Fill an enemy wave up to a point budget without overspending or stalling

Every wave gets a number of points to spend on enemies of different cost. Simple loops either go over the budget, stop with a big chunk unused, or run forever when nothing fits. This entry shows a loop that always ends and uses the points well.

Why this works

A budget is a purse: you can only buy what you can still pay for. Choosing only from affordable things means you can never overspend, and because the purse shrinks with every purchase, the loop must end, however the dice fall.

When not to use it

Skip it when waves should be handmade, like a story fight or a boss with a fixed entourage. Random buying will then break the pacing you designed. Write that wave out by hand and keep the budget for filler waves.
