2d Roguelike Enemies Ai
Fill the room with things that fight back. Build an EnemyBase state machine that chases, telegraphs and attacks with its own hitbox. Then build four archetypes that all reuse it: a Grunt, a fast Skitterling, a charging bruiser, and a boss. Everything runs on the combat pipeline you already built.

2D Roguelike: Rooms & Dungeon
Quest 4 of 7 in the 2D Roguelike campaign.
Turn your test arena into a real dungeon. Build a DungeonRoom that generates its own floor, border walls and interior layout from code on a TileMapLayer. Add doors that lock while a wave is alive and open the instant the room is cleared. Then chain rooms into a room-to-room descent that ends at a boss. Reuses the enemies and the clear signal from Course 3.
