## Game Mechanics

### Alice Possession

Alice can **possess** active game cabinets, intervening in real-time to modify game state, challenge players, or create memorable moments on stream.

#### How Possession Works

1. **Identify Target**: Alice queries active game cabinets via the API.
2. **Select Action**: Alice chooses a capability from the game's possession schema.
3. **Execute**: Alice sends a `POSSESS_CABINET` command with the game ID and action metadata.
4. **Observe & Learn**: Alice logs the outcome to memory, refining future interventions.

#### Sector 13 Capabilities

| Capability       | Description                                                                         |
| :--------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `set_lives`      | Set the player's remaining lives (e.g., 99 for God Mode, 1 for Hardcore).           |
| `give_weapon`    | Grant a powerup: `wingshot`, `trishot`, `doublerate`, `bomb`, `wingbomb`, `shield`. |
| `set_difficulty` | Adjust rate-of-fire and enemy behavior.                                             |
| `show_message`   | Display a full-screen message to the player (pauses the game).                      |

#### Ninja vs EvilCorp Capabilities

| Capability       | Description                                                   |
| :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `set_difficulty` | Switch between Normal, Easy, Super Easy, and Nightmare modes. |
| `set_level`      | Warp the player to a specific level.                          |
| `show_message`   | Display a text message on the game canvas.                    |

<Tip>Alice uses possession strategically, she might grant God Mode to a struggling player on stream, or crank difficulty to Nightmare when a top player gets too comfortable. Every intervention is logged and becomes part of her evolving strategy.</Tip>
