Round

The clock of the night, and the verdict at the end of it. One instance, on the scene's mount_rules.

While the phase is playing it advances Core.state.roundTime and derives Core.state.dawn from it — 0 in deep night, 1 at first light — over roundSeconds (Core.ROUND_SECONDS, 150 by default). Everything else on the hill reads that one number: game.world.Dawn pushes the sky and the sun from it, Core.lightZ() turns it into the light-line walking down from the summit, and game.rules.GlewField burns off whatever that line has reached.

The verdict

When dawn reaches 1 the round ends, in this order:

1. Core.state.dawn is pinned at 1.
2. Core.state.tier is stamped from the lantern — Core.tierFor(lantern), which is gold at 75, silver at 50, bronze at 30 and nil under that.
3. Core.state.best takes the lantern if this was the best night so far.
4. firstlight is emitted — before the phase moves, so game.staging.Beats can set Core.state.cutscene and take the camera for the crest.
5. The phase becomes won when there is a tier and lost when there is not.

game.ui.Screens shows the end card once the phase is won/lost and Core.state.cutscene is false, which is how the resolution shot gets to play before the card.

Starting over

Entering playing from anything other than paused resets the round, so a replay from the end card, from the title, or straight from the Play button all start the same night. Coming back from paused does not: the clock picks up where it stopped.
