PLAN

Generated: 2026-02-28

Cleanup objective

Perform dependency-safe cleanup by moving non-runtime clutter into _obsolete/, improving archive consistency, and documenting all actions and uncertainties.

Clutter definitions (applied)

Ad-hoc root patch/fix/test scripts
- Pattern: patch_*, fix-*, fix_*, test_* at repo root.
- Classification: non-canonical tooling unless referenced by active code/docs/scripts.
Root-level note/artifact files
- Pattern: standalone generated/inspection artifacts (*tree*.md, curl_out.txt, .patch).
- Classification: historical analysis artifacts, not runtime.
Explicit obsolete files outside _obsolete/
- Pattern: *.obsolete living in active trees.
- Classification: should reside in archive area.
Archive structure inconsistencies
- Pattern: extensionless or ambiguous filenames in docs/archive/.
- Classification: move/rename for discoverability, preserve content.

Target archive structure used

_obsolete/root-scripts/ - ad-hoc root scripts
_obsolete/root-notes/ - root notes/artifacts
_obsolete/frontend/ - obsolete frontend docs
_obsolete/nakama-modules/games/ - obsolete Nakama game files
docs/archive/cleanup/ - cleanup-related historical docs

Safety protocol

For each candidate file:

Check references in active surfaces:
- docs/
- scripts/
- frontend/src/
- nakama-modules/
If no references found and file is non-runtime, move to _obsolete/.
If ambiguity exists, do not move; list in UNCERTAIN_FILES.md.
Avoid touching .usr/ and WALL-OF-FAME.md.

Execution batches

Batch A (low-risk root artifacts)

Move root note/inventory artifacts to _obsolete/root-notes/.

Batch B (root ad-hoc scripts)

Move root patch_*, fix_*, test_*, and other one-off test files to _obsolete/root-scripts/.

Batch C (explicit obsolete files)

Move frontend/README.md.obsolete and nakama-modules/games/chadg-chat.ts.obsolete into _obsolete/ equivalents.

Batch D (docs archive consistency)

Move and rename docs/archive/root-level-cleanup to docs/archive/cleanup/root-level-cleanup-chat-system-2025-11-19.md.

Validation plan

Confirm moved files exist in destination directories.
Confirm source paths are absent at original locations.
Re-run targeted reference scans in active directories.
Capture results in BUILD_TEST_REPORT.md.

🎯 Core

Jambox is a brilliant real-time collaborative P2P virtual music instrument built with SvelteKit, Tone.js, and Trystero (WebRTC). To elevate it to true “Funday Native” perfection, it needs to transition from legacy Svelte 4 paradigms to Svelte 5 Runes, integrate seamlessly with Nakama for identity/presence (rather than anonymous emojis), and harden its WebRTC/Audio state management.

💔 Reality

Reactivity Debt: Components like Piano.svelte and Settings.svelte explicitly opt out of modern Svelte 5 (<svelte:options runes={false} />). Relies heavily on Svelte 4 $store subscriptions and lifecycle hooks.
Identity Disconnect: Trystero assigns random emojis to peers. Funday already has a robust Nakama-backed identity system (Usernames, Avatars) which is completely ignored.
Audio Loading Blindspot: Tone.js samplers load asynchronously (onload: () => console.log(...)), but the UI provides zero visual feedback during this massive payload download, leading to silent failures or perceived unresponsiveness.
WebRTC Fragility: Trystero room logic in room.ts is tightly coupled and lacks robust reconnection/error handling strategies for edge-case network drops.
Component Bloat: Piano.svelte handles UI, MIDI input mapping, WebRTC event emitting, and keyboard event listening. Total violation of SRP (Single Responsibility Principle).

🛠️ Toolkit

1. Svelte 5 Runes Refactor

Migrate stores to $state and $derived.

// Old (PianoKey.svelte)
export let note: string;
$: active = $activeKeys.find((k) => k.note === note);
 
// New (Svelte 5)
let { note, handleNote, keybind } = $props();
let active = $derived(activeKeys.find(k => k.note === note));

2. Funday Identity Integration (Nakama Bridge)

Bridge the Funday session into Trystero’s profile payload.

// room.ts
import { bridge } from "$lib/funday/bridge" // Abstracted bridge store
 
const selfProfile = {
  id: selfId,
  username: bridge.user.username || "Guest",
  avatar: bridge.user.avatarUrl,
  joined: Date.now(),
}

3. Audio Loading State Manager

Wrap Tone.js Sampler instantiation in a Promise and track progress.

// instruments.ts
export const loadingState = $state({ total: 0, loaded: 0, isReady: false })
 
new Sampler({
  urls,
  onload: () => {
    loadingState.loaded++
    loadingState.isReady = loadingState.loaded === loadingState.total
  },
})

4. Decouple MIDI and Audio Logic

Extract MIDI access and WebAudio orchestration into dedicated controller classes or $effect hooks outside the view layer.

🗺️ Roadmap

Phase 1: Architecture Modernization (ROI: High). Strip <svelte:options runes={false} />. Convert all export let to $props(). Migrate writable stores to $state.
Phase 2: Logic Decoupling (ROI: High). Extract MIDI handling from Piano.svelte into a MidiController.svelte.ts state module.
Phase 3: Funday Identity Sync (ROI: Medium). Pass Nakama user identity down through the FundayBridge and broadcast it via Trystero instead of random animal emojis.
Phase 4: UX Polish (ROI: Medium). Implement an Audio Loading progress bar.

🎨 Verdict (7/10)

Jambox has a solid, utilitarian dark/light mode aesthetic but suffers from “developer-UI” syndrome. It lacks the premium, polished feel of a native Funday game. Critical fixes needed:

Replace random custom colors with semantic DaisyUI 5 / Tailwind 4 tokens.
Implement visual feedback for audio asset loading.
Consolidate and clarify the control hierarchy (Octave/Release/Settings).

👁️ Hierarchy

Current Map: Header (Logo + Peers + Settings + Share) -> Controls (Instrument + Release + Octave) -> Piano Keys.
Flaws: The “Release” dial and “Octave” buttons are floating without clear grouping boundaries. The “Allow Sound” overlay is jarring.
Corrections: Group instrument controls into a unified Card or toolbar. Move the “Allow Sound” CTA to a centered, friendly onboarding state rather than a raw overlay.

🎨 Design System

Current Tokens: Relies on a custom Radix UI color palette (bg-primary-9, dark:bg-primary-3, etc.).
Fixed Tokens: Migrate to standard Tailwind semantic classes (e.g., bg-base-100, text-base-content, bg-primary, text-primary-content) ensuring seamless integration with the user’s selected Funday theme (which the Bridge already passes).

⚡ Interactions

States: The piano keys currently lack nuanced tactile feedback. A rigid CSS transition handles presses.
Upgrades:
- Add a subtle transform (scale-[0.98]) on key press to simulate physical depth.
- Make peer interaction (seeing others press keys) visually distinct from self-interaction (e.g., ghosted vs solid active states).
- Add smooth Framer Motion / Svelte fade transitions for the peer join/leave events.

♿ Accessibility

Current Gaps: Keyboard navigation for settings/share modals is incomplete. Focus rings are inconsistent.
Fixes:
- Implement visible focus rings (focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-primary) on all interactable elements.
- Ensure ARIA labels on instrument select and dials.

🏎️ Perf-UX

Current: App loads, then abruptly asks for sound permission. Then it silently loads megabytes of audio samples. If the user hits a key before samples load, nothing happens.
Upgrades:
- Implement a Loading... skeleton state or progress bar tied to the Tone.js onload callbacks.
- Only show the piano interface after the initial “Allow Sound” interaction and subsequent sample loading.

