Improved Unit Orientation and Action States

May 18, 2026 - v0.9.4

Programming Game v0.9.4 improves unit orientation and animation handling, adds a facing field, and introduces idle and moving action states.

New Features

Added a new unit field, facing, to represent the direction a unit is looking.
- This field is measured in radians, with 0 pointing in the positive X direction.
- This field is currently used only to improve rendering in the 3D client.
Added new idle and moving actions to better capture what a unit is actually doing.
- Previously, we only had unit.intent, which indicates what a unit is trying to do.
- That was insufficient because units may move closer when they are out of range, or do nothing when they are stunned.
- unit.intent should now be used only for intentions, while unit.action tracks what the unit is actively doing.
Added a UnitActions enum to the exports from programming-game/types.

unit.action can no longer be null.
- Units now always have an action, and units doing nothing will be idle.
unit.intention can no longer be null.
- Units now always have an intention. Units taking no action will use IntentType.idle.
