- props.rs: furniture drawn near the camera every frame
- beds built by each creature on arrival, matching its kind (straw, web, starry cushion,
fur pile, chain bunk, ember cushion, rock hollow, camp bed); gone when the owner is
- training: spinning dummies, weapon racks, wobbling targets; torture: turning wheel,
iron maiden, brazier with glowing coals; temple: altar with candles and fire bowl,
candle stands; library: book shelves, lecterns with floating books while studying
- treasure chests in the treasury, closed when empty, filled with their treasure otherwise
- Soul core: stepped obsidian pedestal, four spikes with energy threads, circling runes,
unsteady pulse when hurt
- Portals: circle of standing stones with runes, column of light and rising sparks
- Floors: cracked, chipped and shattered stones, grit and crack decals

The 3D resolution setting refers to a window 1080 device pixels high; smaller windows use a
proportionally smaller divisor (1/1 stays full resolution). Settings show the divisor in effect.

Imps with nothing else to do (no digging, delivering, claiming, repairing or reinforcing of
their own) walk to a task of another imp and help; every 1.5 s they check for own work again.
Claiming floor keeps its priority before helping. Test.

Imps cannot reach such corners (only diagonal to own floor); they are closed every two seconds.
Knight fortress walls do not count; the floor condition keeps it from spreading. Test.

- manifest.webmanifest (full screen, any orientation), icons 192/512/maskable/apple-touch
- sw.js: network first, cache as offline fallback, the savegame API is never cached
- registered only over HTTPS or on localhost; nginx serves the manifest type
- README: installing, HTTPS requirement

- Portal interval scaled by free beds (1 free: ~3x slower, 6: normal, 14: 2x faster, up to ~3x)
- Lair info shows the free beds and the arrival speed
- Test

- With no unit in reach, towers fire at opposing towers (both sides) and the player's towers
at the gate of the order / hero gate (line of sight needed, walls block)
- Rooms, bridges, sell, flag and towers pick the floor tile under the pointer; only digging
and the hand still aim at walls
- Test for tower duels and gate fire

- Title screen: Campaign with the list of the 20 missions (done / open / locked)
- Briefing per mission: story told by old Crookfinger (EN/DE), goals, new tools,
creatures and gold carried over; start button
- In the game: goals panel with progress (click/tap opens the briefing again), the pause menu
has a Briefing entry to read the whole briefing again
- Mission end: next mission / try again and back to the campaign; won missions and the
carry-over are stored in the browser; epilogue after the last mission

- campaign.rs: missions as key data (size, rivers, fortresses, goals, waves, time limit, gifts);
start_mission builds the map with the generator; tools unlock step by step; the strongest
5 creatures and 20% of the gold are carried into the next mission; campaign progress type
- Map generator options (portals, treasure caves, hero gate) and meandering rivers with
knight bridges
- Mission goals: shards, gate of the order, all knights, vault loot, knight towers, waves;
time limits; waves and gate defenders only where the mission wants them
- Locked tools are shown dark and cannot be chosen; HUD shows gate/waves/time only when used
- Fix: patrol routes no longer start on tower spots
- Tests: every mission builds, its goals are possible, wave heroes reach the core

- fortress.rs: fortress builder (masonry walls with doors, courtyard, corner towers, vault chambers
full of mixed treasure, shard chamber, gate of the order as the heart, guards, patrols)
- Knight towers shoot the player's units; creatures tear down knight towers within reach
- Patrols walk their round; guards and patrols that spot an enemy alarm the others nearby
- Imps claim knight ground (slower, not next to fighting heroes); vaults hand over their treasure,
shard chambers give the shard back; claiming alarms the knights
- Knights tear down the player's bridges near their posts
- Fix: units next to a tower could stop at the tile edge just out of melee reach
- Tests for towers, vault looting, patrols/alarm and bridge tearing