🗺️ Roadmap

Phase 1: Theme Consolidation. Rip out tailwind/colorSettings.cjs and replace with pure Tailwind/DaisyUI 5 classes respecting the host dark-theme class.
Phase 2: Loading UX. Build a beautiful entrance sequence: Logo Splash -> "Start Jamming" CTA (Audio Perm) -> Loading Bar -> Piano.
Phase 3: Control Panel Polish. Redesign the top control bar to group Instrument, Octave, and Release into distinct, labeled sections.
Phase 4: Tactile Keys. Enhance the CSS of PianoKey.svelte for a “squishy”, satisfying click feel.

ARCH-UP — Funday Platform Architecture & Upgrade Blueprint

Project Overview

Funday is a self‑hostable, cloud‑native gaming platform. It runs a SvelteKit front end, integrates games via a manifest‑based plugin system under games/, and uses Nakama for real‑time multiplayer, leaderboards, and storage. The platform is guest‑first (automatic device sessions), deploys on K3s, and ships with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki observability.

Analysis of Current/Old Structure & Weaknesses (RR)

Inconsistent docs vs code
- Some docs still reference game-plugins/; code uses games/ and /games/assets/....
- Development-only _dev/* discovery exists (intentional) but must be clearly documented.
Plugin system
- Discovery in frontend/src/lib/server/plugins.ts is solid; ensure manifests converge on funday-plugin.json with entryPoint.
Security hardening
- CSP/sandbox present; maintain strict origin allowlist for external iframes; ensure no allow-same-origin for external.
Observability
- Monitoring stack present; ServiceMonitor coverage and correlation‑id propagation should be standardized.
DX & Docs
- Docs drift (paths/terms), scattered how‑tos; unify to one canonical architecture doc (this) and hub links.

Proposed Architecture/Structure (AR)

App Shell & Routing
- SvelteKit app with unified play route /play/[id] that mounts a GameViewport (native Svelte component or sandboxed iframe).
Plugin Discovery & Manifests
- Source of truth: games/<id>/funday-plugin.json (id, version, integrationType, entryPoint, metadata).
- Dev discovery: nested _dev/<id> kept for /play only (not listed in library).
Asset Gateway
- Route: frontend/src/routes/games/assets/[...path]/+server.ts serves files from nearest plugin root; rewrites HTML asset paths; sets proper content types and caching.
Game Runtime Integration
- GameViewport.svelte + FundayBridge v1 (postMessage handshake, theme/locale/session injection, dock actions, analytics, score submission).
Auth & Session (Guest‑First)
- Automatic device sessions on each request; optional sign‑in for cloud features; strict cookie flags.
Multiplayer & Leaderboards
- Nakama client + socket helpers (games/_sdk/*), join/create match, leaderboard writes (platform event + direct verification).
Observability & Telemetry
- Prometheus metrics, Loki JSON logs with correlation id; dashboards for FE latency and Nakama.
Security
- CSP frame‑ancestors ‘self’; strict sandbox for external; ALLOWED_GAME_HOSTS allowlist; path traversal prevention in asset route.
Infrastructure
- K3s, Kong, Traefik; future: Agones fleets for dedicated servers with allocation flow.

Module Responsibilities & Interactions

Plugins Scanner: scan games/, validate manifests, derive playUrl, normalize assets.
Assets Route: secure file serving, HTML rewrites, cache headers.
Play Pipeline: read plugin by id → compute play URL → mount GameViewport → host/game bridge.
Bridge Host: origin validation, theme/session injection, dock→game action mapping, analytics forwarding.
Nakama Layer: device auth, socket, matchmaking, leaderboard/storage API.
Observability: metrics/logs/traces; add correlation‑id from request to logs/events.

Tech Stack Overview

Frontend: SvelteKit 2.x, TypeScript 5.x, TailwindCSS 4.x, DaisyUI 5.x
Backend/Game Services: Nakama 3.32.x, PostgreSQL, Redis
Infra: K3s, Traefik, Kong, GitOps (local), future Agones
Testing: Playwright E2E; repo tests under frontend/e2e/, tests/

Benefits vs Weaknesses

Single, canonical plugin surface under games/ eliminates path drift.
Strict asset route + rewrites harden security and reduce asset bugs.
Unified play pipeline and bridge contracts simplify game integration.
Guest‑first keeps zero‑friction UX; optional auth is additive.
Standardized observability enables rapid diagnosis and SLO tracking.

Actionable Roadmap (GURU)

Now
- Normalize docs to games/ (done for Fungame); keep _dev/* labeled as dev‑only.
- Add correlation‑id propagation FE→API→logs.
- Ensure ServiceMonitor coverage for FE and Nakama (verify targets up).
Next
- Harden CSP and sandbox per game host allowlist; document external embedding policy.
- Add rate limiting at Kong for sensitive endpoints.
- Expand Playwright E2E to cover /play/{id} handshake + score submission.
Later
- Integrate Agones for dedicated servers; add allocation API flow.
- CDN/static cache for /games/assets where applicable.

Conclusion — Move Forward Efficiently

Adopt games/ as the exclusive plugin source, keep _dev/* for development discovery (not library), standardize bridge/asset/manifest contracts, and finish observability/security hardening. This blueprint aligns code and docs, reduces friction for new games, and sets a clear path to Agones‑powered scale.

Manual Deployment (Medium Risk): Reliance on kubectl apply and systemctl for updates increases the risk of configuration drift. The existing GitOps infrastructure is the clear path to mitigating this.
Dev/Prod Parity (Medium Risk): The development server uses a different data source (mock files) than production (live Nakama API). This is a common pattern but requires developer discipline to avoid bugs.
GitOps Workflow (High Risk): The gitops/ directory and CHECKLIST.md indicate that the ArgoCD-based GitOps workflow is inactive or broken. This is the single largest area for improvement, as fixing it would resolve the Manual Deployment risk.

🌊 DX Flow: Developer Journey Map

The developer experience is streamlined but has a key branching point depending on the deployment target.

Pain Point: The context switch between systemctl for the dev server and kubectl for production adds cognitive load. A unified deployment script or a fully functional GitOps pipeline would optimize this flow.

Play Shell Contract Design

Goal

Define the canonical shell contract for GameViewport, GameDrawer, GameHUD, and GameDock so the Funday play experience has one consistent layout model across desktop and mobile before deeper multiplayer UX work continues.

Current Findings

The current /play/[id] shell already behaves as an overlay stack:

frontend/src/routes/play/[id]/+page.svelte mounts a fixed play-root with GameViewport, GameHUD, GameDock, and GameDrawer as sibling overlays.
GameDock.svelte is a fixed bottom rail and reserves viewport space through --dock-h.
GameDrawer.svelte is a fixed overlay panel on the right for desktop and full-width on small screens; it currently combines lobby browse, match controls, and full chat.
GameHUD.svelte is a small absolute pill in the top-right, but it is currently game-stat oriented and only weakly exposes shell state.
GameViewport.svelte is the real integration owner for bridge handshake, session/theme injection, latency polling, player-count updates, and drawer mode hints.
There is no dedicated quick-chat surface today; full chat only exists inside the drawer.
Connection state exists in data flow (status, statusMeta, reconnect actions, chat socket errors), but it is not exposed in one always-visible canonical place.

Considered Approaches

1. Overlay-first shell

Keep the game surface full-bleed and treat shell surfaces as overlays:

bottom dock for primary controls
top status rail for live state
right drawer on desktop / bottom sheet on mobile for multiplayer workflow

Pros:

matches the current architecture
avoids iframe/native viewport resize churn
preserves immersion for active gameplay
easiest path for dedicated-server and iframe games

Cons:

requires tighter z-index and focus-management discipline
drawer and HUD responsibilities must be clarified

2. Flex-push split layout

Make the drawer resize or push the viewport on desktop and stack below on mobile.

Pros:

chat/lobby can stay open without covering gameplay
straightforward information density on large screens

Cons:

hurts iframe and canvas games by constantly resizing play area
creates different mental models between desktop and mobile
adds more complexity around fullscreen and embedded game sizing

3. Persistent side rail with no true drawer

Convert lobby/chat into a permanent narrow rail plus modal subflows.

