FRIENDLY FIRE

Two independent AI streams (jev model from TypeSafe) choose a movement direction (8 directions or stop) and a specific enemy or explosive crate to shoot, at roughly twice a second. Ruby does not use grenades. Ruby recovers health and ammo through these movement choices. The AI only receives the game state and a personality prompt. A Help call adds a high-priority instruction to Ruby’s movement prompt until she reaches the player. The game handles aim tracking, reload, dodge, and collision autonomously.

All Ruby and Chief JEV request attempts are counted on this browser from first load, including failed attempts. After a zone or game failure, a total over 10,000 requires a validated personal API key or the remembered unsafe override. Reloading or starting a new game does not reset this total. Each run allows up to 4,000 decision queries shared by movement and combat, including failed attempts. At the limit, further decision queries and reconnect attempts stop. Enter the dead zone or restart to reset the allowance. Ruby's decisions stop when paused or down. If the network link fails or a decision arrives too late while she is standing, Ruby stops normal movement and combat (she blanks-out). Her emergency grenade-escape reflex remains active. Reconnection is automatic one second after every failed attempt. Normal tactics resume when fresh commands arrive. Ruby's quips are AI generated based on game state.
