- [x] Need to add help text when user types "help". This should give them some common commands and explain the concepts behind text adventure games. It should also include an exceprt at the beginning from the opening text.  "You arrive at the address, but you do not remember what has happened. The road behind you is gone...". The help text should disappear after the user types a new prompt (i.e., it's not persistent).
- [x] Need to add  the tiles from mobile to desktop view.
- [x] Enhance tiles with contextual awareness, enabling tiles to appear in rooms when appropriate (e.g. "attack rat").
- [x] Add a tile for USE 
- [x] Add a footer with "By [Ethan J Lewis](https://ethanjlewis.com) | [Source Code](https://half.st/ejlewis/halfstreet) | [GNU General Public License v3.0](https://half.st/ejlewis/halfstreet/src/branch/main/LICENSE)"
- [x] Add "Half Street" as ASCII Art to the intro text.
- [x] Add logic to make the last sentence in the examined description conditional. This is where we'll list items in the room. (e.g., "The hallway runs further than the house should be wide. The dust on the floor is undisturbed except where you have walked. *The oil lamp is on the side table.*")
- [x] Fix mobile - scrolling issue (page grows as the terminal grows).
- [x] Fix mobile - ascii text art at beginning too big to render
- [x] Feature: Ability to retain console history, e.g., scroll through previous commands with up and down arrows.
- [x] Feature: Grey italicized "type here..."  text that appears near the terminal if the user doesn't click into the terminal within 30 seconds of entering the game or click the help button. The text disappears once a user clicks in the terminal, or selects a card.
- [x] Change footer to "Copyright (C) 2026 [Ethan J Lewis](https://ethanjlewis.com) | [GNU 3.0](https://half.st/ejlewis/halfstreet/src/branch/main/LICENSE)| [Source Code](https://half.st/ejlewis/halfstreet)"
- [x] Wire up favicon
- [x] Feature: Provide ability to change cursor type. Block, underline, and whatever we have now.
- [x] Feature: Move cursor selection and screen toggle to option menu. Put the option menu where the screen toggle currently is. Give it a gear icon and let it be a tile.
- [x] Bug: gear icon too small.
- [x] Bug: option for cursor should show cursor in terminal when option menu is open.
- [x] Bug: cursor toggle not affecting the cursor at all.
- [x] Bug: idle text appearing above the tiles instead of in the terminal line.
- [x] Feature: / brings focus to terminal
- [x] Feature: Add "Restart" option to option menu
- [x] Bug: gear icon is still wayyyyyyy toooo smallllll it needs to be like 4x larger at least.
- [x] Add a "wait" tile.
- [x] If the user says "light match" or "light match" the response should be "use match with what?"
- [x] If the user says "use match with letter" they should burn the letter.
- [x] There should be a lighter in the smoking room that allows unlimited lighting.
- [x] Create a mechanic that asks "Are you sure?" before taking critical actions like attacking or other game-changing mechanics that might affect the final ending.
- [ ] Add lightened descriptions to darkened rooms. About half the rooms should be too dark to see anything (affects ability to move forward, can't see exits or encounters, except for maybe hints at the encounters, like sounds or shapes in the dark) Add frontmatter property to all rooms: (dark: true/false). Make text in darkened rooms a grey color.
- [ ] Implement a simple "stealth mechanic", where sometimes it's advantageous to have the light out.
- [ ] Implement a simple (optional?) minimap in the UI? - Maybe tied to an item? Once you get the map the minimap appears? Can we POC it?
- [x] Add a mechanic where after the player waits 3 times or moves six times the light goes out and needs to be relit. Or something along those lines. We need a sense of time. Maybe some situations blow out the light
- [ ] Add attack options for most encounters. Rarely this will be a good idea though. 
- [ ] Add a failure condition for attacking at the wrong time. Make the reasons for the failure condition contextual, for example, when they attack the stair sleeper they might trip on the stair and get injured. 
- [ ] Add contextual awareness and autocomplete. For example a popup that appears above the USE text or when a user types "use". The user is able to autofill the rest of the thing by using the keyboard to toggle through the inv list and tab-complete the option, (or tap on mobile) "e.g. use (matches, light, letter) *on* (lamp)" - the word "on" there being suggested. Suggestions for autocomplete are in italics. This is one modern design element we're going to add.
- [ ] Add a Notebook function. Automatically make notes as the game progresses.
- [ ] Implement a carry mechanic. Decide whether we should have a limited carry ability (only able to carry a few things?) or we night need a full inventory system, where items are assigned to pockets or hand carry and we can only hand carry a couple of items?
- [x] Implement a "drop" mechanic in order to drop items. Dropped items remain in the room in which they were dropped and can be picked up again.
- [x] We need a light indicator that shows when the light is lit and how much time is left on the light. Use the svg file I dropped in the src/assets folder for the indicator. The indicator should be a 6-segment led that runs in a dotted line underneath the light indicator and burns out right to left. The color of the indicator should be bright when it's lit and dim when it's not. The indicator should be to the right of the tiles and sized appropriately.
- [x] FEATURE: Add an option to disable the chips in the options menu.
- [x] BUG: The new cursor doesn't appear on mobile.
- [ ] FEATURE: Add a Safe to somewhere that it makes sense (the bedroom?) We can add a safe-cracking mini-game. The safe contains a single bullet, which can be used with the revolver. 
- [ ] FEATURE: Add item Revolver, which can be used to kill the thing at the end. It comes with no bullets, so players need to defeat the safe-cracking minjgame. Place the revolver somewhere it takes the player some effort to find. 
- [ ] Feature: A faceless voice that speaks in a whisper in the smoking room, which demands whiskey and dispenses riddles if the player finds a bottle of whiskey (but hasn't drunk it yet). The riddles are randomly chosen from a list of 25 difficult riddles (source them). If the riddle is answered correctly there needs to be some reward and maybe a major plot point is revealed. 
- [x] Add item Whiskey bottle, half full of something smoky. In the kitchen. Drinking it gets the player drunk, which causes them to unlock the drunk rooms, which are a series of rooms where they can go many directions, but somehow end up in seemingly back in the same spot. They are essentially a maze of doors and hallways, ladders and levels. There should be boundaries established though, it shouldn't be endless. After 20 or so moves the player passes out and wakes up back in the foyer, with the whiskey bottle returned to the kitchen, somehow still half full. Add a random encounter in the dark rooms, a creaking floorboard helps you find a secret door that opens with a faceless man inside who gives you major plot info. After this encounter you pass out and wake up in the lobby as before. When the player is "drunk" the text on the terminal should appear blurry, like the user has double vision. 
- [ ] Set up BugPin as a self-hosted visual bug reporter for the site, then have incoming reports create markdown files under `src/world/bugs/` via a webhook or API bridge so bugs can be tracked in git alongside the game content. Include screenshot/annotation metadata in the markdown and decide whether these bug docs stay outside the world loader or get their own loader later.
- [ ] BUG: It says the door closes behind you when you enter the lobby, but you can still exit S to the gate.
- [x] FEATURE: Add a short "typed" effect to the text. Make it look like it's being typed out, if that makes sense, one character at a time. The effect should be brief. 
- [x] FEATURE: Whenever you change rooms, scroll the text so the name of the room you're in is at the top. Users can scroll up to see the history. This should be an effect where the old text slides up to make room for the new text, and this should happen before the "typed" effect.
- [ ] Open-source authoring architecture: follow [[open-source-authoring-roadmap]] to move as much story, parser, mechanic, action, and UI configuration as practical into markdown under `src/world` so authors can control it from Obsidian.