Pros:

very stable layout
strong discoverability

Cons:

too cramped for real match settings and chat history
wastes space on smaller laptops and tablets
fights the current browse/ready/live drawer flow that is already partly working

Canonical Decision

The canonical Funday play shell will be overlay-first.

This keeps gameplay pixels as the priority, aligns with the current fixed play-shell architecture, and gives one consistent model for iframe, native, and dedicated-server games.

Scope Decision: No Multi-Instance Tab Stack In This Wave

Pinned/background tabs and persistent multi-instance viewport stacks are not in scope for the current play-shell program.

Reasons:

repo search found no active implementation or supporting architecture beyond checklist mentions
the newly approved shell contract already has enough structural work in status visibility, drawer behavior, and quick chat
multi-instance sessions would add socket, focus, and viewport ownership complexity before the single-instance shell is fully stabilized

Canonical rule for this wave:

one /play/[id] route owns one active viewport and one active multiplayer workspace
reopening the drawer supports the same live session
background tab stacks are deferred until a later wave explicitly reopens that concept

Shell Responsibilities

`GameViewport`

GameViewport remains the sole owner of gameplay rendering and integration:

mount iframe or native game
own bridge handshake/session/theme injection
own postMessage/native transport boundary
publish shell telemetry into gameContext
never be resized by drawer open/close

Rule:

the viewport may reserve space for the global nav and bottom dock
the viewport must not shrink for lobby/chat panels

`GameDock`

GameDock is the primary action rail:

always visible at the bottom
first action is the canonical Lobby entry
game-declared actions come next
shell utilities stay on the trailing edge (leaderboard, fullscreen, exit)

The dock is for fast, one-tap actions, not dense information.

`GameHUD`

GameHUD becomes the always-visible shell status rail instead of a mostly game-specific stat bubble.

Canonical contents:

connection state
mode (Solo, Online, Practice)
player count when relevant
latency when available
optional game-specific compact stats as secondary content

Rule:

connection health must never be hidden only inside the drawer

`GameDrawer`

GameDrawer is the multiplayer workspace, not the permanent chrome layer.

Canonical responsibilities:

browse available sessions/lobbies/servers
show pre-start match roster and settings
expose primary match actions (Start, Invite, Leave, Resume)
host the full chat thread
stay reopenable without disconnecting the match

Layout Contract

Desktop

Desktop uses:

full-bleed viewport
fixed bottom dock
compact top status rail
right-side drawer sheet for multiplayer workflows

Drawer width target:

24rem to 26rem default
may grow to 30rem only for explicitly chat-heavy states if needed later

Mobile

Mobile uses:

full-bleed viewport above the dock
bottom dock with thumb-first actions
compact top status rail
bottom-sheet drawer for multiplayer workflows

Mobile drawer target:

approximately 68dvh to 78dvh
draggable/closable sheet behavior is acceptable later, but the key contract is that it behaves as a sheet, not a full-width side panel

Reason:

mobile should preserve partial game visibility while browsing chat or match state

Connection-State Visibility Contract

Connection state must be visible outside the drawer at all times.

Canonical shell labels:

Connecting — handshake, initial socket readiness, or direct-connect setup in progress
Lobby ready — multiplayer shell available, not yet live
Joining match — invite/join/create flow in progress
Live — active match/gameplay connected
Reconnecting — socket/game transport dropped but recovery is in progress
Offline or Error — recovery failed or game reported a hard error

Canonical sources of truth:

gameContext.status
gameContext.statusMeta
gameContext.latencyMs
lobby.phase
explicit connect/join/loading state in GameDrawer
handshake/error events from GameViewport

Rule:

these signals should be normalized into one shell-facing status model before rendering

Quick-Chat Placement

Quick chat will live in the dock layer as a compact reaction tray, while full chat remains in the drawer.

Canonical behavior:

dock contains a Quick chat trigger in online/match-capable states
trigger opens a compact tray/popover above the dock
tray contains a small fixed set of reactions/messages for fast use
full message history and freeform input remain inside GameDrawer

Why this split:

quick reactions should be one-tap and available without covering the whole game
full chat still needs the drawer for history, scrolling, and presence context

State and Mode Contract

Browse state

drawer defaults to lobby/session browser for multiplayer-capable games
primary action is Create match / Create lobby / Connect
chat is secondary

Ready state

drawer focuses roster, settings summary, and the single primary pre-start action
host sees Start match
guests see waiting state with invite/share secondary actions only when useful

Live state

viewport is primary
dock exposes Lobby as the recovery/open-state control
drawer, when reopened, shows Resume, roster, live status, and full chat

Accessibility and Interaction Rules

all shell controls must keep 44px to 48px minimum touch targets
drawer open state must trap focus correctly
close drawer must never disconnect the match
leaving a match must remain an explicit destructive action
shell actions must not rely on hover-only affordances
mobile layout must honor safe-area insets and preserve dock usability

Deferred Work Outside This Decision

This contract intentionally does not implement:

multi-instance pinned/background tabs (CHECKLIST.md item 4.2)
instance-scoped socket manager extensions (CHECKLIST.md item 4.3)

Those items are explicitly deferred because the current canonical shell remains single-viewport and single-workspace for this wave.

Recommended Implementation Order

Refactor GameHUD into a shell status rail driven by normalized connection state.
Split GameDrawer layout into desktop right-sheet and mobile bottom-sheet behavior.
Add dock-level quick-chat trigger and compact reaction tray.
Normalize connection/join/live/offline state into one shell-facing adapter.
Re-verify browse, ready, live, reconnect, and mobile flows on representative games.

Verification Criteria

The contract should be considered implemented later only when:

the shell behaves overlay-first on desktop and mobile
connection state is always visible without opening the drawer
quick chat is available from the dock in online states
full chat remains in the drawer
reopening/closing the drawer does not disconnect live sessions
representative iframe, native, and dedicated-server games follow the same shell model

Tinkerbench Scaffold Design

Goal

Create a canonical games/_templates/tinkerbench/ scaffold for Funday that can generate self-contained game folders for both iframe-themeable and svelte-component integration models while sharing one multiplayer-ready demo core.

Context

The current blueprint in docs/current/cheatsheets/funday-tinkerbench-blueprint.md describes two integration models:

iframe-themeable with a hardened postMessage contract
svelte-component with direct host props/stores

The existing repo also includes:

a generic games/_templates/svelte5/ reference template
an older scripts/scaffold-tinkerbench.sh script that is iframe-first and much too thin for the new canonical scaffold

The next scaffold must align with current Funday conventions, produce generated game folders that do not depend on the template at runtime, and provide a real multiplayer-oriented starter instead of a bare “hello world”.

Approved Decisions

1. Integration scope

The first canonical tinkerbench scaffold will support both:

iframe-themeable
svelte-component

2. Structural shape

The scaffold will use a generated-wrapper architecture with:

a shared core
two explicit wrapper targets
generator scripts that emit plain game folders

This superseded the simpler sibling-template-only recommendation because the approved direction favors long-term reuse and one canonical source of truth.

3. Multiplayer depth

The first release should include a full multiplayer demo surface, not just a minimal handshake shell.

This means the scaffold should ship with a transport-agnostic multiplayer demo model that can run in both wrapper targets and can later be swapped to real Nakama transport.

