# Mechanics

## Powerups

- **Lava Bucket** ("banana peel"):
  Deployed on the map at players current location, causes damage to all playes
  (or maybe just players on a different team, deploying team imunity) within a
  radius.
  - radius
  - duration
  - damage
- **Air strike** (blue shell):
  Deployed at a selected point on the map. Players in the strike zone should get
  a warning, chance to deploy shield.
- **Shield** (star power):
  Makes player immune to damage for a duration.
- **Decoy**:
  Deployed at player’s current location. Displays a false location to enemies.
- **Compass**:
  Shows the player the general direction of opponents.
  Can be fooled by decoys or jammed by radar jamming.
  Only effective within a certain distance.
  UI: maybe similar to the Minecraft 1.21.6+ player location bar?
- **Radar Tower**:
  Deployable at a team’s “base.” One per team. Shows enemies on the map within a radius.
- **Recon Drone**:
  Scans in a straight line (ray) outward from the player’s current location,
  revealing enemies or items along its path
- **Cloak**:
  Deployable fog that creates a safe zone from detection.
  Prevents radar, drone, or compass detection within the area.
- **Health Pack**:
  Restores player health.
- **Signal Jammer**:
  Disrupts enemy communication and equipment. Locks enemy devices for a duration
  (no map updates, unable to collect power-ups).
- **TNT (IED)**:
  Deployable explosive. Small, hidden effect that causes blast damage within a
  radius when triggered.

## Combat
Use device compass to aim in direction of enemy and shoot. The closer, the
better acuracy, the more damage dealt. Targets enemies in effective range of
weapon.

Alternative: QR code scan: Players wear a QR code, which must be scanned for
proof of closeness.
