60b685d94b save a copy of vacuum_gambit.p8 as last_tyrianlike 
next step is to pick a real direction -- MMBN-like (+STS-like) or
Survivors-like -- and adapt to match. I am likely to completely remove
the energy system and use permanent autofire, freeing both fire buttons
for more interesting tasks. It loses the opportunity to create a dynamic
around baiting an enemy to keep shooting so its shields don't recover,
but I don't think it loses a lot else.

Either energy management needs to become really important and the game
becomes strategic and tactical, or it needs to be a non-issue and it is
an arcade game. Tyrian itself did not make the energy system interesting
and it was just a tax, so making it interesting would be doing something
new. But I think it's a kind of "interesting" that almost nobody would
adopt unless I go _very hard_ into creating a tactical/strategic shmup.
A shmup that is actually a strange kind of RTS sounds... really cool,
actually, but I'm not at all confident I could design it.

Removing energy entirely gives us a button _and_ a meter back, which
can be used for XP (Survivors-like) or rearm time (MMBN-like).

cc1e7ea5b7 surive at 0hp and adjust hp values to match 
Instead of doing a special case for 1HP, 0HP is survivable, ships die
at negative HP instead. all ship health is adjusted to match, assuming
the weakest shot is 0.5hp, which is currently true. the "real" game will
totally rebalance all ships and weapons anyway.

we're getting close to when I have to stop dawdling and implement the
real game, the engine is _there._

6b8efe3438 fix HP-only mode 
it was showing the bar intended as the warning that there's no HP
under the shield. but I tried it and that bar just makes it look like
there *is* a sliver of health, which there isn't. so it's better off
without that in either mode.

c2668cefea handle 0 shield and 1 max HP cases 2024-08-18 14:40:11 -07:00

eebd84544b one hit comment now shows correct value to use 
some guns do less than one damage per shot (vulcan gun does 0.5), so
Instant Death Mode needs to max at 0x0.0001, the smallest nonzero value
in Pico-8's fixed-point numeric type.

One Hit Mode is just a comment for now, but I've been uncommenting it
to test it. Note that replacing the health meter with a "!" is triggered
by max HP + max shield <= 1 because 1 hp shows an empty bar.

this needs some more special cases for low-HP ships with active shields.

965fc0d688 major rebalances 
10s generator is too slow -- 10 seconds ago is an eternity in a shmup
and a player who has stopped firing should recover much faster. The
generator's max capacity is much lower and shield cost has been
rebalanced to match.

The Protron is much more expensive to fire, it was previously just
easy mode.

Shields now recover faster _once they start recovering_ (every second
if energy is available) but getting hit causes a "penalty cooldown"
that is much longer than the standard recovery interval. This behavior
is taken from Halo and basically every modern FPS that came after it;
it's unlike Tyrian, which had consistent shield recovery behavior.
But I think Halo's rule plays much better.

51629376f2 adjust HUD 
Health and shields now share one bar. one hit point is (about) the same
size in each. There is an indicator splitting the two categories of HP.