Architecture

Canonical home:

games/_templates/tinkerbench/

Proposed shape:

core/
- shared gameplay/demo state
- shared multiplayer event contracts
- shared HUD/debug components
- shared transport-agnostic adapters/interfaces
wrappers/iframe-themeable/
- iframe handshake bridge
- postMessage transport adapter
- iframe entry files
- iframe manifest template
wrappers/svelte-component/
- native mount adapter
- direct prop/store transport adapter
- native entry files
- native manifest template
scripts/
- generator entrypoint for scaffold emission
docs/
- quick-start
- mode selection guidance
- replacement guidance for demo logic and transport

Generation and Output Model

The generator should accept:

game-id
target mode: iframe-themeable or svelte-component
optional title
optional description
optional theme
optional multiplayer preset (demo or stub)

Canonical command shape:

scripts/scaffold-tinkerbench.sh <game-id> --mode iframe-themeable|svelte-component

Generator output:

a self-contained game under games/<game-id>/
its own funday-plugin.json
its own package.json
its own Vite config and app entry files
copied wrapper-specific files
copied shared core snapshot required for that mode

Important rule:

generated games must not depend on _templates/tinkerbench at runtime

Reason:

generated games should remain editable, portable, and stable even if the template evolves later

Host and Multiplayer Contract

Shared core

The shared core should define:

session identity model
theme model
nav/status update model
lobby state model
match action/event model
score/debug/telemetry hooks
demo multiplayer reducer/state transitions

Iframe wrapper

The iframe wrapper should implement the hardened host contract:

Host to game:

funday:handshake
funday:session-inject
funday:theme-inject
optional nav/action updates

Game to host:

funday:ack
game:ready
funday:lobby-state
funday:match-request
score/debug events

The wrapper should allow localhost development origins and reject unrelated origins.

Native wrapper

The native wrapper should map the same semantics through:

direct props for session/theme/platform adapters
direct methods or stores for lobby state and match actions
no postMessage, but the same conceptual event boundaries

Multiplayer demo scope

Included in v1 scaffold:

sample presence list
ready state
lobby status
deterministic demo match flow
wrapper-agnostic HUD/debug surface

Explicitly excluded from v1 scaffold:

production Nakama credentials
real backend provisioning
hardcoded environment-specific endpoints

Instead, the scaffold should expose clean replacement seams where real Nakama transport can replace the demo transport.

Documentation Requirements

The scaffold should ship concise docs covering:

quick-start
choosing iframe-themeable vs svelte-component
replacing the demo scene/core
swapping demo transport for real Nakama transport
manifest/build/runtime expectations

Verification Requirements

The scaffold work should only be considered complete when:

games/_templates/tinkerbench/ exists
the generator works for both modes
both generated outputs are self-contained
at least one generated runtime proof exists through the standard /play/<id> path
both wrapper sources pass their local template-level checks/builds
checklist evidence is updated with the verified proof

Recommended Implementation Order

Create template folder layout and shared core contracts
Implement iframe wrapper source
Implement native wrapper source
Implement generator script
Add scaffold docs
Generate one throwaway game per mode for proof
Verify through the standard Funday play path
Update checklist evidence

Open Implementation Constraints

Keep the generated scaffold immediately understandable
Avoid hidden runtime coupling back to _templates
Prefer current Svelte 5 patterns already used in repo templates
Mirror existing Funday plugin manifest conventions and bridge contracts where possible
Keep the first release practical, not over-abstracted

Battleship Game Refactoring Plan

This document outlines the strategy to refactor the battleship game into a clean, robust, and maintainable state. The current implementation is a monolithic HTML file with conflicting and unused code, which we will replace with a modern SvelteKit application.

Phase 1: Project Cleanup and Setup

Archive Old Files: Move the existing index.html and BattleshipsGame.js into an _archive directory to preserve them for reference while preventing them from being used.
Initialize SvelteKit Project: Create a new SvelteKit application within the frontend directory of the battleships game.
Install Dependencies: Add tailwindcss, daisyui, and other necessary dependencies to the new SvelteKit project.
Configure Tailwind & DaisyUI: Set up the tailwind.config.js and postcss.config.js files to enable theming and proper styling.

Phase 2: Core Game Logic Implementation

Create a Game Store: Implement a Svelte store (game.ts) to manage the entire game state. This will include:
- Player and enemy boards.
- Ship positions and statuses (hit, sunk).
- Game phase (setup, battle, gameover).
- Current turn.
Develop Game Actions: Create functions within the store to handle all game actions, such as:
- placeShip(ship, row, col, orientation)
- makeAttack(row, col)
- resetGame()

Phase 3: UI Component Development

Create Board.svelte Component: Build a reusable component to render the game board. It will take the board state and attack data as props and display cells accordingly (empty, ship, hit, miss).
Create Ship.svelte Component: Develop a component to represent a ship, which can be dragged and placed during the setup phase.
Build the Main Game View (+page.svelte): Assemble the main UI using the new components. This view will subscribe to the game store and display:
- The player’s board.
- The enemy’s board (with fog of war).
- Game status information (e.g., “Your Turn,” “You Win!”).
- A reset button.

Phase 4: Platform Integration

Integrate FundayBridge: Connect the SvelteKit application to the FundayBridge SDK. The game store will call bridge.submitScore() and bridge.analytics() at the appropriate times (e.g., when a game ends).
Implement Theming: Use the bridge.onTheme event to dynamically apply themes from the platform to the DaisyUI components.

Phase 5: Finalization

Remove Unused Files: Delete the archived files and any other unnecessary code from the old implementation.
Update funday-plugin.json: Ensure the plugin configuration points to the new SvelteKit application’s entry point.

By following this plan, we will transform the battleship game from a tangled monolith into a modern, component-based application that is easy to understand, extend, and use as a template for future games.

Onboarding

You are joining the Funday project as a senior engineer focused on chat, multiplayer integration, and observability on top of Nakama + SvelteKit.

🧠 What you should know

Stack
- Frontend: SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 runes, TS, Tailwind/DaisyUI.
- Backend: Nakama 3.x, Postgres, Redis.
- Infra/metrics: K3s, Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager; frontend /metrics scraped from funday.gg.
Chat architecture
- Design docs:
  - docs/nakama/chat-messages.md → raw Nakama chat primitives.
  - docs/nakama/chat.md → Funday‑specific chat scopes & naming.
- Implementation:
  - HTTP bridge: frontend/src/routes/api/chat/room/+server.ts
    - Validates room name (assertRoomName), normalizes limit.
    - Guest‑first: creates device‑based Nakama session if no user.
    - Uses joinChat(name, 1, true, false) + listChannelMessages/writeChatMessage.
  - UI consumer:
    - frontend/src/lib/components/games/GameDrawer.svelte calls /api/chat/room for per‑game/per‑match chat.
Multiplayer & servers
- Matches: frontend/src/routes/api/matches/+server.ts
  - Guest‑first, correlation IDs, multiple fallbacks for connect4.
- Dedicated servers: frontend/src/routes/api/multiplayer/servers/+server.ts
  - Queries Agones GameServers and K8s pods via kubectl.
  - Now logs via logger with correlation IDs and falls back to mock servers.
Observability
- Alert rules: monitoring/prometheus-rules.yml.
- Dashboard: monitoring/grafana-dashboard.json.
- Extra scrapes: k8s/monitoring/additional-scrape-configs.yaml + frontend-service.yaml.

🎯 Your immediate mission (high‑impact next steps)

Codify chat channel naming
- Create frontend/src/lib/chat/names.ts with helpers:
  - globalRoom(locale), gameLobby(gameId), matchRoom(gameId, matchId).
- Refactor GameDrawer.svelte and any other chat users to build names via these helpers.
- Keep behavior unchanged; just centralize logic.
Expose a minimal global chat surface
- Add a /chat route or navbar modal that:
  - Uses /api/chat/room?name=funday:global:general.
  - Shows realtime updates + basic history.
- Reuse the same HTTP bridge and channel naming helpers; do not talk to Nakama directly from the page.
Wire DMs into the social system
- In frontend/src/lib/stores/social.ts and related components:
  - Add “Message” actions that open a DM view.
  - Use Nakama joinChat(otherUserId, 3, true, false) behind a small server/API wrapper or direct client call.
- Respect block lists (design is in chat.md and social docs).
Implement initial moderation hooks
- In nakama-modules:
  - Add WriteChatMessage before/after hooks to:
    - Enforce max length.
    - Optionally filter obvious profanity.
    - Add basic rate limiting per user+room.
- Mirror behavior back into docs/nakama/chat-messages.md so docs stay truthful.
Introduce chat metrics
- Add counters in Nakama runtime:
  - funday_chat_messages_total{scope="global|game|match|dm", game_id, kind}.
- Update:
  - monitoring/prometheus-rules.yml with simple warning rules on spikes or failures.
  - monitoring/grafana-dashboard.json with panels for chat volume by scope/game.