- New veins (appended kinds): silver (common), ruby (rare), diamond (very rare, far from the core);
treasure caves contain gems; each treasure is worth a different amount per strike and per vein
- Imps carry one kind of treasure at a time
- Treasury tiles hold up to 500 each and show gold coins, silver bars, rubies or diamonds;
spending empties random treasury tiles, the soul core keeps what does not fit
- Training no longer drains gold continuously: it is billed on the next payday
- Payday is announced 20 s before (message with the cost); the HUD shows a payday countdown and
the cost of the next payday in red next to the gold counter
- Tests for the treasury and the payday bill

- New tile kinds (appended for the savegame codec): water, lava, wooden bridge, stone bridge, core shard
- Sunken river beds with banks, bridge decks with rails, lava glow and lights
- Bridge tool (key U, rooms category): bridges grow from own ground, 30 gold/tile over water, 75 over lava
- Selling a bridge drops the units on it into the river (water: swim to the bank, lava: burn)
- Cannon blasts and punches knock units back; into lava = burnt (heroes still pay their bounty)
- Heroes cannot path through rivers; texts EN/DE; tests for bridges and lava

- touch.rs: gesture recognition (tap, double tap, long press, drag, two-finger pan/pinch/rotate)
- Touch mode: Auto (touch device or first touch) / On / Off in Settings -> Game
- Larger interface factor on touch screens, top bar wraps, smaller minimap, fewer messages
- Toolbar grouped into categories with pop-up rows and a menu button, also on the desktop
- Long press shows information or drops held units; double tap with the hand slaps
- Savegame name via the browser's text dialog when the name field is tapped
- Touch help texts (EN/DE)

Effects now carry start/end heights; leftover 2D height offsets that moved
projectiles and hit sparks sideways on the map are removed.

- server/: small axum service storing savegames as files (1 MB each, 500 MB total, rate limit)
- docker compose: second container with a volume; nginx forwards /api/
- JS plugin: asynchronous HTTP requests polled by the game
- Save/Load open a list page (name field, new, overwrite, load, delete with confirmation)
- Without a reachable service the game keeps using savegame files and the browser autosave

- pointing monster hand with the active tool's icon, grabbing hand / fist, animated backhand and punch
- active tool highlighted in the toolbar (pulsing frame, arrow)
- hand: pick up unconscious heroes on own ground, drop prisoners anywhere on own ground
(onto a free torture place = locked up), Shift+click backhand (speed-up) / punch (stun)
- fix: hint slots overflowed with the new hints; hint times are no longer saved
- test for the hand rules

- defeated heroes are knocked out if the torture chamber has room; imps carry them in
- torture drains HP over ~100 s; ~40% defect (paladins ~25%) and become own creatures
- Jailer (6+ torture tiles): tanky melee that pulls enemies in with a chain
- temple: creatures pray for mana (more than studying) and mood
- Flame Priestess (6+ temple tiles): fireballs with splash, heals creatures and the Soul Core
- tests: prisoner chain + defect rate, temple prayer + core healing

- New Game dialog with map width/height (steps of 32), remembered in settings
- map dimensions are per game; renderer chunks, minimap and camera follow them
- content scales with area; grace period grows with the distance to the Hero Gate
- treasure caves with rich gold, guarded by hero squads that hold their post
- marked blocks: translucent yellow box with outline on all edges
- savegame v2: packed run-length encoded tiles (256x256 map ~320 KB), v1 still loads
- tests: savegame round trip on 96x128, 256x256 generation/simulation/save

- src/xm.rs: FastTracker 2 XM and ProTracker MOD replayer (verified against libopenmpt)
- src/audio.rs: music players with crossfade + effect voices, rendered on demand
- src/sfx.rs: 29 synthesised chip sound effects
- www/dc_plugin.js: AudioContext started on first input, streams samples from WASM
- music follows the game: title, rotating build tracks, battle, gate assault, jingles
- macroquad audio removed; all tests run natively with cargo test

tools/compose_music.py synthesises chip instruments and writes FastTracker 2 XM files
(editable in MilkyTracker). The title leitmotif runs through all pieces: title,
three build tracks, two battle tracks, victory and defeat jingles.
Validated with libopenmpt; instrument tuning checked (A4 = 440 Hz).
