A foe whose corpse keeps hurting — the definitive colon enemy. C. diff drifts with a corrosive aura like any floater, but on death it leaves a SPORE_CLOUD: a static acid-green zone that damages anything in it for ~5s, then disperses. Killing it costs you the ground it died on (shoot the cloud to clear it, or fly around). - enemies.js: two archetypes. `cdiff` (amber octahedron, shares the floater drift+aura branch) drops a `spore_cloud` in kill(), placed at the death spot. `spore_cloud` (acid-green per the readability law, foe:false so the phage ignores it and clearing it never scores) is static, damages on contact, and counts down a `life`. Entities gained a `life` field (only the cloud uses it). - levels/enemies.js: ARCHETYPES += cdiff; catalogue `cdiff_bloom` (biome large_intestine — registered for L5's encounter pass, not shoehorned into the esophagus). Verified: killing a cdiff dropped a cloud at its death spot; sitting in it dropped coat 100->89; the cloud expired after its life. Amber octahedron vs acid-green blob — clean read.

// levels/enemies.js (Lane C) — the enemy CATALOGUE: fiction id → archetype + skin.
|
|
//
|
|
// WHY THIS EXISTS: level JSONs name enemies in fiction ("bolus_chunk"), not in mechanics
|
|
// ("floater"). This is the join table between the two, and nothing more.
|
|
//
|
|
// OWNERSHIP (settled with Lane B's round-1 work, see LANE_C_NOTES.md §→ Lane B):
|
|
// Lane B owns MECHANICS — hp, radius, speed, damage, fire rate, score. They live in
|
|
// combat/balance.js, tuned against B's cannon and B's feel numbers, and they are keyed by
|
|
// ARCHETYPE. This file deliberately does NOT restate them: an hp of "2 shots" here and an
|
|
// hp of 24 there (against damage 12) is the same number twice, which is one number too
|
|
// many. If you want to know what a bolus chunk can take, ask balance.js.
|
|
// Lane C owns COMPOSITION — which fiction appears, how many, where, in what order, and
|
|
// what it is called. That is this file plus the level JSONs.
|
|
//
|
|
// LANE B: resolve a spawn with `getEnemy(ev.enemy)?.archetype` — one line, snippet in
|
|
// LANE_C_NOTES.md §→ Lane B. The three bare archetype names also resolve (passthrough
|
|
// entries at the bottom), so the round-0 stub level and anything already built against it
|
|
// keep working unchanged.
|
|
//
|
|
// Pure data + pure functions: no imports, no THREE. Must stay node-runnable (qa selfcheck).
