
so the projectile fired next killed it. That failed about one parallel suite
run in thirty and never in isolation. Clearing them is what the other combat
tests already do.
