What it does

curves

Pure maths for the five difficulty curves (steady, steep, stepped, breather, flat). at(name, wave, strength) turns a wave number into count, pace, speed, health and damage multipliers plus a rest flag for breather waves; series gives a whole curve for graphs and scaleCount rounds a scaled enemy count up. The waves module and the Spawner call it to scale every wave and the trickle; games read it through SK.curve and SK.curveSeries.

clampAll(s: Scale) → Scale

arg	type	description
s	Scale

mk(count: number, pace: number, speed: number, health: number, damage: number, rest: boolean, level: number) → Scale

steady(w: number, k: number) → void

Steady: the same small step every wave.

arg	type	description
w	number
k	number

steep(w: number, k: number) → void

Steep: grows by a fixed percentage each wave, so it runs away fast.

arg	type	description
w	number
k	number

stepped(w: number, k: number) → void

Stepped: flat plateaus three waves long, then a big jump.

arg	type	description
w	number
k	number

breather(w: number, k: number) → void

Breather: climbs a little faster than steady, but every fourth wave is a rest wave with half the enemies at a gentle pace.

arg	type	description
w	number
k	number

flat(_w: number, _k: number) → void

Flat: every wave exactly as written. For tuning and tests.

arg	type	description
_w	number
_k	number

has(name: string) → boolean

Whether a curve name exists.

arg	type	description
name	string

at(name: string, wave: number, strength: number?) → Scale

The multipliers a curve gives one wave.

arg	type	description
name	string	A curve id: steady, steep, stepped, breather or flat.
wave	number	The wave number, counting from 1.
strength	number?	How hard the curve bites (1 = as designed, 0 = flat, 2 = twice as steep).

examples

Curves.at("steep", 5).count --> about 3.0

series(name: string, waves: number, strength: number?) → void

A whole curve as a list, for graphs: one Scale per wave.

arg	type	description
name	string
waves	number
strength	number?

scaleCount(base: number, s: Scale) → number

Apply a wave's scale to a base count (rounded up, never below 1 while base is above 0).

arg	type	description
base	number
s	Scale
