Thank you for playing! And you might be winning the RNG, lol. The way I have enemy spawning set up is the next number has a 50% chance to be the negative of the current sum, meaning if you have 3 = 3, the next number has a chance to either be random or -3 to make it 0. This was to make it easier, but I guess I can tweak the chance a lil bit.

I meant it was literally the same three different numbers, as in no new ones were spawning and the numbers I had could not equal a sum of 0. Sorry if I wasn't clear before.

Hmm. You mention 'same' and 'different' in the same sentence. I'm sorry, I still don't quite get it.

The only numbers were 12, -14, and 4 I believe, and there was only one of each. The numbers did not despawn, so no matter where I went I would eventually run into them again. No other numbers ever showed up.

Oof, that's... something. Did it just happen? Did you select (shoot) those numbers? I'll work on it, thanks for telling me this.

I believe I shot the numbers, but I'm not 100% certain.

Edit: I got it to happen again, this time there were only two numbers, 4 and 16. Right before I was left with just those two I saw some other numbers spawn in but they were all moving away from me. Maybe something's happening to the pathfinding?

I believe the issue might be in my repellent logic. Though while I know the issue I'm not sure of the underlying cause. The way I set it up is it takes all neighboring enemies in a 100px radius and generates a small push force away from all neighbors. I'll find it, thank you.
