STAR Page

STAR joins reset progression with device functions. It presents launch yield, archived stars, Gifts and settings while hosting tilt-driven STAR RUSH.

Launch eligibility

Yield is derived from lifetime Sparks, so spending the current balance cannot remove eligibility. Square-root scaling prevents one short spike from skipping the whole middle game.

Double confirmation

The first tap arms launch for ten seconds and displays yield and remaining time. A second independent tap commits. Navigation, GIFTS/SETTINGS, timeout, ambient display or another device sequence disarms it.

Confirm → launch → save

The second confirmation locks input for 1.2 seconds. Ten `fx_loop` frames and particles play on the committed state; completion returns to SEED and highlights the new archive slot.

Archived stars

Every launch leaves a permanent star in the edge archive. Slots sit safely between navigation and FLUX arcs, so pulse bounds do not collide with the r223 STAR RUSH arc or r225–229 direction ticks.

STAR RUSH

QMI8658 tilt steers the Seed through Starlight. AUTO PILOT supplies minimum motion, RUDDER increases control, and STAR LENS plus BRIGHT LENS increase yield. The web can simulate tilt; hardware AUTO reads the physical sensor.

GIFTS and SETTINGS

Bottom circular entries switch to permanent Gifts or the device instrument. Neither coexists with an armed launch; entering either context disarms immediately so a hidden dangerous state cannot keep counting down.
