Editing Shop (section)

== Trivia ==

* It is possible to jump over the counter. The shopkeeper will glare at the player until they return to the other side. Jumping from too close to the counter starts a transaction instead, and the shopkeeper will say something whether or not the player has the gems.
* In an earlier build of the game, the player could destroy the item cases. Doing so would anger the shopkeeper and cause them to attack. Fumoto removed the feature because he [https://twitter.com/moppin_/status/658926722675556352 couldn't make it work] "in terms of balance and fun".
** The mechanism survives in the shipped code: each display case (<code>shop_case</code>) has 1,000,000 hit points and no collision handler for player bullets, so it can't be shot down in normal play; destroying one anyway sets <code>global.criminal</code>, which spawns a hostile <code>shopKeeperEnemy</code>.
** The hostile shopkeeper has 600 HP and a death sequence, but nothing in its code ever damages it, making it invincible in practice. Its melee hit does 2 damage and its ranged staff attack does 8; it activates as soon as the player gets within 96px of a shop entrance — before they've even entered the [[Safe Zone]] — and stays active for the rest of the stage.
* Attempting to purchase an item without enough gems, the shopkeeper says "TOO POOR!"
* Attempting to purchase an item the player has already bought, the shopkeeper responds with "WHAT", "HUH", or "?".
