Hexagonal gradients aren't actually a thing, but 6 linear gradients
are a thing. Render them in high-res to minimize the effect of
anti-aliasing gaps, and then shrink them to fit.
- Eliminate health and breath stat bars.
- Players NO LONGER DIE FROM INJURY.
- Players no longer lose walking speed or mobility.
- Players lose inventory slots in proportion to injury; they're
stuffed with an "injury" item, and items they displace are
ejected. Slots are displaced in random order.
- Healing rate is much faster, so players are usually mildly
inconvenienced by injury, but can soon enough pick up their
stuff and leave.
- Health and breath HUDs are gone. Health is visible based on
number of lost slots, and breath uses a vignette to narrow
tunnel vision for O2 loss.
Overall, the old health system has been more of an immersion-
breaking annoyance than anything. This allows health to get out
of the way of the primary gameplay.
UNFINISHED: Need a replacement for the old "suicide to get unstuck"
mechanic.
On android (and possibly other very high DPI displays) the position
of the HUD is calculated incorrectly for text HUDs. According to
rubenwardy, "the HUD sucks", so it seems unlikely that this will
get fixed soon. Switch to using a sequence of image HUDs and a
bitmap font to render the hotbar text. This is currently limited,
but expandable.
- Inventory screen is now no longer game-interactive, and serves
as purely an "about" screen.
- Move the HUD components out of inv mod and into hud mod.
- Separate player setup mod for static physical limitations like
step height, inv size, etc.