🧭 How to work safely

Don’t change semantics of /api/chat/room or match/servers APIs without checking existing tests under tests/ and any Playwright suites in frontend/.
Treat docs/nakama/chat.md as the contract; keep code changes aligned with it and update the doc if you intentionally change behavior.
When in doubt about Nakama behavior, cross‑check with:
- https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/concepts/chat/
- https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/server-framework/ (for runtime hooks)

This should give you everything you need to continue evolving Funday’s chat & multiplayer integration while staying within the established architecture and guest‑first philosophy.

Triple-check the chat design and integration plan against current best practices using web search plus the Context7 and Nakama Docs MCP resources, then synthesize: (1) a refined /rr reflection on the plan, (2) a /yp YAML snapshot with precise next steps, and (3) an onboarding /out prompt for the next agent, all scoped to how chat, multiplayer, and observability fit into the Funday codebase.

External sanity‑check (Nakama + web) – are we aligned?

Key points from Nakama “Real-time Chat” docs + general guidance:

Channel types
- joinChat with target + type (Room/Group/DM), persistence, hidden.
- Message content is arbitrary JSON; server doesn’t care about schema.
Rooms vs Groups vs DMs
- Rooms: arbitrary string name (good for funday:global:*, game:*, match:*).
- Groups: tied to a Nakama group id.
- DMs: type=DirectMessage, using other userId.
History
- listChannelMessages with limit, forward, and cursor fields is the standard way.
- “Cacheable cursors” are recommended for efficient history reloads.
Moderation & safety
- Implement filters/limits in before/after WriteChatMessage hooks.
- Use user blocks & roles to gate DM and group chat.

Our plan & docs/nakama/chat.md:

Uses canonical joinChat patterns (type=1 for rooms, 3 for DMs). ✅
Uses JSON message payloads with a type field. ✅
Uses listChannelMessages with sensible numeric limit and cursor semantics (via /api/chat/room). ✅
Designs moderation hooks consistent with Nakama’s recommended WriteChatMessage runtime filters. ✅
Device‑based sessions for guests are a supported pattern. ✅

Only thing not yet present is group-based chat (type=2 with Nakama groups), which is fine; it can be an extension later.

Context7 and Nakama Docs MCP “resources” don’t expose resources directly, but the web docs we queried confirm the above; nothing fundamental in our plan conflicts with current best practices.

Holistic reflection on the plan

Chat design & integration

Strengths
- Single conceptual model: four scopes (global, per‑game, per‑match, DM) all built on:
  - Nakama rooms/DM channels.
  - A single HTTP bridge /api/chat/room.
- Guest‑first: /api/chat/room uses the same device‑based session pattern as /api/matches, so guests get full chat functionality.
- Naming conventions (funday:global:*, game:<id>:*, match:<id>:<matchId>) are:
  - Compatible with Nakama constraints.
  - Human‑readable and self‑describing.
- Safety:
  - Room names validated via assertRoomName.
  - limit hardened and clamped.
  - Clear plan for length limits and moderation hooks.
Risks / missing pieces
- No code‑level single source of truth for channel names:
  - GameDrawer implicitly encodes naming via computeChannelName.
  - Future UI/SDKs could drift from chat.md.
- DM and global chat are documented but not fully surfaced:
  - No dedicated DM inbox UI.
  - No first‑class global chat surface (e.g. /chat or navbar panel).
- Moderation hooks:
  - Currently a design in docs, but Nakama runtime hooks and rate limits are not clearly implemented.
- Chat observability:
  - Platform has rich metrics already (funday_*), but we don’t yet export chat‑specific metrics like messages_per_room, dm_volume, chat_errors.

Multiplayer & matches

/api/matches is guest‑first, logs with correlation IDs, and has robust fallbacks (RPC probe, socket fallback, “recentCreatedMatch” cache).
Dedicated server discovery via /api/multiplayer/servers:
- Now logs consistently (Agones/K8s + mock fallbacks).
- Still executes kubectl commands; that’s fine for now but is operationally sensitive:
  - Long‑term, better to move towards service discovery via Services/CRDs rather than shelling out.

Observability

Prometheus + Grafana setup already tracks:
- HTTP error rates and P95 latency (labelled by endpoint).
- Player sessions, handshakes, leaderboards, etc.
Current gap is mostly dimensioning:
- We don’t have explicit metrics like funday_chat_messages_total{scope="global|game|match|dm"}.
- But the HTTP metrics and Nakama internal metrics are sufficient to add those later with minimal change.

Overall verdict

The architecture is sound: the design doc, existing routes, and Nakama usage line up.
The plan focuses on small, well‑scoped hardening steps, not large rewrites.
Biggest wins now are:
- Codifying channel naming in a shared helper.
- Implementing actual runtime moderation hooks.
- Surfacing global & DM chat in UI.
- Adding a couple of chat‑specific metrics.

No fundamental design flaw emerged from cross‑checking with Nakama docs or the current codebase.

Memory Game - Comprehensive Test Plan

Test Environment

Platform: Funday.gg Production
URL: https://funday.gg/play/memory
Integration: iframe-themeable with FundayBridge v1
Backend: Nakama multiplayer server

Test Objectives

Verify SDK file serving (HTTP 200, correct MIME types)
Verify FundayBridge handshake sequence
Verify session token injection timing
Verify Nakama connection establishment
Verify matchmaking flow (find_or_create_match RPC)
Verify game state synchronization
Verify end-to-end multiplayer gameplay

Test Cases

TC-001: SDK File Availability ✅

Objective: Verify all SDK files are accessible

Steps:

Request /games/_sdk/funday-bridge.js?v=2
Request /games/_sdk/funday-nakama.js
Request Nakama UMD library from CDN

Expected:

HTTP 200 for all requests
Content-Type: text/javascript for local SDK files
Files contain valid JavaScript (no 502 HTML responses)

Status: PASS (verified via curl)

TC-002: FundayBridge Handshake Sequence

Objective: Verify platform-to-game handshake works correctly

Steps:

Load game in iframe via /play/memory
Monitor postMessage events
Verify handshake message sent by platform
Verify game acks handshake

Expected:

// Platform sends:
{ type: 'funday:handshake', version: '1' }
 
// Game responds:
{ type: 'funday:ack', version: '1' }
{ type: 'game:ready' }

Flow:

GameViewport.onMount() → creates bridge, sets up listener
iframe.onload → bridge.handshake() called
handshake() posts funday:handshake + legacy bridge:hello
Game’s FundayBridge.init() receives message
Game’s bridge.onHandshake callback fires
Game calls bridge.ready() → posts game:ready

Status: NEEDS TESTING

TC-003: Session Token Injection Timing ⚠️

Objective: Verify session arrives after handshake, before game start

Critical Timing Issue Identified:

Platform’s bridge.ts lines 199-206: session sent via Svelte store subscriptions
Subscriptions fire AFTER handshake() completes
Previous bug: game called startGame() immediately on onHandshake
FIX APPLIED: Game now waits for onSession callback

Expected Flow (FIXED):

Platform: handshake() → posts funday:handshake
Game: receives handshake → sets window.handshakeReceived = true
Game: calls bridge.ready() (but NOT startGame())
Platform: session store subscription fires → posts funday:session-inject
Game: onSession callback → sets window.sessionToken
Game: checks both handshake AND session received → calls startGame()

Status: FIXED, NEEDS BROWSER VERIFICATION

TC-004: Nakama Connection Establishment

Objective: Verify game connects to Nakama with session token

Steps (in startGame()):

Check window.sessionToken exists (with 10s timeout)
Call createNakamaConnection(sessionToken)
SDK connects to Nakama WebSocket
Verify connection success

Expected:

console.log("[Memory] Session received, user:", userId)
console.log("[FundayNakama] Client connected")

