V1.13.0: a campaign page in parts, pop-outs, and a search

- The campaign page shows one part at a time, picked from a row of
  buttons under its name: Overview (characters and encounters), NPCs,
  Locations, Weapons, Items, Spells, Monsters, Notes and Settings for
  the DM; Overview, Places and Notes for a player. Each button counts
  what is in its part. On a phone the row scrolls sideways. The part
  showing is in the address (?view=weapons), so the back button steps
  through the parts.
- NPCs, weapons, items, spells and monsters are lists of short rows.
  Clicking a row opens a pop-out with everything about it and
  everything that can be changed. Adding one, by hand or from the
  library, is a pop-out too: a window on a wide screen, the whole
  screen on a phone.
- "Search this campaign" looks through everything added to the
  campaign at once: characters, encounters, locations and notes, and
  for the DM also NPCs, weapons, items, spells and monsters. Each of
  the DM's lists has a search box of its own as well.
- With three pages or more, the page number of a paged list is a menu
  to jump straight to any page.
- The invite code, the party and archive or delete are under Settings.
- A weapon's properties and range, and a spell's casting time, range
  and duration, are shown in its pop-out.
- All packages at version 1.13.0.

+## Getting around
+
+The same four destinations are always on screen: **Campaigns** (the list),
+**Campaign** and **Party** (for the campaign you were last in, from any page,
+including a character sheet or an encounter) and **Account**.
+
+- On a wide screen they are links along the top bar, and the dice roller
+  floats at the bottom left.
+- On a phone or small tablet (900px wide or less) they are a bar along the
+  bottom of the screen, with the **dice roller** as its last button. Nothing
+  floats over the page: the 🧙 character button sits in the top bar.
+- The **🧙 character button** is on every page (floating at the bottom right
+  on a wide screen). It opens a panel with your character's numbers and
+  everything they hold; the DM can open it for any character.
+- The **campaign page shows one part at a time**, picked from a row of
+  buttons under its name: Overview (characters and encounters), NPCs,
+  Locations, Weapons, Items, Spells, Monsters, Notes and Settings for the DM;
+  Overview, Places and Notes for a player. Each button shows how many things
+  are in that part. On a phone the row is one line that scrolls sideways. The
+  part showing is in the address (`?view=weapons`), so it can be bookmarked
+  and the back button steps through the parts.
+- **Search this campaign**, the box above that row, looks through everything
+  that has been added to the campaign at once: characters, encounters,
+  locations and notes, and for the DM also NPCs, weapons, items, spells and
+  monsters. It matches names and descriptions, every word typed, in any
+  order. A result opens that thing. Each of the DM's lists also has a search
+  box of its own.
+- The DM's lists (NPCs, weapons, items, spells, monsters) are short rows: a
+  name and a few words. **Clicking a row opens a pop-out** with everything
+  about it and everything that can be changed. Adding one, by hand or from the
+  library, is a pop-out too. A pop-out is a window over the page on a wide
+  screen and the whole screen on a phone; ✕, Escape or a click outside it
+  closes it.
+- Every paged list has Prev and Next, and with three pages or more the page
+  number is a menu to **jump straight to any page**.
+- The character sheet is long, so it starts with a row of **section links**
+  that jump straight to that part of the page.
+- On a small screen every table (weapons, items, spells, monsters, the party
+  overview) is shown as a stack of cards, one per row, with each figure
+  labelled, and rows of controls wrap rather than run off the side.

+### At 0 HP: death saves
+
+A character at 0 HP is in one of three states, shown on the sheet under the
+HP bar, on their encounter card, in the quick stats and in the party lists.
+
+| State | Meaning | How it ends |
+|---|---|---|
+| Dying | Rolling death saves | Three successes, three failures, healing, or being stabilised |
+| Stable | At 0 HP, no longer rolling | Healing wakes them; damage makes them Dying again |
+| Dead | Three failures, or one blow too big to survive | The DM's **Revive at 1 HP**, or an ally's reviving spell in a battle |
+
+**Rolling.** While Dying, type what the d20 showed and click **Death save**.
+The app does not roll it.
+
+| Roll | Result |
+|---|---|
+| 1 | Two failures |
+| 2 to 9 | One failure |
+| 10 to 19 | One success |
+| 20 | Back up with 1 HP, tallies cleared |
+
+- **Three successes:** Stable. The tallies are cleared.
+- **Three failures:** Dead.
+- **Stabilise** makes a Dying character Stable without a roll, for when
+  someone steadies them (a Medicine check, a healer's kit, a spell).
+- **Damage at 0 HP** is one failed save, and makes a Stable character Dying
+  again. Damage soaked entirely by temp HP does not count. The app cannot tell
+  a critical hit; the DM adds its second failure by clicking a pip.
+- **Massive damage:** if a blow leaves as much as the character's max HP
+  still to take once HP reaches 0, they are Dead at once. A character with
+  12 max HP on 5 HP dies from 17 damage or more.
+- **Healing** from 0, by any amount, puts the character back up and clears
+  the tallies and Stable.
+- **Dead** characters cannot be healed: Heal is refused with a message. The
+  DM clicks **Revive at 1 HP**, then heals as normal. In a battle, an ally
+  with a reviving spell can do the same on their own turn, and until then the
+  dead are hidden from the players' encounter screen: see
+  [ENCOUNTERS.md](ENCOUNTERS.md), section 6.

