demo mode [bounty: 100 XTR]

[DreadKnight]

The game needs self playable demos when idle (shrinking bar/fuse) and no players are connected, while in kiosk mode #933.

It could cycle through a few demos:

• showcase a "how to play" tut that would be useful for potential new players 🐻
  

• random battles from certain starting scenarios (when we'll have state machine)
  

• replay specific parts of interesting moves from historic matches (state machine)
  

Interacting with the game will allow canceling the demo and getting back to the main menu instantly.

I'd like to implement the demo mode for AncientBeast! I'll create an automated demo system with:

✅ Core Features:

• Auto-play demo when idle (kiosk mode)
• "How to Play" tutorial showcase
• Random battle scenarios
• Historic match replays
• Instant cancel on user interaction

✅ Implementation:

• Idle detection (no player activity)
• State machine for demo sequences
• AI-controlled automated gameplay
• Smooth transition back to menu
• Configurable demo timing

Estimated completion: 2-3 hours

Let's make the game showcase itself! 🎮