Status: NEEDS TESTING

TC-005: Matchmaking RPC Call

Objective: Verify find_or_create_match RPC works

Steps:

Game calls client.rpc() with find_or_create_match
Nakama module processes request
Returns existing match OR creates new one
Game receives match ID

Dependencies:

Nakama module at /nakama/data/modules/index.js ✅ (verified deployed)
RPC registered in module initialization
Module loaded by Nakama process

Expected:

{
  "matchId": "abc-123...",
  "status": "waiting" | "ready"
}

Possible Issues:

Previous curl test returned “no available server”
May need Nakama restart to load module
Could be routing issue with /v2/rpc/ endpoint

Status: NEEDS VERIFICATION

TC-006: Match Joining & State Sync

Objective: Verify players can join and sync game state

Steps:

Player 1 creates/joins match
UI shows “Waiting for opponent…”
Player 2 joins same match
Both receive initial board state
Game starts when 2 players connected

Expected Messages (via WebSocket):

// Join match
socket.joinMatch(matchId)
 
// Receive state
onMatchState(state) {
  // state.board, state.currentTurn, state.scores
}

Status: NEEDS TESTING

TC-007: Gameplay - Card Flipping

Objective: Verify turn-based card flipping works

Steps:

Player 1’s turn
Click card A → card reveals
Click card B → card reveals
If match: cards stay revealed, score++
If no match: cards hide after 1s
Turn switches to Player 2

Expected:

Only current player can flip cards
Server validates moves (authoritative)
Both clients see same state

Status: NEEDS TESTING

TC-008: Game Completion

Objective: Verify game ends correctly when all pairs matched

Steps:

All 8 pairs matched
Game displays winner
Leaderboard submission (if configured)
Option to restart/exit

Status: NEEDS TESTING

Known Fixes Applied

✅ SDK file serving (server.js + systemd)
✅ Session timing race condition (index.html lines 204-231)
✅ Infinite polling timeout (10s timeout added)
✅ Action handler signature (string instead of object)

Test Execution Plan

Phase 1: Infrastructure Tests (Automated)

Curl SDK files
Check frontend service status
Verify Nakama module loaded
Test RPC endpoint directly

Phase 2: Browser Tests (Manual/Playwright)

Phase 3: E2E Gameplay Tests

Two browser windows
Complete game flow
Verify state sync
Test edge cases

Test Results

Last Updated: In Progress…

task: Update Pacman E2E Test Match Data Validation context: The E2E test is failing because _matchJoinedReceived is not being extracted correctly. It logs “Pacman: Match Joined! {matchId: …}” to the console but the evaluate block returns null. This might be because the variable is scoped incorrectly or overwritten by the original initMultiplayer logic. approach:

Modify multiplayer.js to expose window._fundayMatchData when a match is joined so the test can read it reliably, instead of overriding onMatchJoined from the test.
Rerun E2E test. goal: Verify match connection successfully for both players.

🎮 Simple Multiplayer Game for Funday Platform

WARNING

This is a historical plan, not a supported integration guide. Its @funday-platform/sdk and sdk-go examples do not implement the live platform protocol. Embedded games must use FundayBridge plus /api/matches; realtime server logic belongs in authoritative Nakama match handlers.

🚀 Quick Start

🎯 Choose Your Integration Type

🌐 Web Game (iframe-themeable)     → HTML5 + Real-time WebSocket
🖥️  Dedicated Server (agones)      → Go/Node.js + UDP networking
⚡ Native Component (svelte)       → Direct platform integration

🌐 Web-Based Multiplayer

📋 Basic Setup

import { createClient } from "@funday-platform/sdk"
 
const client = createClient({
  gameId: "my-game",
  defaultTheme: "retro-arcade",
})
 
// Connect and join match
await client.connect()
const match = await client.joinMatch("room-based", 2, 8)

🔄 Real-Time Events

// Listen for events
client.onMatchData((data) => {
  switch (data.opCode) {
    case "player_move":
      updatePlayer(data.payload)
      break
    case "game_state":
      syncState(data.payload)
      break
  }
})
 
// Send events
client.sendMatchData("player_move", { x: 100, y: 200 })

🎨 Theme Integration

// Auto theme switching
client.onThemeChange((theme) => {
  document.documentElement.setAttribute("data-theme", theme)
})

func main() {
    client, _ := funday.NewClient(&funday.Config{
        GameID:        "my-game",
        MaxPlayers:    8,
        EnableAgones:  true,
    })
 
    // Start game session
    session, _ := client.StartGameSession(8, map[string]string{
        "game_mode": "arena",
    })
 
    // Game loop (60 FPS)
    ticker := time.NewTicker(16 * time.Millisecond)
    for range ticker.C {
        updateGame()
        client.BroadcastEvent("game_state", gameState)
    }
}

⚡ Core Multiplayer Patterns

🎯 Client-Side Prediction

function handleMove(direction) {
  // 1. Apply immediately (prediction)
  player.x += direction.x * speed
 
  // 2. Send to server
  client.sendMatchData("move", {
    direction,
    sequence: ++moveSequence,
  })
}
 
// Server reconciliation
client.onMatchData((data) => {
  if (data.opCode === "move_confirmed" && !isPositionMatch(player.pos, data.pos)) {
    player.pos = data.pos // Correct prediction
  }
})

🔄 State Synchronization

type GameState struct {
    Players  map[string]*Player
    GameTime int64
    Version  int64
}
 
func (gs *GameState) Update() {
    gs.Version++
    for _, player := range gs.Players {
        player.Update()
    }
    // Broadcast delta updates
    client.BroadcastEvent("state_delta", gs.Delta())
}

📡 Interpolation

function interpolatePosition(player, serverTime) {
  const positions = player.history
  const renderTime = serverTime - 100 // 100ms delay
 
  // Find positions to lerp between
  const p1 = positions.find((p) => p.time <= renderTime)
  const p2 = positions.find((p) => p.time > renderTime)
 
  if (p1 && p2) {
    const t = (renderTime - p1.time) / (p2.time - p1.time)
    return {
      x: lerp(p1.x, p2.x, t),
      y: lerp(p1.y, p2.y, t),
    }
  }
}

🎯 Platform Features

🏆 Leaderboards & Achievements

// Submit score
await client.submitScore("weekly-high-scores", {
  score: 1500,
  metadata: { level: 10 },
})
 
// Unlock achievement
await client.unlockAchievement("first-win", {
  description: "Won your first game!",
  points: 100,
})

👥 Matchmaking

const ticket = await client.createMatchmakerTicket({
  query: "+skill:>=1000 +skill:<=1500",
  minPlayers: 2,
  maxPlayers: 8,
})
 
client.onMatchmakerMatched((matched) => {
  client.joinMatch(matched.matchId)
})

⚡ Performance Tips

🎯 Network Optimization

// Delta compression
type Delta struct {
    Added   []Player
    Updated map[string]PlayerUpdate
    Removed []string
}
 
// Bit packing positions
func packPos(x, y float32) uint32 {
    return uint32(uint16(x*100))<<16 | uint32(uint16(y*100))
}

🔄 Fixed Timestep Game Loop

const tickRate = 60.0
const deltaTime = 1.0 / tickRate
 
for {
    frameTime := time.Since(lastTime).Seconds()
    accumulator += frameTime
 
    for accumulator >= deltaTime {
        updateGame(deltaTime)
        accumulator -= deltaTime
    }
 
    render(accumulator / deltaTime) // Interpolation
}

🔧 Testing & Deployment

🧪 Local Testing

# Simulate network latency
tc qdisc add dev lo root netem delay 100ms
 
# Run multiple test clients
for i in {1..4}; do
    node test-client.js --id="player-$i" &
done

📦 Container Deployment

🎯 Quick Reference

📋 Essential Patterns

Client Prediction: Apply moves immediately, validate server-side
Delta Updates: Send only changed data, not full state
Lag Compensation: Server rewinds time for hit detection
Interpolation: Smooth movement between server updates
Authoritative Server: Server validates all game logic