+- The sheet's Money card shows the three balances, what the purse is worth in

+  recorded it, when, and that coin's balance afterwards.
+- Only the **DM** records a gain or a spend, choosing the coin: a player
+  cannot add money to their own purse or write it off. A player's money
+  moves by exchanging coins, giving to another character, and trading with
+  an NPC; it arrives from the DM, an encounter reward, a gift or an NPC.
+  Other players cannot see the purse or the log.
+- **Spending makes change for you.** A spend (or a gift to another character)
+  is paid from the whole purse. Coins of the kind named go first; if there
+  aren't enough, the nearest bigger coin is broken and the change comes back
+  in as few coins as possible; if there are no bigger coins, smaller ones are
+  counted out. Spending 3 silver from a purse of 5 gold leaves 4 gold and 7
+  silver. Each coin that moved gets its own log entry, marked "with change".
+- A spend is refused only when the **whole purse** isn't worth enough.
+- **Exchange** turns coins of one kind into another at the worth above, and
+  logs both sides. It moves exactly the coins named and has to come to whole
+  coins: silver into gold goes in tens, copper into silver in tens, copper
+  into gold in hundreds.
+- The log is the only way a balance changes. Entries cannot be edited or
+  deleted; to correct a mistake, the DM records the opposite entry.
+- Starting gold (a campaign setting) is gold only. Encounter rewards and gifts
+  between characters can be in any coin, or in cash.
+- **Cash ($)** is a fourth balance for crossover worlds, counted in whole
+  dollars and shown as `$40`. It is gained, spent, given and awarded like a
+  coin and has its own log entries, but it has no worth in coins: it cannot
+  be exchanged on the sheet, a cash spend is paid from cash alone, and cash

+
+**Area attacks**
+
+An attack on several targets is harder to land and its damage is shared.
+
+- **Harder to hit.** Every target's AC counts as higher for each target
+  beyond the first, by the campaign's **area attack AC penalty**. The DM sets
+  it in the campaign settings, from 0 (no penalty) to 10; it starts at 2, which

+  | 3 | +4 |
+  | 4 | +6 |
+
+  The attack bar shows the AC to beat with the penalty already added
+  ("17 (15 +2)"), and each target's card says "area attack, AC +2".
+- **Who was hit.** Each target has a tick box, ticked to begin with. Untick
+  anyone the roll missed; they take nothing.
+- **Sharing the amount.** Type the total. "Split between those hit" (the
+  default) shares it evenly, any remainder going one point each to the first
+  targets marked: 7 between three is 3, 2 and 2. "Full amount to each" gives
+  every target hit the whole amount. Each target's share is shown before it
+  is applied.

+- Trading is open only in an **NPC quest that is in progress**. Before "Begin
+  Quest" and after "Complete Quest" everything on offer is still shown, but
+  the buttons are off.

+  Trade card and the server refuses any trade; switching back brings it back.
+- An NPC trades only while they are **in the scene and not at 0 HP**.
+- The character trading has to be **in the encounter** and alive.
+

+when there is something to trade, and always for the DM in a quest.

+| 💱 A money changer | One row per NPC in the scene who has an exchange rate. Type an amount, choose "gold into cash" or "cash into gold", and the button shows what comes back |
+| 🛒 "<NPC> sells" | Everything that NPC has for sale: what it is, its level and dice, the price, and how many are left. "Buy" buys one |
+| 🛒 "For sale here" | Things sold by the scene itself rather than by anyone in it |
+| Set up (DM only) | Puts weapons and items from the campaign pools up for sale at this encounter, and edits their price and stock |
+
+- **Changing money** uses the NPC's own rate, the same both ways, and only
+  gold and cash: no silver, no copper, no change. The amount handed over has
+  to be a whole multiple of that side of the rate. The full rules and
+  examples are in [NPCS.md](NPCS.md), section 5.
+- **Buying** pays the price from the character's purse (coins make change; a
+  cash price takes cash only), adds the weapon or item to what the character
+  holds at the level it is sold at, and uses up stock. A character below that
+  level holds it but cannot use it yet.
+- Every trade is written to the character's money log.
+- **An NPC's rate and wares are set on the campaign page**, in the NPC's
+  pop-out, and follow the NPC into every quest they are in. **An
+  encounter's own wares are set here**, in the DM's part of the card, and
+  exist only in this encounter: a market stall, a vending machine, a chest

