Major architectural improvements:
- Simplified replay system from ~1,450 lines to ~320 lines (78% reduction)
- Removed scene reconstruction complexity in favor of reusing game logic
- Added isReplayMode parameter to Level1 and Ship constructors
- Level1.initialize() now creates scene for both game and replay modes
- ReplayPlayer simplified to find existing meshes instead of loading assets
Replay system changes:
- ReplayManager now uses Level1.initialize() to populate scene
- Deleted obsolete files: assetCache.ts, ReplayAssetRegistry.ts
- Removed full scene deserialization code from LevelDeserializer
- Fixed keyboard input error when initializing in replay mode
- Physics bodies converted to ANIMATED after Level1 creates them
UI simplification for new users:
- Hidden level editor, settings, test scene, and replay buttons
- Hidden "Create New Level" link
- Filtered level selector to only show recruit and pilot difficulties
- Clean, focused experience for first-time users
Technical improvements:
- PhysicsRecorder now accepts LevelConfig via constructor
- Removed sessionStorage dependency for level state
- Fixed Color3 alpha property error in levelSerializer
- Cleaned up unused imports and dependencies

Implemented Option 5: Integrate ship physics constants into centralized GameConfig
Changes to gameConfig.ts:
- Added shipPhysics object with 4 tunable parameters:
- maxLinearVelocity (default: 200)
- maxAngularVelocity (default: 1.4)
- linearForceMultiplier (default: 800)
- angularForceMultiplier (default: 15)
- Updated save() to persist shipPhysics to localStorage
- Updated loadFromStorage() to load shipPhysics with fallback defaults
- Updated reset() to restore shipPhysics defaults
Changes to shipPhysics.ts:
- Removed hardcoded constants
- Added GameConfig import
- Updated applyForces() to read values from GameConfig.getInstance().shipPhysics
- Now reads physics parameters dynamically at runtime
Changes to index.html:
- Added Ship Physics section in Settings UI
- 4 number inputs with appropriate min/max/step values
- Help text explaining each parameter's effect on ship handling
- Section positioned after Developer settings
Changes to settingsScreen.ts:
- Added input element references for ship physics controls
- Updated loadSettings() to populate ship physics inputs from config
- Updated saveSettings() to save ship physics values to config
- Values persist across sessions via localStorage
Benefits:
- Ship physics now tunable in real-time via settings UI
- Parameters persist across sessions
- Easy to reset to defaults
- Centralized configuration management
- No need to edit code to adjust ship handling

- Changed from SceneLoader.ImportMeshAsync to loadAsset pattern
- Ship constructor no longer calls initialize() - must be called explicitly
- Updated physics to use transformNode from GLB container
- Adjusted control mappings for yaw/pitch/roll (inverted signs)
- Reduced force multipliers for better control feel
- Remove MaterialFactory pattern
- Deleted src/materialFactory.ts
- LevelDeserializer now creates PBRMaterial directly for planets/sun
- Removed texture quality settings from gameConfig
- Cleaned up settings UI to remove texture quality controls
- Fix UI element hiding when entering VR
- Editor and Settings links now properly hidden on level start
- Update GLB models for new asset structure
- Updated ship.glb and base.glb models
- Modified loadAsset to work with container transformNodes

- Create debugLog wrapper function in src/debug.ts
- Add debug checkbox to settings screen UI
- Replace all console.log statements with debugLog calls (153 replacements)
- Add debug flag to GameConfig with localStorage persistence
- Fix GameConfig to properly load and reset debug setting
- Preserve console.error and console.warn calls unchanged
- Add Developer section to settings screen with debug toggle
- Enable/disable all debug logging via settings UI checkbox
Debug logging can now be controlled from Settings > Developer section,
reducing console noise in production while maintaining full debugging
capability during development.