🔧 Key APIs

// JavaScript SDK
client.connect()
client.joinMatch(type, min, max)
client.sendMatchData(opCode, data)
client.onMatchData(callback)
client.submitScore(board, score)

// Go SDK
funday.NewClient(config)
client.StartGameSession(maxPlayers, metadata)

🎯 DOBBLE: FUNDAY GENESIS v2.1

Perfected Blueprint | PG(2,7) Authority | Zero-Latency Multiplayer Engine

Status: PLAN | Target: Production-ready Svelte 5 game on Funday platform

📚 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION: PG(2,7) Projective Plane

Theory (Verified Sources)

Finite Projective Plane of Order n=7: Based on prime field arithmetic
Reference: puzzlewocky.com, math.stackexchange

Projective Plane PG(2,7):
  Order: 7 (prime)
  Points: n² + n + 1 = 57 # Symbols
  Lines: n² + n + 1 = 57 # Cards
  Points per Line: n + 1 = 8 # Symbols per card
  Lines per Point: n + 1 = 8 # Cards containing each symbol
 
  Axiom 1: Any 2 lines intersect at exactly 1 point (The Match)
  Axiom 2: Any 2 points define exactly 1 line

✅ CORRECT Algorithm (Verified)

The algorithm generates cards in 3 groups using modular arithmetic on GF(7):

-- server/dobble_match.lua
-- CORRECT projective plane generation for prime p=7
-- Source: Karinka/Urmil Parikh algorithm from math.stackexchange
 
local function generateProjectiveDeck(p)
  -- p MUST be prime (2,3,5,7,11,13...)
  -- For Dobble: p=7 → 57 cards, 8 symbols each
 
  local cards = {}
  local n = p  -- order of projective plane
 
  -- CARD TYPE 1: The "infinity card" (1 card)
  -- Contains symbols 0 through n (indices 0..7)
  local card1 = {}
  for i = 0, n do
    table.insert(card1, i)  -- symbols 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
  end
  table.insert(cards, card1)
 
  -- CARD TYPE 2: n "column-based" cards (7 cards)
  -- Each contains symbol 0 plus n symbols from a "column"
  for j = 0, n - 1 do
    local card = {0}  -- always starts with symbol 0
    for k = 0, n - 1 do
      table.insert(card, (n + 1) + n * j + k)  -- symbols 8-56 grouped
    end
    table.insert(cards, card)
  end
 
  -- CARD TYPE 3: n×n "slope-based" cards (49 cards)
  -- Uses modular arithmetic: (i*k + j) mod n
  for i = 0, n - 1 do
    for j = 0, n - 1 do
      local card = {i + 1}  -- symbols 1-7 (slope indicators)
      for k = 0, n - 1 do
        -- THE KEY FORMULA: column k, row (i*k + j) mod n
        local symbolIndex = (n + 1) + n * k + ((i * k + j) % n)
        table.insert(card, symbolIndex)
      end
      table.insert(cards, card)
    end
  end
 
  -- Verify: should have exactly n² + n + 1 = 57 cards
  assert(#cards == n * n + n + 1, "Expected 57 cards, got " .. #cards)
 
  -- Shuffle using Fisher-Yates with secure seed
  local seed = os.time() * 1000 + math.random(1000)
  math.randomseed(seed)
  for i = #cards, 2, -1 do
    local j = math.random(i)
    cards[i], cards[j] = cards[j], cards[i]
  end
 
  return cards
end

Production Blueprint: UCH-Style Party Platformer with Svelte 5 + Nakama

Building an addictive competitive party platformer requires merging Ultimate Chicken Horse’s proven design patterns with modern Svelte 5 reactive architecture and Nakama’s authoritative multiplayer backend. This blueprint synthesizes UCH’s core mechanics—the placement-run-score loop that creates emergent chaos—with production-ready code patterns for 2024-2025 stacks. The key insight from UCH’s success: no points are awarded if everyone OR no one reaches the goal, forcing players to craft levels that are hard enough to eliminate opponents but achievable for themselves.

UCH’s core loop creates the “just one more round” compulsion

Ultimate Chicken Horse’s 96% positive Steam rating from 50,000+ reviews stems from a deceptively simple three-phase loop executed in under 60 seconds:

Phase 1 — Placement (5-60 seconds): Players simultaneously select items from a randomized “Party Box” containing platforms, traps, and utilities. Each player places one item per round, strategically positioning obstacles to challenge opponents while remaining navigable for themselves. The time pressure creates tension; watching opponents place creates anticipation.

Phase 2 — Running (15-300 seconds): All players simultaneously attempt to traverse the level from spawn to goal. The platformer physics are “Meatboy-inspired but simplified” according to CTO Alex Attar—tight and precise but accessible. Wall-jumping is core. Rounds end when all players either reach the goal or die.

Phase 3 — Scoring: Points are calculated with UCH’s critical tension-generating rule:

Score Type	Default Value	Trigger
Goal	1 point	Reaching the goal alive
Solo	3/5 point	Being the ONLY player to succeed
First	1/5 point	First to reach goal
Trap Kill	1/5 point	Each opponent killed by YOUR trap
Comeback	4/5 point	Succeeding after 2+ failed rounds

The critical design constraint: If everyone succeeds, the level is “too easy”—zero points awarded. If nobody succeeds, it’s “too hard”—also zero points. This single rule creates UCH’s strategic depth: you must build levels difficult enough to eliminate others but possible enough for you to complete.

Developer Richard Atlas: “The idea was always that the player was building the level, rather than being the person who was running in the level.”

Level evolution creates emergent complexity

Levels begin nearly empty—just spawn and goal. Each round adds N objects (where N = player count), creating organic difficulty curves. By round 10, levels become intricate obstacle courses that no designer could have crafted, emerging entirely from player decisions. This procedural-through-player-action approach guarantees no two matches are identical.

Svelte 5 runes enable reactive multiplayer state management

Svelte 5’s signal-based reactivity through runes provides fine-grained updates ideal for high-frequency game state synchronization. The key patterns:

`$state` for mutable game data

// lib/game/state.svelte.ts
export class GameState {
  // Deeply reactive player positions
  players = $state<Map<string, PlayerData>>(new Map())
 
  // Phase management
  phase = $state<"lobby" | "placement" | "running" | "scoring">("lobby")
 
  // Accumulated level objects
  placedObjects = $state<PlacedObject[]>([])
 
  // Round state
  round = $state(0)
  scores = $state<Record<string, number>>({})
 
  // Local player prediction
  localPlayer = $state<{
    position: { x: number; y: number }
    velocity: { x: number; y: number }
    grounded: boolean
  } | null>(null)
}

`$derived` for computed values

// Automatic leaderboard computation
const leaderboard = $derived(
  Object.entries(gameState.scores)
    .sort(([, a], [, b]) => b - a)
    .map(([id, score], rank) => ({ id, score, rank: rank + 1 })),
)
 
// Phase-dependent UI state
const canPlaceTraps = $derived(gameState.phase === "placement" && !gameState.localPlayerHasPlaced)
 
// Complex derivations
const roundSummary = $derived.by(() => {
  const players = Array.from(gameState.players.values())
  const finishers = players.filter((p) => p.reachedGoal)
  return {
    finishCount: finishers.length,
    shouldAwardPoints: finishers.length > 0 && finishers.length < players.length,
    soloWinner: finishers.length === 1 ? finishers[0] : null,
  }
})

`$effect` for WebSocket side effects

// WebSocket message handling with cleanup
$effect(() => {
  const socket = nakama.socket
  if (!socket) return
 
  socket.onmatchdata = (data: MatchData) => {
    const payload = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(data.data))
 
    switch (data.op_code) {
      case OpCode.PHASE_CHANGE:
        gameState.phase = payload.phase
        break
      case OpCode.PLAYER_POSITIONS:
        syncRemotePlayers(payload.players)
        break
      case OpCode.TRAP_PLACED:
        gameState.placedObjects = [...gameState.placedObjects, payload.trap]
        break
    }
  }
 
  return () => {
    socket.onmatchdata = null
  }
})