+is in progress**, never in a battle, and only with an NPC who is in the scene
+and not at 0 HP.
+
+### Changing money
+
+An NPC with an **exchange rate** changes gold into cash ($) and cash into
+gold. The rate is two whole numbers, "this much gold = this much cash", and
+each NPC has their own, so one money changer can be a better deal than
+another.
+
+| Rate | Hand over | Get |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 gold = $5 | 3 gold | $15 |
+| 1 gold = $5 | $20 | 4 gold |
+| 2 gold = $15 | 6 gold | $45 |
+| 2 gold = $15 | $30 | 4 gold |
+
+- The same rate is used both ways.
+- **Only gold and cash.** Silver and copper are not taken, a gold coin is not
+  broken to make up an amount, and no change is given.
+- What is handed over has to be a whole multiple of that side of the rate: at
+  2 gold = $15, gold goes in twos and cash in fifteens.
+- Both sides go on the character's money log, naming the NPC: "Changed with
+  Vex for $45" and "Changed with Vex from 6 gold".
+- An NPC never runs out of gold or cash to change.
+- To set a rate, type both numbers under "Changes money" in the NPC's pop-out
+  and press "Save rate".
+  "Stop changing money" clears it. An NPC with no rate does not change money.
+
+### Selling
+
+An NPC's **wares** are weapons and items from the campaign's own pools, each
+put up for sale with:
+
+| Field | What it is |
+|---|---|
+| What | One weapon or item from the pool |
+| Level | The gear level it is handed over at, not below its starting level |
+| Price | For one, in gold, silver, copper or cash |
+| Stock | How many can be bought. Empty means no limit |
+
+- Wares belong to the NPC, not to an encounter: they are on offer in every
+  quest that NPC is in.
+- Buying pays the price from the character's purse, adds the weapon or item
+  to what they hold (stacking with any they already have) and lowers the
+  stock. A price in coins is paid with change, exactly like any other spend;
+  a price in cash takes cash only.
+- At 0 stock a ware shows as sold out and cannot be bought. It stays listed
+  until the DM removes it.
+- The ✕ beside a ware stops it being sold. Things already bought stay bought.
+- "Edit" beside a ware changes its price, the coin (or cash) the price is in,
+  and its stock: restock a sold-out ware, or clear the stock for no limit.
+  What is sold, its level and who sells it cannot be changed; remove the ware
+  and put it up again for that.
+- Removing a weapon or item from the campaign pool removes it from sale
+  everywhere.

+# World Seeds
+
+A world seed is a ready-made campaign: locations, weapons, items, spells,
+monsters, NPCs with their wares, encounters with their rewards, and notes. A
+DM starts a campaign from one by typing its code.
+
+This describes the code as it stands. Related: [ITEMS.md](ITEMS.md),
+[WEAPONS.md](WEAPONS.md), [SPELLS.md](SPELLS.md), [MONSTERS.md](MONSTERS.md),
+[NPCS.md](NPCS.md), [ENCOUNTERS.md](ENCOUNTERS.md).

