Resolves Issue #4463 ## Description: An optional game mode that (almost) guarantees a finish instead of letting late-game stalemates drag on. Originally called sudden death, renamed to Doomsday clock Once enabled, every side (each player in FFA, each whole team in team modes) must hold a rising share of the map. A side below the bar is skulled; after a short warn its troops bleed to zero, forcing consolidation to a winner. ### How it works - **Rising zone:** a grace period, then the required share ramps up linearly to each level with 30s pauses between (a battle-royale "zone"). Levels track the ofstats FFA territory median (3/5/10/20/30%). - **Four speed presets** (slow / normal / fast / very fast) change only the pace: normal ends ~30 min, very fast ~15. - **Troop decay:** a linear ramp as a % of max capacity, ~50s from caught to zero (10s warn + ~50s ≈ 1 min total). - **UI:** a HUD panel (live share vs target, wave/decay countdowns, red/orange cues) and an on-map skull above flagged players (blinks in danger, steady while draining). ### Notes for review - Off by default; no effect on existing games. However, as discussed we can add it to the modifier pool for public games to see how popular the gamemode is vs normal play. - Sim is deterministic (integer-only, in `src/core`), covered by unit + integration tests. - One-line addition to `GameServer.updateGameConfig` so the setting survives the host → server → client round-trip. - Status is packed into the existing name-pass data slot (`pd4.w`: 0/1/2 = none/danger/draining); the skull is composited into the icon atlas at load. ### Testing `npm test`, `npm run lint`, `npx prettier --check .`, `npm run build-prod` all pass. ### UI: <img width="243" height="100" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c4c9eeb0-4feb-437d-9aac-b2786a841b74" /> Dropdown between slow, normal, fast, very fast Before zone: <img width="302" height="175" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7359a1ea-4951-446d-a23c-0711fe06cc5d" /> Zone started, player not affected the pannel also blinks orange for 10s: <img width="297" height="175" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fcc565a5-d5d0-47a7-97ea-d0ba9d9ad899" /> Player affected, grace period (Danger): <img width="314" height="170" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ff96d21e-96f3-4ef9-8190-48eecc7aac0f" /> Skull icon blinking over player (everyone sees it) - older screenshot, the clipping has been fixed <img width="462" height="145" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/53899211-33b1-40e1-83f2-77f2096f0cad" /> Player affected, grace period ended (Draining): <img width="360" height="159" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4b226d57-da4d-4866-ab5f-db48e4ed1ea2" /> Skull icon no longer blinking, everyone can see you are in a state of decay, and troops are draining: <img width="732" height="146" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cd10fedb-6e87-4dfc-9fbf-55d3945a7901" /> Skull is visible like alliances icon also on player tab <img width="558" height="81" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6acdbe91-bdd0-40c7-942b-3990d4dae87f" /> (just UI example, best way to see it is to hop on a solo game and play against AI) ## Please complete the following: - [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates - [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file - [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory ## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or regression is found: zixer._	2026-07-02 18:42:03 -07:00
Evan	bca980f572	Shrink the per-tick worker → main update payload by ~90% (#4244) ... Stacked on #4243 (the `perf:client` harness) — first step of fixing the every-100ms main-thread stutter: make the per-tick burst small before spreading what remains across frames. ## Problem The harness showed the main-thread burst was dominated by `structuredClone` of the `updates` object, and the clone was dominated by two kinds of per-tick churn that re-sent object payloads every tick: - `gold` / `troops` / `tilesOwned` change for nearly every alive player every tick → ~278 partial `PlayerUpdate` objects per tick (world/400 bots), ~508 on giantworldmap. - Attack troop counts tick down every tick → whole `outgoingAttacks`/`incomingAttacks` arrays re-cloned for every fighting player every tick. - `playerNameViewData` (an all-players record) was cloned every tick but only recomputed every 30 ticks. ## Change Three additions to the worker → main protocol (all transferable, zero-clone): 1. **`packedPlayerUpdates`** — `[smallID, tilesOwned, gold, troops]` float64 quads for players whose stats changed. These fields no longer appear in `PlayerUpdate` diffs (first emissions still carry the full snapshot). Gold is exact in a float64 (game values ≪ 2^53). 2. **`packedAttackUpdates`** — `[ownerSmallID, direction, index, troops]` quads. Attack arrays are only resent when membership/order/retreating changes — which is exactly the condition that keeps the patch indexes valid (a tick either resends an array or patches it, never both). 3. **`playerNameViewData` is now optional** — attached only on placement-rebuild ticks (spawn ticks, first ticks, every 30th, spawn end). The client keeps the last applied values; dead players' name placements freeze at death (matching the previous effective behavior). On the client, `GameView.populateFrame` now also rebuilds `names` / `relationMatrix` / `allianceClusters` only when their inputs changed that tick — field presence on a partial `PlayerUpdate` marks them dirty. (`playerStatus`, nuke telegraphs, and attack rings still recompute every tick; they're tick- or unit-dependent.) ## Results (perf:client, this machine; low-end devices ~5–20× slower) Default run (world, 400 bots, 1800 ticks): | stage | before | after | |---|---|---| | clone (serialize+deserialize) | 1.02ms | **0.09ms** | | GameView.update | 0.62ms | **0.29ms** | | WebGLFrameBuilder.update | 0.04ms | 0.04ms | | **TOTAL burst mean** | **1.67ms** | **0.42ms** | | TOTAL p99 / max | 3.47 / 10.3ms | **1.21 / 3.92ms** | giantworldmap/600t: 2.54 → 0.68ms mean. Player update objects: 278 → 6.5 per tick (world), 508 → 12 (giant). The remaining burst is mostly tile apply + per-tick derivations — the part that frame-spreading (next step) addresses. ## Verification - **Sim final hash unchanged** on all three reference configs (`5607618202213430`, `29309648281599524`, `39945089450032050`) — no simulation behavior change. - **View hash unchanged** on all three configs (`942106e9`, `a3aae227`, `cbaaf265`) — the rendered view state is provably identical tick-for-tick, including the name-freeze semantics. - New tests: `tests/PackedPlayerUpdates.test.ts` (drain + GameRunner cadence), packed-channel and freeze-at-death cases in `tests/client/view/GameView.test.ts`, `packAttackTroopDeltas` unit tests and updated diff contract in `tests/GameUpdateUtils.test.ts` / `tests/PlayerUpdateDiff.test.ts`. - `npm test` (1490 tests), `eslint`, `prettier`, `tsc --noEmit` all pass. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-12 16:50:56 -07:00
Evan	62e15d2794	Cut worker→main bandwidth ~3.3× by switching PlayerUpdate to deltas (#3967) ... ## Description: Cut worker→main bandwidth ~3.3× by switching PlayerUpdate from a full per-tick snapshot to a field-level diff. PlayerImpl.toUpdate() now caches the last sent update and returns only changed fields, or null if nothing changed. The client-side applyStateUpdate() merges instead of overwriting. Per-tick total dropped from ~297 KB to ~89 KB; the Player bucket alone went from 258 KB/tick to 50 KB/tick. Diff/apply logic lives in a new GameUpdateUtils.ts module with unit tests. ## Please complete the following: - [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates - [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file - [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory - [x] I confirm I have thoroughly tested these changes and take full responsibility for any bugs introduced ## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or regression is found: evan	2026-05-18 17:07:40 -07:00
