version: "1.0.1" description: Quick adjustments to game values - speeds, sizes, colors, difficulty

Quick Tweaks

Use this skill when the user wants to make simple adjustments to existing game elements. This is for iteration, not creation.

Trigger Phrases

Speed adjustments:

• "make it faster", "slow down", "speed up"
• "too fast", "too slow"
• "increase speed", "decrease speed"

Size adjustments:

• "make it bigger", "make it smaller"
• "too big", "too small"
• "scale up", "scale down"

Color changes:

• "change color to...", "make it red/blue/green"
• "darker", "lighter", "brighter"

Difficulty:

• "make it harder", "make it easier"
• "too easy", "too hard"
• "more challenging"

Quantity:

• "more enemies", "fewer enemies"
• "spawn faster", "spawn slower"

Quick Reference: Common Tweaks

Speed Adjustments

Typical multipliers:

• "a bit faster" = 1.25x
• "faster" = 1.5x
• "much faster" = 2x
• "a bit slower" = 0.8x
• "slower" = 0.5x

Size Adjustments

manage_gameobject action="modify" target="[name]" scale=[x, y, z]

Typical multipliers:

• "a bit bigger" = 1.25x current
• "bigger" = 1.5x current
• "much bigger" = 2x current
• "smaller" = 0.75x current
• "much smaller" = 0.5x current

Note: When scaling, consider:

• Collider might need adjustment
• Speed might feel different at new scale
• Camera framing might need update

Color Changes

manage_gameobject action="set_component_property"
  target="[name]"
  component_name="MeshRenderer"
  component_properties={"MeshRenderer": {"material.color": [r, g, b, 1]}}

Color presets (RGBA 0-1):

Lighter/Darker:

• Lighter: Multiply each RGB by 1.3 (cap at 1)
• Darker: Multiply each RGB by 0.7

Difficulty Adjustments

"Make it harder":

• Increase enemy speed by 1.25x
• Decrease player health
• Increase enemy damage
• Faster spawn rates
• More enemies per wave

"Make it easier":

• Decrease enemy speed by 0.8x
• Increase player health
• Decrease enemy damage
• Slower spawn rates
• Fewer enemies per wave

Spawn Rate Adjustments

Find spawner script and modify:

public float spawnInterval = 3f; // Lower = more frequent
public int maxEnemies = 10;      // Higher = more on screen
public int spawnCount = 1;       // Higher = more per spawn

Adjustments:

• "spawn faster" = spawnInterval * 0.7
• "spawn slower" = spawnInterval * 1.5
• "more at once" = spawnCount + 1 or + 2

Implementation Pattern

1. Identify what to change

User: "make the player faster"
Target: Player GameObject
Property: speed in movement script

2. Get current value

manage_gameobject action="get_components" target="Player"
// Find the movement script and current speed value

3. Calculate new value

Current: 5
Request: "faster"
Multiplier: 1.5x
New value: 7.5

4. Apply change

manage_script action="read" name="PlayerMovement"
// Edit the script to change the default, OR
// Use manage_gameobject to change instance value

5. Confirm to user

"I increased the player speed from 5 to 7.5 (50% faster).
Try it out - let me know if you want it even faster!"

Batch Tweaks

When user says "make everything faster/bigger":

1. Identify all relevant objects
2. Apply consistent multiplier to each
3. Report all changes made

Example for "make enemies faster":

Found 3 enemy types:
- BasicEnemy: 3 -> 4.5
- FastEnemy: 6 -> 9
- Boss: 2 -> 3
All enemies are now 50% faster.

Script Modification Patterns

Changing a public variable default

Read the script, find the line:

public float speed = 5f;

Change to:

public float speed = 7.5f;

Changing a serialized instance value

If value is set per-instance in the inspector:

manage_gameobject action="set_component_property"
  target="Player"
  component_name="PlayerMovement"
  component_properties={"PlayerMovement": {"speed": 7.5}}

Communication Style

Always tell user:

1. What was changed
2. From what value to what value
3. How to test it
4. Offer further adjustment

Examples:

• "Doubled the asteroid speed from 2 to 4. They'll fall much faster now!"
• "Made the player 50% bigger. The hitbox scaled too, so collisions still work."
• "Changed all enemies from red to purple. Looking spooky!"
• "Increased difficulty: enemies are faster, spawn more frequently, and deal more damage."
