November 2024 monthly summary for the developer: - Feature delivered: In-game Instruction Screen for courselab/coral, toggleable via the I key, overlaying the main view with game controls and tips. The screen is non-blocking and can be dismissed without affecting gameplay when hidden. Movement input is now ignored while the instruction screen is visible to prevent unintended actions. - Major updates and changes: Implemented input gating to ensure a smooth user experience; preserved full gameplay when not viewing instructions; minimal impact on performance due to lightweight overlay and selective input handling. - Business value: Improves onboarding and reduces user confusion by providing on-demand instruction without interrupting gameplay, potentially reducing support overhead and lowering friction for new players. - Technical impact: Clean separation of UI overlay, input handling, and game state; demonstrated resilience with hotkey toggle and safe state transitions; commits show incremental, focused changes for easier code review and rollback if needed.