+7. [The worlds that come with the app](#7-the-worlds-that-come-with-the-app)
+
+---
+
+## 1. The basics
+
+- Every `.js` file in `/backend/seeds` is one world. The file says what its
+  **code** is: six capital letters or digits.
+- Anyone who is logged in and knows a code can create that world as a new
+  campaign. They become its DM and owner, exactly as with a blank campaign.
+- The same code can be used any number of times. Each use makes a separate
+  campaign with its own invite code; nothing is shared between copies.
+- A seed only says what a campaign **starts** as. Once created, the campaign
+  is the DM's to change, and changing the seed file later does not touch
+  campaigns already made from it.
+- The folder is read each time a code is entered, so a new file is live as
+  soon as it is on the server. No restart, no migration.
+
+## 2. Starting a campaign from a code
+
+On the **Campaigns** page, click **+ New Campaign**. Under the form for a
+blank campaign is **Or start from a ready-made world**: type the code and
+click **Create From Code**. Capitals and spaces do not matter (`aldenf`,
+`ALDENF` and `ald-enf` are the same code).
+
+The whole world is created in one go, and you land on its campaign page. If
+anything in it fails, nothing is created.
+
+| Reply | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| "A world code is 6 letters or numbers" | What was typed is not six characters long |
+| "There is no world with that code" | No valid seed file has that code |
+
+The API is `POST /campaigns/from-seed` with `{ "code": "ALDENF" }`. It
+answers with the new campaign, as `POST /campaigns` does.
+
+## 3. Adding a world
+
+1. Write the world as a file in `/backend/seeds`, for example
+   `/backend/seeds/my-world.js` (section 4).
+2. Run `npm run seeds:check` (section 5) and fix whatever it reports.
+3. Put the file on the server. The code works straight away.
+
+A file with a mistake in it is never offered: its code simply answers "There
+is no world with that code" until the file is fixed. Two files cannot share a
+code; the one whose file name comes first keeps it.
+
+To retire a world, delete its file. Campaigns already made from it stay.
+
+## 4. What a seed file holds
+
+A seed file is a JavaScript module that exports one object. Only `code` and
+`campaign.name` are required; every list can be left out.
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  code: 'MYWRLD',
+  campaign: { name: 'My World', description: '...', startingGold: 20, startingItemCount: 2, startingSpellCount: 2 },
+  locations: [{ name: 'The Old Mill', description: '...' }],
+  weapons: [
+    'dagger',                                      // a copy from the site library
+    { library: 'longsword', isStartingOption: true }, // a copy, with changes
+    { name: 'Millstone Hammer', damageDice: '2d6', damageType: 'bludgeoning', attackAbility: 'STR', minLevel: 3 },
+  ],
+  items: [
+    { library: 'shield', isStartingOption: true },
+    { name: 'Miller’s Charm', description: '...', effects: [{ stat: 'SKILL_PERCEPTION', amount: 1 }] },
+  ],
+  spells: [{ library: 'fire-bolt', isStartingOption: true }, 'fireball'],
+  monsters: ['goblin', { name: 'Mill Wraith', ac: 13, maxHp: 30, attackBonus: 4, damageDice: '1d8+2 necrotic' }],
+  npcs: [
+    {
+      name: 'Old Hob', role: 'Miller', disposition: 'FRIENDLY', description: '...', dmNotes: '...',
+      wares: [{ item: 'Shield', price: 10 }, { weapon: 'Dagger', price: 2, stock: 3 }],
+    },
+  ],
+  encounters: [
+    {
+      name: 'The Mill at Night', mode: 'BATTLE', location: 'The Old Mill', description: '...', dmNotes: '...',
+      monsters: [['Goblin', 3], ['Mill Wraith', 1, 'The Miller’s Wife', 40]],
+      npcs: ['Old Hob'],
+      rewards: [{ gold: 25 }, { silver: 40 }, { weapon: 'Millstone Hammer', note: 'Behind the wheel' }],
+    },
+  ],
+  sharedNotes: ['Welcome to My World...'],
+  dmNotes: ['The secret of the mill...'],
+};
+```
+
+The file is ordinary JavaScript, so it can build its lists however it likes
+(the Hollowcrown seed adds the whole spell library with a `map`).
+
+### Top level
+
+| Field | What it is |
+|---|---|
+| `code` | Six capital letters or digits. What a DM types |
+| `campaign` | The campaign's settings: `name`, and optionally `description`, `startingGold`, `startingItemCount`, `startingSpellCount`, `skipMotivationRoll`, `showMonsterHp`, `areaAttackAcPenalty`, `maxEquipped`, `maxEquippedWeapons`. Anything left out takes the app's default |
+| `locations` | `{ name, description }` |
+| `weapons`, `items`, `spells`, `monsters` | The pools. Each entry is a row or a library copy (below) |
+| `npcs` | NPC rows, each optionally with `wares` |
+| `encounters` | In the order they should list |
+| `sharedNotes`, `dmNotes` | Note bodies, in reading order: the first is shown at the top. Shared notes are for everyone, DM notes for the DM |
