D'oh!
Well if that wasn't exciting enough, here's the 3rd and final pic in the Golem update saga. The legs were attached today, and all that remains is limb animation and attacking code.
This time, I lowered Golem's HP to 1, so it fell apart on the first hit. The legs are treated as separate objects, so that part where I ran into it didn't count.  With no center body to be attached to, the arms simply fell to the ground where you can knock 'em around a bit. I'm still undecided whether the movement animation will be scripted or employ the physics engine in some way.

| It may have been thrown forward and past the depth of the screen? |

| Right now, the body fragments are programmed to disappear after 100 video frames. They have the exact same characteristics as tree leaves to save memory. At the cost of 11 bytes, I could add a few "frag" object type that would stay on-screen a bit longer. |

What you have more in the game engine? |

The new "frag" object was added. Parts will linger on-screen a bit longer. The flying pieces are harmful when the enemy explodes, and then go inert once they land. You can still kick them, though.
It'll give players a little something extra to watch out for when facing down heavy-hitters.

It's definitely one of my favorite new features. It's too bad I don't have sprite rotation, but that would be going a bit overboard for this game.
Be sure to regularly check out the spoiler-free Prologue section for new character bios. While I'm merging the 83+/82 codes, I'll add new characters every few days. |

Items Basics
More amazing features! New 83+ code for the game's item system was recently added.
To recap how things work here, there were basically 2 item classes: Food and Equipment. Foods provide an instant boost to HP or Energy, while Equipment works constantly in the background from the moment you pick it up. Brand new is the 3rd and final "Letter" class, which are papers you can read for special instructions, and other messages. In total you can store up to 9 items.
By popular demand, items become worn out as you level-up. All regular items are good for 10 level-ups before they become unusable. Only letters and plot-critical equipment never expire.
Before the level-up...
To demonstrate this, here's a typical inventory. There's a brand-new dairy pitcher with a full life bar, a letter that never expires (and needs no lifebar), a fish that is about half-way toward expiring, and some bread that will spoil very soon.
...during...
Now let's fight something! When Edgar defeats the squidge, he's promoted to LEVEL 1. The bread has now expired and gets auto-dropped from the list. Expired items will bounce around to grab your attention. Of course in the finished game, you could almost never have an item expire until LEVEL 10 to later, but this is just for illustration.
...after.
Finally, we re-check the list. The bread is gone before I got to use it. The pitcher and fish are slightly more worn, and the letter is unchanged.
