Phase 3: look command now collects alive mob positions using the same
wrapping-aware relative position calc as players, and renders them as *
with the same priority as other players (after @ but before effects).
Phase 2: do_attack now searches the mobs registry after players dict
when resolving a target name. Players always take priority over mobs
with the same name. World instance injected into combat/commands module
for wrapping-aware mob proximity checks.
Phase 1 of fightable mobs: MobTemplate dataclass loaded from TOML,
global mobs list, spawn_mob/despawn_mob/get_nearby_mob with
wrapping-aware distance. Mob entity gets moves and next_action_at fields.
The variant handler now supports prefix matching for directional variants.
This allows 'pa hi' to match 'parry high', 'pa lo' to match 'parry low', etc.
Implementation:
- First tries exact match on variant key
- Falls back to prefix matching if no exact match
- Returns unique match if exactly one variant starts with the prefix
- Shows disambiguation message if multiple variants match
- Shows error with valid options if no variants match
Tests cover exact match, prefix match, ambiguous prefix, no match,
single-char prefix, case-insensitivity, and preservation of target args.
Defense moves now asyncio.sleep for timing_window_ms instead of using
a cooldown field. Input queues naturally since the per-player loop is
sequential. Outside combat shows "parry the air!" flavor text.
- Set variant defense registration to mode="*" (both attacks and defenses)
- Strengthen telegraph switch test to verify new move's telegraph text
- Remove unused punch parameter from four idle timeout tests
- Use single time.monotonic() call in attack() method
Encounters track last_action_at (updated on attack and defend). If 30
seconds pass with no actions, combat fizzles out with a message to both
players and combat mode is popped. start_encounter initializes the
timestamp so fresh encounters don't immediately timeout.
Defenses now work outside combat mode with stamina cost, recovery lock
(based on timing_window_ms), and broadcast to nearby players. Lock
prevents spamming defenses — you commit to the move. Stamina deduction
moved from encounter.defend() to do_defend command layer. Defense
commands registered with mode="*" instead of "combat".
Attacker can change their move mid-telegraph or mid-window without
resetting the timer. Old move's stamina is refunded, new move charged.
Defender gets a fresh telegraph on switch. Feedback says "switch to"
instead of "use" when swapping attacks.
resolve() returns ResolveResult dataclass with attacker_msg, defender_msg,
damage, countered, and combat_ended fields. process_combat is now async
and sends messages to both participants on resolve. Counter, hit, and
slam messages give each player their own perspective on what happened.
The DREAMBOOK always described "punch right/left [target]" as one command
with a direction argument, but the implementation had separate TOML files
and multi-word command names that the dispatcher couldn't reach (it only
matches the first word). Aliases like "pr" also couldn't pass targets
because the shared handler tried to re-derive the move from args.
Changes:
- Merge punch_left/right, dodge_left/right, parry_high/low into single
TOML files with [variants] sections
- Add command/variant fields to CombatMove for tracking move families
- load_move() now returns list[CombatMove], expanding variants
- Handlers bound to moves via closures at registration time:
variant handler for base commands (punch → parses direction from args),
direct handler for aliases and simple moves (pr → move already known)
- Core logic in do_attack/do_defend takes a resolved move
- Combat doc rewritten as rst with architecture details
- Simplify mud.tin aliases (pr/pl/etc are built-in MUD commands now)
Integrates the Editor class into the MUD server's shell loop, allowing
players to enter and use the text editor from the game.
Changes:
- Add editor field to Player dataclass
- Modify shell input loop to check player mode and route to editor
- Add edit command to enter editor mode from normal mode
- Use inp (not command.strip()) for editor to preserve indentation
- Show line-numbered prompt in editor mode
- Pop mode and clear editor when done=True
- Add comprehensive integration tests
- Fix test isolation issue in test_movement_updates_position
