[Feature]: More noticeable permission alert — jump animation + exclamation bubble + face camera
Author: splash-of-coffeeCreated May 31, 2026Updated May 31, 2026
Idea
When an agent requests permission approval, the current amber "..." bubble is easy to miss. I'd love a more attention-grabbing alert:
- Red exclamation bubble — replaces the "..." with a red "!" for urgency
- Jump animation — character bounces 3 times with decreasing height (~0.75s total)
- Face camera — character turns to face DOWN (toward the user) during permission state, then restores original direction when cleared
The effect feels like the character is startled and looking at you for help.
Implementation sketch
I have a working prototype that touches:
- New
bubble-alert.jsonsprite (red "!" on white, same 11×13 format) - Jump offset via sine wave with decay in
renderer.ts prePermissionDiron Character to save/restore facing direction- Constants:
PERMISSION_JUMP_HEIGHT_PX,PERMISSION_JUMP_DURATION_SEC,PERMISSION_BOUNCE_COUNT
Happy to open a PR if this fits the project's direction.
