The first ALLY, and the reputation loop that earns it — "don't shoot the biome, it helps you"
(V2_IDEAS) made mechanical.
- combat/enemies.js + balance.js: the `phage` archetype. A friendly seeker that hunts the
nearest FOE (not the player) and rams it — a bacteriophage bursts its host after `bursts`
hits. Fast (26 > every foe) so it catches things, fragile (hp 8) so it is spent, not a wall.
Entities now carry a `foe` flag (foes true; flora + phage false); kill() generalised so ANY
ally scores nothing and never combos. Fallback silhouette is a bare icosahedron = the phage's
real icosahedral capsid. Teal (EMISSIVE.ally), distinct from cyan "don't shoot" flora.
- combat/index.js: BIOME STANDING — one run-scoped float. flora:tended raises it, flora:harmed
drops it 25; at the symbiotic threshold the biome BUDS a phage near you (capped 3, 3s cooldown),
spending standing. Emits `standing {value}` for a future Lane E meter.
- levels/enemies.js: ARCHETYPES += phage; catalogue `phage`.
Verified deterministically in-engine: tending flora budded a phage, which hunted a spore_pod foe
(30hp) and rammed it dead; three-colour readability holds (amber foe / teal ally / cyan friend).

GUTS — a fantastic voyage through the alimentary canal
Browser flight-combat game (three.js, zero build step). You pilot ENDO-1, a microscopic probe, mouth → rectum through five anatomically-grounded biomes: ride peristalsis down the esophagus, cross the acid sea of the stomach, thread the villi forest of the small intestine, survive the gas swamps of the colon. Fantastic Voyage × Star Fox × Descent.

Run it
cd web && python3 -m http.server 8140
# http://localhost:8140 — the game
# http://localhost:8140/?stub=1&dbg=1 — stub world + debug HUD (works from day 0)
No bundler, no npm, no build. ES modules + import map; three.js r175 vendored in web/vendor/
(never CDN — the game must run offline). Before you finish a session: bash tools/qa.sh.
The one-paragraph tech pitch
The whole canal is a spline. World position is (s, θ, ρ) — distance along the canal,
angle and radius in the cross-section. Tube walls are chunked extrusions along
parallel-transport frames; peristalsis and breathing are vertex-shader displacement
(cheap, squishy, everywhere); collision is an analytic radius test (no physics engine).
Caverns (mouth, stomach) switch the same controller to free 6DOF. Look is synthetic
scanner — dark endoscope void, SEM-style monochrome walls with FLUX-generated detail
textures, emissive-coded enemies. Everything is seeded + deterministic, and every asset is
optional at runtime — the game boots and plays asset-free with procedural fallbacks.
Hard laws (all lanes)
- Determinism. No
Math.randomoutsidejs/core/rng.js. Seeded RNG only. qa.sh greps. - Assets are optional. Missing texture/model/audio ⇒ procedural fallback, never a crash.
- Eyeball everything. Visual work isn't done until a screenshot is in
docs/shots/laneX/. - Perf budget: ≤300 draw calls, 60 fps on M-series / mid laptop. Measure via
window.DBG. - Free-first. Local MODELBEAST generation before any paid API; fal.ai is a gated fallback (John's go). See PIPELINE.md.
- Git: stage only your exact paths, commit + push each session, never
git add ..
Deploy
Live: https://partly.party/gutsy/ — bash tools/deploy.sh (QA gate → rsync web/ minus
dev/ → docker cp into forum-nginx → verify). No build step; web/ ships as-is.
Two things to know before you touch it, both documented at length in the script header:
- It's ephemeral. Content lives in the container's own layer (like blobbo/glytch), so a
docker compose up --force-recreateor nginx image bump wipes it — re-run the script. The durable fix is a bind mount inforum/docker-compose.yml(what cratewars/roguelike use), which costs a forum-nginx recreate and brief partly.party downtime. - A 404 there returns HTTP 200. nginx's catch-all
try_files ... /index.htmlserves the arcade index for any missing file. Verify on content, never on status codes.
