DramaticShapeVoxelMod/lib/Horde.lua

-- HORDE MODE: the code, the dark, and the way back.
--
-- Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A, standing in the overworld,
-- and Kanto turns on you: the sky goes to a starless violet night, the
-- Lavender Town theme comes up, the camera locks into the player's own
-- head, a handgun appears in their right hand, and waves of people walk
-- out of the dark to kill them. Score goes up per kill; when the health
-- runs out a GAME OVER screen offers a score and PRESS A, and pressing it
-- puts everything back exactly as it was.
--
-- WHAT THIS FILE OWNS: the code detector, the state machine, the snapshot
-- and its restore, and every hook that holds the world still while the
-- mode runs. The gun is lib/HordeGun, the crowd is lib/HordeMobs, the
-- readout is lib/HordeHud, the sounds are lib/HordeSfx and the ending is
-- lib/HordeGameOver.
--
-- IT IS NOT A STACK STATE, and that is the load-bearing decision. Pushing
-- a state over the overworld stops StateStack ticking the overworld,
-- which stops OverworldState:handleInput, which stops FreeMove -- the
-- player would be unable to walk. So horde mode is a MODE FLAG driven
-- from the voxel pipeline's update hook, exactly as lib/OverworldBattle
-- rides it: the one tick that keeps running through menus, transitions
-- and battles. The GAME OVER screen IS a pushed state, because by then
-- the walking is over and freezing the world under it is the point.
--
-- THE CODE IS READ OFF GAME BOY BUTTONS, not off keys. Every input device
-- the engine has -- keyboard, gamepad, raw joystick, the touch overlay,
-- and the VR controllers (lib/VR.driveControls feeds Input:overlayPressed
-- and the stick path) -- lands in src/core/Input as one of eight buttons.
-- One detector on that abstraction is therefore a detector on ALL of
-- them, which is why the code works on a headset with no keyboard in the
-- room. It reads Input.pressQueue from the `input.step` hook, the fixed
-- step's own boundary, so it sees every edge exactly once whatever the
-- frame rate did.
--
-- THE DARK is not a new renderer. DayNight is pinned to NIGHT and then
-- its two public colour functions are WRAPPED and multiplied down toward
-- violet -- so the sky bands, the world tint, the flat 2D world (DayTint
-- paints the same multiply), the water's reflection and the shadow rig
-- all darken together, because every one of them already reads those two
-- functions. Wrapped rather than edited in place because both memoise
-- into file-local caches this module cannot reach.