+
+### Pool entries
+
+An entry in `weapons`, `items`, `spells` or `monsters` is one of:
+
+- **A library key** such as `'longsword'`: a copy of that entry from the
+  site's built-in library (`src/game/data/*Library.js`).
+- **A library copy with changes**: `{ library: 'longsword', isStartingOption: true, minLevel: 2 }`.
+  Any field of the row can be changed, including its name.
+- **A full row**, with the same fields the app's own forms have:
+
+| Pool | Fields (required in bold) |
+|---|---|
+| Weapon | **`name`**, **`damageDice`**, **`damageType`**, **`attackAbility`** (`STR`, `DEX` or `FINESSE`), `properties`, `rangeNormal`, `rangeLong`, `damageScaling` (1 to 3), `minLevel` (1 to 9), `isStartingOption`, `effects`, `effectNote` |
+| Item | **`name`**, `description`, `damageDice`, `damageScaling`, `minLevel`, `isStartingOption`, `effects`, `effectNote` |
+| Spell | **`name`**, **`level`** (0 to 9), `damageDice`, `school`, `castingTime`, `range`, `duration`, `description`, `isStartingOption`, `revives` |
+| Monster | **`name`**, **`ac`**, **`maxHp`**, `speed`, `strScore` ... `chaScore`, `attackBonus`, `damageDice` (may name its type: `"1d6+2 necrotic"`), `challengeRating`, `specialTrait`, `notes` |
+
+`effects` is a list of `{ stat, amount }`, as described in
+[ITEMS.md](ITEMS.md): armor is an item with an `AC` effect.
+
+Within a pool a name can only be used once, because everything else in the
+file points at pool entries **by name**.
+
+### NPCs
+
+**`name`**, `role`, `disposition` (`FRIENDLY`, `NEUTRAL` or `HOSTILE`),
+`description` (what players see), `dmNotes`, and for those who might fight
+`ac`, `maxHp`, `attackBonus`, `damageDice`.
+
+- **A money changer** has `exchangeGold` and `exchangeCash` together:
+  `exchangeGold: 1, exchangeCash: 50` is 1 gold for $50, either way.
+- **A shopkeeper** has `wares`, a list of things for sale (below).
+
+### Encounters
+
+| Field | What it is |
+|---|---|
+| **`name`** | |
+| `mode` | `BATTLE` (the default) or `QUEST`. Buying and money changing only happen in a quest |
+| `description` | The scene, shown to the players in it |
+| `dmNotes` | DM only |
+| `location` | A location's name |
+| `monsters` | `[monster name, how many, display name, max HP]`. The last two are optional; more than one gets "#1", "#2"... |
+| `npcs` | NPC names, or `{ name, hp }` to set the hit points for this scene |
+| `rewards` | Lined up unawarded (below) |
+| `wares` | For sale at the scene itself, with nobody behind it: a market, a vending machine |
+
+A **reward** is exactly one of `gold`, `silver`, `copper`, `cash` (an amount),
+`weapon` or `item` (a name), with an optional `note`. A weapon or item can also
+have `quantity` and `level`.
+
+A **ware** is `{ weapon | item, price }` with optional `currency` (`GOLD`, the
+default, `SILVER`, `COPPER` or `CASH`), `level` and `stock` (left out: no
+limit).
+
+A reward's or ware's `level` defaults to the entry's own starting level, and
+cannot be below it.
+
+### Limits
+
+Text fields have the same length limits as the app's forms (for example 4,000
+characters for an encounter's DM notes and 10,000 for a note), so that
+everything a seed creates can still be edited on screen. The checker says
+which field is over.
+
+## 5. Checking a seed
+
+```bash
+npm run seeds:check
+```
+
+lists every file in `/backend/seeds` with its code and what it holds, or
+everything wrong with it:
+
+```
+✓ aldenfell.js — code ALDENF — Aldenfell
+    24 weapons (16 starting), 31 items (10 starting), 45 spells (30 starting), 21 locations
+    15 monsters, 13 NPCs (8 wares), 38 encounters (40 rewards, 9 wares), 23 notes
+✗ my-world.js
+    npcs.0.desciption: Unrecognized key: "desciption"
+    Encounter "The Mill at Night": there is no monster called "Gobblin"
+```
+
+It checks the things that would otherwise only show up as a half-working
+campaign:
+
+- A field name that is not one of the fields above (a typo).
+- A library key that is not in the library.
+- The same name twice in one pool.
+- An encounter, reward or ware that names a location, monster, NPC, weapon or
+  item the file does not have.
+- A reward that is not exactly one thing, or gear handed out below its
+  starting level.
+- An exchange rate with only one half.
+
+`npm test` runs the same check on every seed in the folder.
+
+## 6. The database seed
+
+`npx prisma db seed` creates the admin account if it is missing, and nothing
+else. It never adds a campaign: worlds come from codes, in the app. See the
+README for the account it creates and `--reset`.
+
+## 7. The worlds that come with the app
+
+| Code | World | From |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ALDENF` | Aldenfell | The Aldenfell Campaign Book |
+| `HOLLOW` | Hollowcrown: The Rift Between Worlds | The Hollowcrown Dungeon Master's Book (V3) |
