Add long rest

[Garonenur]

Some levels require extreme long resting phases.

Some might consider it the charm of the game, forcing the player to press a button a few thousand times.

But, this being a very casual game, with just one play through a day makes it perfect for people who hunt have a few minutes to get a small daily gaming fix.

And we don't have the time 😅

So I propose a "long rest" button, that rests until the next point o health is gained, or simply 100 steps.

To make it not to easy, monsters shall keep moving. If a player starts resting in range of a monster, they will most certainly die.

I am willing to take a shot at this for a PR, but as mentioned, time is scarce.

Interesting idea. I've been thinking about making the chestnut and/or mushroom increase health a bit instead of natural regeneration. I also want to make monsters "wander" which would mean you can't just hang about for 100 rests. This part of the game definitely needs a different balance, and I don't think pressing "rest" 1000 times is a good experience. Thanks for flagging it.

Noooooooo! Please don't. Some monsters are already following the player, some can (temporarily) be left behind. That mechanic is often crucial, in my experience.

@Rimole ok, thanks for your feedback.

I would like wandering monsters, but yes it would break the proposed rest-mechanic. It could stop the rest early if a monster steps "to close" to the player? But that all makes it more complicated :)
