Details

chanceForMoney / chanceForMoneyRange

When an enemy is killed by the player, the player gets moneyWorth when the random picked number between 0 and chanceForMoneyRange is <= chanceForMoney.

Some examples:
If the chanceForMoney is 25 and the chanceForMoneyRange is 100, the player gets a chance of 25 out of 100 to get the moneyWorth amount of money when killing this enemy
If the chanceForMoney is 10 and the chanceForMoneyRange is 1000, the player gets a chance of 10 out of 1000 to get the moneyWorth amount of money when killing this enemy

Example:

{
  "chanceForMoney": 25,
  "chanceForMoneyRange": 100,
  "moneyWorth": 1
}

Money Increase

When an enemy gets its hp increased, the money worth will be increased too by the % of the amount of health increased based in its original moneyWorth.

Example:

An enemy with 1hp and 1moneyWorth
It's hp gets increased to 2
The moneyWorth will be increased to 2

Bosses get 50% of their money increased based on how many bosses were killed this round.

Example:

Boss Kills	moneyWorth
0	100
1	150
2	200
3	250
etc	...

3hp enemies are special

3hp Enemies get special treatment to make the game more interesting and increase variety.

All Available 3hp enemies get shuffled
Every Level 3 enemies minHp will be increased by 1

Example:

We have four 3hp enemies:
- 3hp / 2 moneyWorth
- 3hp / 2 moneyWorth
- 3hp / 2 moneyWorth
- 3hp / 2 moneyWorth
We will have then only 1x 3hp enemy and the following:
- 3hp / 2 moneyWorth
- 4hp / 4 moneyWorth
- 5hp / 6 moneyWorth
- 6hp / 8 moneyWorth

They will get "spread out" for the unlock algorithm to give a better feel of progression.
Every other minHp enemy is not touched, this occurs only for the 3hp's.
