geebr.world v14 — Turn-Based LLM Toybox

Based on v13.2 stackfix.

New in v14

• Turn-based command loop for LLM control.
• One command runs, physics resolves for a short window, then the world settles/freezes.
• Characters no longer use physics impulse walking by default; they step tile-by-tile with deterministic tween motion.
• Character colliders are animated bodies, reducing sliding/momentum drift.
• Props still use physics impulses during a turn, but velocities are zeroed at turn end.
• New UI: turn mode checkbox, turn status, manual settle button.
• Public API kept and extended:

window.runCommand("walk n")
window.executeCommand({ kind: "spell", spell: "fireball" })
window.stepTurn({ kind: "push" })
window.endTurn()
window.getAgentPerception()

Run

cd geebr_v14_turn_based
python3 -m http.server 8080

Open http://localhost:8080

v14.1 fix

• Fixed turn-based walking snapping back to the original position.
• Character position is now committed to an authoritative logicalPos at the end of each tile step.
• The invisible Havok character collider is treated as a follower of the logical tile position instead of the source of truth.
• Public API unchanged: window.runCommand, window.executeCommand, window.stepTurn, window.endTurn, window.getAgentPerception.

v14.2 fix

• Characters now rotate to face the direction they are walking.
• Facing is updated for both KayKit rigged characters and fallback procedural Geebrs.
• Perception grid now uses simple line-of-sight occlusion.
• Walls, stone blocks, rubble/rocks, and large solid building pieces block sight.
• The wall/blocking cell itself remains visible, but tiles/objects behind it become ? / unknown.

Run command remains:

cd geebr_v14_turn_based
python3 -m http.server 8080

v14.3 patch

• Facing-aware perception cone added
• 1-tile awareness bubble added
• LOS still blocks vision through walls

v14.4 patch

• Hidden/unseen cells render as blank spaces
• Perception text grid rotates with facing so the top is always forward
• Rows behind the agent stay mostly blank instead of filled with unknown markers

v14.5 patch

• Perception panel is fixed north-up again
• Hidden cells remain blank spaces
• Facing still controls what is visible, but the text UI no longer rotates with the agent

Current dev server

Use the custom geebr server on port 8000 so WebLLM model assets can be proxied same-origin:

cd /files/geebr.world
python3 geebr_server.py 8000

Open:

http://localhost:8000

v14.6 (current)

• Speaking animation now driven by TTS events: speechstart/speechend from Pocket-TTS set g.speaking, play the talk rig animation for the real audio duration, and oscillate the head bone Y-scale (~14Hz) as a mouth flapping effect.
• say() calls geebrTTS.speak() when TTS is loaded; falls back to a 900ms talk pose otherwise.
• Speech bubbles now use a fixed 42px screen-space offset above the projected head (was fixed world-space 1.7 units that drifted with ortho zoom). APNG recorder unaffected.
• All 8 KayKit animation packs are loaded (General, MovementBasic, MovementAdvanced, CombatRanged, CombatMelee, Tools, Simulation, Special).
• New emote(name) command: dance, laugh, sit, wave, clap, cheer, sleep, bow. Mapped to real KayKit clips (Cheering, Sit_Floor_, Lie_, Waving, Interact, Push_Ups, Sit_Ups, Use_Item).
• LLM agents see emote(name) in their command examples and can use it like any other command.
• Dead root-level duplicates removed (app.js, style.css, recorder.js at repo root; live copies under app/).
