Bring gameplay closer to the original Yoda Stories engine based on
analysis of the WebFun reference implementation:
Combat:

- Melee attacks hit 3-tile spread (forward + 2 diagonals)
- The Force stuns NPCs instead of dealing damage
- Killed monsters drop loot items at death position
Monster AI:
- Add Patrol behavior (waypoint-following movement)
- Add Animation behavior (frame cycling without movement)
Health system:
- Scale to 768 HP (3 lives x 256, matching original)
- 3-segment color gradient health gauge (green/yellow/red)
- Proportionally scaled weapon damage values
Script engine:
- Implement Wait instruction (pause/resume next tick)
- Implement HideHero/ShowHero instructions
- Fix RequiredItemIs, EndingIs, FindItemIs, HasAnyRequiredItem conditions
- Fix IsVariable/SetVariable to use XOR addressing
Game loop:
- Double script evaluation per tick (before and after NPC updates)
