Auto-save game state when the browser tab is hidden (visibilitychange)
or closed/navigated away (beforeunload). Prevents data loss on mobile
where tab switching can kill the page without a save interval firing.
Part of epic #57 Night of Polish — Task 6: Mobile Polish.
playTime was defined in globals but never incremented and never
included in save/load. Now incremented each tick and persisted
in localStorage via the whitelist and save data.
applyFn was multiplying G.codeBoost by 0.7 on every updateRates() call
(building purchase, project, click, etc.), permanently degrading it.
After 10 calls the boost was effectively zero.
Fix: apply penalty to G.codeRate (computed per-tick) instead of
G.codeBoost (persistent multiplier). Debuffs must never mutate boost state.
Part of #57 — Task 4: Tutorial & Onboarding
- 5 click-through screens introducing game concepts (code, buildings,
research, phases, keyboard shortcuts)
- Skip button on every screen, keyboard support (Enter/Escape/arrows)
- Stores completion in localStorage — only shows once for new players
- Matches existing visual style (dark theme, accent colors, monospace)
- Start Playing button on final screen with shortcut hint (? overlay)
- index.html: role=region on phase-bar, strategy-panel; role=dialog+aria-modal on help overlay, offline popup, drift ending; aria-label on help button, close button, continue button, start over button; aria-live on progress label
- render.js: aria-label on alignment event buttons; fix exportSave() URL revoke race with setTimeout delay
- engine.js: aria-label+aria-pressed on buy amount buttons; role=button+tabindex+aria-expanded+aria-controls on completed projects header
- Building rate display now shows actual boosted rates (after multipliers)
instead of raw base rates, so players see their real production
- WRITE CODE button area now displays current click power dynamically
(updates each render tick as boosts change)
- Click power also reflected in button aria-label for accessibility
Closes#61
New panel in the stats area displays each owned wizard building with:
- Name and current status (Active/Idle/Stressed/Offline/Vanished/Present)
- Color-coded indicator: green=healthy, amber=reduced, red=problem
- Production contribution breakdown per wizard
- Timmy shows effectiveness % scaled by harmony
- Allegro shows idle warning when trust < 5
- Ezra shows offline status when debuff is active
- Bilbo shows vanished status when debuff is active
- Harmony summary bar at the bottom
Makes the harmony/wizard interaction system visible and actionable.
Players can now see at a glance which wizards need attention.
Players with 100+ max ops get a second row of 50-ops buttons
that convert 50 ops at once for proportionally larger boosts.
Shift+1/2/3 keyboard shortcuts for bulk code/compute/knowledge.
Eliminates late-game tedium of clicking 5-ops buttons hundreds
of times when you have thousands of ops banked.
Two new Phase 2 research projects that fill the gap between building
a Home Server and reaching Phase 3 (Deployment):
- Open Weights (compute: 3000, code: 1500): Triggers after having a
server and 1000 total code. Rewards 2x code boost and 1.5x compute
boost. Teaches about running models locally without cloud dependency.
- Prompt Engineering (knowledge: 500, code: 2000): Triggers after
200 knowledge and 3000 total code. Rewards 2x knowledge and 2x user
boost. Teaches that good prompting beats bigger models.
Both projects follow the game's existing pattern: unlock based on
total resources, cost resources, apply boosts, and log educational
messages. They give players more strategic options in early-to-mid
game progression.
The header now shows a pulsing beacon dot that reflects fleet state:
- Color: green (healthy harmony >70), amber (stressed 40-70), red (critical <40)
- Flicker speed: faster when production is high, fastest when debuffs are active
- Label: shows current phase, fleet size, and active alert count
- End states: DRIFTED (red) or SHINING (gold) for game endings
DESIGN.md called for this: "The Pulse — a central visual that brightens when
the fleet is healthy, flickers when harmony is low." Now it exists.
Fix: getMaxBuyable() was mutating G (subtracting/re-adding resources) during
render cycles in renderBuildings(). Now uses a read-only simulation with a
temporary resource copy. This prevented phantom resource fluctuations when
MAX buy was selected.
Feature: Press ? or click the ? button for a keyboard shortcuts overlay.
All keybindings listed in one place. Closes with ?, Esc, or clicking outside.
Added ? to the init log hint line.
Auto-Code Generators now produce actual auto-clicks (not just passive rate),
giving players satisfying visual feedback (floating numbers, button flash)
even while idle. Interval scales with building count: more buildings =
faster auto-typing. Each auto-click produces 50% of a manual click's code.
This makes the early game feel more like an idle game — you can watch
your auto-typers work while planning your next building purchase.
New research project (Phase 4): Swarm Protocol
- Unlocks at 25K total code, 8K total knowledge, post-deploy
- Cost: 15K knowledge, 50K code, 20 trust
- Effect: every building generates code equal to your click power per second
- Scales with autocoders, phase, code boost, and total building count
- Visible in production breakdown as 'Swarm Protocol'
- Uses the previously-unused swarmFlag
- Adds education fact on swarm intelligence
Combo system now rewards sustained clicking:
- 10x combo: +15 ops (sustained coding reward)
- 20x combo: +50 knowledge (deep focus reward)
- 30x+ combo (every 10): 2x bonus code burst (hyperfocus)
Also fixed potential DOM leak in showClickNumber where floating
numbers could fail to clean up if parent element was removed
before animation/timeout completed.
- Completed research projects are now collapsed by default (click to expand),
preventing panel clutter in mid/late game. Toggle state persists in saves.
- Export saves as JSON files with E key or Export button
- Import saves from file with I key or Import button (validates before loading)
- Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut for quick save
- Updated keybind hints in startup log
When Operations exceed 80% of max capacity, excess ops automatically
drain into Code at 2 ops/sec (10:1 ratio with code boost). This prevents
ops from sitting idle at the cap and gives the early game smoother flow.
Visual indicator shows 'overflow -> code' in the ops rate display when
active. No log spam - just works silently in the background.
- Added modal popup showing detailed offline resource gains when player returns
- Fixed offline tracking to include ops, trust, and creativity (were silently missing)
- Popup shows all resources with color-coded labels and 50% efficiency note
- Log message now shows time in human-readable format (minutes/seconds)
Previously, buildings from later phases were completely invisible until
unlocked. Players had no idea what was coming next. Now buildings up to
2 phases ahead appear as dimmed (25% opacity) locked entries showing:
- Name and lock icon
- Phase number and name
- Description text
- Education tooltip on hover
This gives players a roadmap of what they're building toward and creates
anticipation for future phases. The preview is a non-interactive div
(not a button) so it cannot be clicked.
Players can now see exactly which buildings contribute to each resource
rate, including Timmy harmony bonuses, Bilbo randomness, Allegro trust
penalties, and passive generation. Appears once 2+ buildings are built.
Also includes minor fixes:
- Production bars sort by absolute contribution (negative rates visible)
- Delta calculation catches passive sources (ops from users, Pact trust)
