Seated Fortune Session
The room interaction opens a fixed first-person view across the table. No player
position, camera or bankroll state is modified. Escape or Exit returns to walking.
All runtime input, random card selection, state transitions and rendering are MASM
in src_graphics/fortune_dialog.inc; Python only compiles offline image assets.
Tarot
Enter a question (up to 240 CP1251 characters), then Ask or Enter. The question stays visible under the table for the entire reading and cannot change midway. Three distinct major arcana are selected in assembly, each with an orientation. The 22 symbolic illustrations have separately packed 180-degree reversed faces.
Sequence: shuffle 3.2 s; deal cards individually 1 s each; turn a card over 0.8 s; show its name, orientation and honest unavailable explanation 3.6 s; repeat for the next two cards; show the overall-answer placeholder; finish. Continue can advance a completed speech, never skip a deal or a flip. Again clears the question only after completion; Selection can return to the choice of scenes at any time.
Speech is composited beside the teller, not an OS window. Its border grows with the visible text. Characters reveal every 28 ms with a short upward pop. Rendering does not advance timers: the session updates from the game clock, with bounded steps after stalls. No neural worker or algorithmic reading generator is called.
Crystal Ball
The second selection raises a crystal ball and animates gloved hands with swirling blue mist. It ends with an explicit unavailable-result line. There is no real student grading, inference of merit, identity form or automated academic decision. Again replays the visual sequence. This limitation is deliberate, not a hidden random grade presented as a judgement.
Assets
Generated source art and production prompts: assets/sprites/fortune/.
Offline packer: tools/generators/pack_fortune_session.py.
Runtime packs: assets/animations/fortune/ (ANM1 format).
Forty authored poses are arranged on one shared anchored 8x5 sheet. Shared-canvas in-betweens yield 64 shuffle, 32 deal, 32 gesture and 32 orb-hand frames. Sixteen mist frames, 44 oriented card faces, a back and a 640x480 room complete the scene. Art loads only when seated and all seven packs are freed on exit/shutdown. The seated view is independent of the walking room's existing asset packs and map.
Verification
Run C:/Python314/python.exe tools/tests/check_hall_expansion.py after packing.
The fresh native x86 harness exercises real WM_CHAR input, length/backspace,
empty/double submission, all stage transitions, card uniqueness, speech growth,
question persistence, crystal-ball stages, exit during animation, asset cleanup
and unchanged player position/bank. It writes actual framebuffer BMP/PNG captures
and a 64-frame shuffle GIF under build/hall-expansion/. Python additionally checks
native-frame differences, question pixels, pack integrity and reversed artwork.
--parity checks these tested procedures against the shipping game object.
The old multi-gigabyte neural ZIP is not rebuilt by this feature. Distributions
must include the new assets/animations/fortune/ directory with the updated game.
