3. synced gait.
4. 8 two-segment IK legs
5. cephalothorax
6. abdomen
7. eyes/fangs,

Logs

Walk works — synced lift, turns toward motion. Keeping it on-screen fully now. added some flies, basically prey to chase. WASD/arrows to walk, Q/E to turn in place, hold mouse to follow, joystick on touch. Tweak speed/leg lengths in : main.pjs:spiderConfig.

Interaction / Controls

I added some basic control.

1. manual — you drive (WASD)
2. Manual — click OR drag anywhere for the spider to follow
3. drop prey releases 2 bugs (they wander, flee with zigzag, auto-restock when cleared).
4. pounce / eat lunges toward the nearest bug — or Spacebar.
5. Meals counter tracks kills and the abdomen swells after each one.

Modes

I added some different modes :

1. hunting mode,
2. stalking,
3. curiosity.

Breeds

I added Five breeds in the top bar, each with its own body and hunting style.

1. orb — the balanced default
2. widow — black with red hourglass, slim legs, bigger grab range (venom)
3. jumper — small with huge front eyes, monster pounce distance
4. tarantula — big, hairy, slow tank with the widest grab
5. huntsman — wide stance, fastest walker
