Prompt sequence overview
Tower Defense: Core Keepers
Four towers with distinct roles, six shape-coded enemies, 20 waves, and two signature mechanics: Recoverable Cores and Overcharge.
What the sequence builds
- Recoverable Cores: an enemy that reaches your vault steals one of your 8 cores and walks it back to the spawn gate. Kill it and the core floats home.
- Overcharge: 3x fire rate on one tower, on hotkey Q.
- Every gameplay number lives in one file,
src/settings.js, so you balance the game by editing numbers, not code. - Each prompt quotes the numbers it needs. The values are the ones the bot-tested build shipped with.
How each step works
Paste one prompt. Do its Test checkpoint in the browser. If it passes, commit. If it fails, use the Fix Loop: three tries, then roll back.
This page lists the step titles only. The full prompt text, test checkpoints, and tuning numbers are in the kit's PROMPTS.md and GUIDE.pdf.