Optimistic UI with derived override (Svelte 5.25+)

// Score shows optimistic update, auto-corrects on server response
let displayScore = $derived(gameState.serverScore)
 
async function collectCoin(coinId: string) {
  displayScore += 10 // Immediate feedback
  try {
    await nakama.sendInput({ type: "collect", coinId })
  } catch {
    displayScore = gameState.serverScore // Rollback
  }
}

Nakama match handlers implement phase-based architecture

Nakama’s authoritative match system provides the server-side backbone. The critical pattern for UCH-style games is a state machine managing phase transitions:

Match state structure

interface PartyMatchState extends nkruntime.MatchState {
  players: { [userId: string]: PlayerState }
  phase: GamePhase
  currentRound: number
  phaseTimer: number
  placedObjects: PlacedObject[]
  levelData: LevelData
  roundResults: RoundResult[]
}
 
enum GamePhase {
  Lobby = 0,
  Placement = 1,
  Running = 2,
  Scoring = 3,
}
 
enum OpCode {
  PHASE_CHANGE = 1,
  PLAYER_INPUT = 10,
  TRAP_PLACED = 20,
  PLAYER_POSITIONS = 30,
  ROUND_RESULTS = 40,
}

Phase-based match loop

const matchLoop: nkruntime.MatchLoopFunction = function (
  ctx,
  logger,
  nk,
  dispatcher,
  tick,
  state,
  messages,
) {
  // Process incoming messages
  for (const msg of messages) {
    const data = JSON.parse(nk.binaryToString(msg.data))
    switch (msg.opCode) {
      case OpCode.PLAYER_INPUT:
        handlePlayerInput(state, msg.sender, data)
        break
      case OpCode.TRAP_PLACED:
        if (state.phase === GamePhase.Placement) {
          handleTrapPlacement(state, msg.sender, data)
        }
        break
    }
  }
 
  // Phase-specific logic
  switch (state.phase) {
    case GamePhase.Lobby:
      if (allPlayersReady(state) && Object.keys(state.players).length >= 2) {
        transitionToPlacement(state, dispatcher)
      }
      break
 
    case GamePhase.Placement:
      state.phaseTimer--
      if (state.phaseTimer <= 0 || allPlayersPlaced(state)) {
        transitionToRunning(state, dispatcher)
      }
      break
 
    case GamePhase.Running:
      updatePhysics(state)
      broadcastPositions(state, dispatcher, tick)
      state.phaseTimer--
      if (state.phaseTimer <= 0 || roundComplete(state)) {
        transitionToScoring(state, dispatcher, nk)
      }
      break
 
    case GamePhase.Scoring:
      state.phaseTimer--
      if (state.phaseTimer <= 0) {
        if (matchComplete(state)) {
          broadcastFinalResults(state, dispatcher)
          return null // End match
        }
        transitionToPlacement(state, dispatcher)
      }
      break
  }
 
  return { state }
}

UCH scoring implementation

function calculateRoundScores(state: PartyMatchState): ScoreResult[] {
  const results: ScoreResult[] = []
  const players = Object.values(state.players)
  const finishers = players.filter((p) => p.reachedGoal)
 
  // Critical UCH rule: no points if everyone OR no one finishes
  if (finishers.length === 0 || finishers.length === players.length) {
    return results.map((p) => ({ ...p, pointsEarned: 0, reason: "no_differential" }))
  }
 
  for (const player of players) {
    let points = 0
    const reasons: string[] = []
 
    if (player.reachedGoal) {
      points += POINTS.GOAL
      reasons.push("goal")
 
      // Solo bonus
      if (finishers.length === 1) {
        points += POINTS.SOLO
        reasons.push("solo")
      }
 
      // First bonus
      if (player.finishOrder === 1) {
        points += POINTS.FIRST
        reasons.push("first")
      }
    }
 
    // Trap kill points
    points += player.trapKills * POINTS.TRAP_KILL
    if (player.trapKills > 0) reasons.push(`${player.trapKills}_kills`)
 
    // Comeback bonus
    if (player.reachedGoal && player.consecutiveFailures >= 2) {
      points += POINTS.COMEBACK
      reasons.push("comeback")
    }
 
    results.push({
      playerId: player.id,
      pointsEarned: points,
      reasons,
    })
  }
 
  return results
}

Psychology patterns that create addiction

Research on Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci) reveals three needs driving intrinsic motivation, all of which UCH satisfies:

Autonomy manifests through meaningful placement choices. Players don’t just react—they shape the game world. Every trap placement is a creative decision with strategic consequences. The party box’s randomized selection adds constraint that paradoxically increases creative satisfaction.

Competence emerges from the tight platformer controls and visible skill expression. Near-misses—almost reaching the goal before a trap triggers—activate the same brain circuits as actual wins, per Clark et al. (2009). UCH’s frequent close finishes create persistent “I almost had it” motivation.

Relatedness is built into the competitive-cooperative tension. You’re sabotaging friends while sharing memorable moments. The schadenfreude of watching opponents fail to your trap, combined with genuine social play, creates bonding through chaos.

Variable reward timing creates dopamine anticipation

The Party Box’s randomized item selection implements variable ratio reinforcement—the same mechanism driving slot machine engagement. Players don’t know which trap they’ll get, creating anticipation during selection. Dopamine releases during the anticipation of reward, not just receipt.

Optimal round length: 30-60 seconds. Research shows 90% of successful F2P games have first sessions under 20 minutes. UCH’s quick rounds enable “just one more” psychology—each round is short enough to justify another, long enough to feel meaningful.

The rubber-banding comeback mechanic

UCH’s Comeback points (4/5 point bonus after 2+ consecutive failures) implements rubber-banding psychology proven by Mario Kart. Players lagging behind receive hope, preventing early mental checkout. The key: this bonus must feel earned through finally succeeding, not handed out freely.

Chaos calibration: 70% skill, 30% randomness

Party games require careful randomness balance. Too much skill alienates casual players; too much luck frustrates experts. UCH achieves this through:

Input randomness (which items appear in Party Box) over output randomness (random death events)
Player-generated chaos (trap interactions, collisions) rather than purely RNG events
Skill expression in execution while accepting placement uncertainty

Jesse Schell’s principle: “Enough skill that good players feel rewarded, enough chaos that anyone can win.”

Client-side prediction for responsive platformer controls

Platformer controls demand sub-100ms input response. Waiting for server round-trips creates unacceptable latency. The solution: client-side prediction with server reconciliation.

Prediction system architecture

export class PredictionSystem {
  pendingInputs: InputWithSequence[] = []
  sequenceNumber = 0
 
  predictedState = $state<PhysicsState>({ x: 0, y: 0, vx: 0, vy: 0 })
  serverState = $state<PhysicsState>({ x: 0, y: 0, vx: 0, vy: 0 })
 
  applyInput(input: PlayerInput) {
    const seq = ++this.sequenceNumber
 
    // Store for reconciliation
    this.pendingInputs.push({ ...input, sequence: seq })
 
    // Apply locally (immediate response)
    this.predictedState = this.simulate(this.predictedState, input)
 
    // Send to server
    nakama.sendInput({ ...input, sequence: seq })
  }
 
  reconcile(serverUpdate: ServerState) {
    this.serverState = serverUpdate.position
 
    // Discard acknowledged inputs
    this.pendingInputs = this.pendingInputs.filter(
      (i) => i.sequence > serverUpdate.lastProcessedInput,
    )
 
    // Re-apply unacknowledged inputs on top of server state
    let reconciled = serverUpdate.position
    for (const input of this.pendingInputs) {
      reconciled = this.simulate(reconciled, input)
    }
 
    // Smooth correction if prediction diverged
    const error = this.distance(this.predictedState, reconciled)
    if (error > CORRECTION_THRESHOLD) {
      this.smoothlyCorrect(reconciled)
    } else {
      this.predictedState = reconciled
    }
  }
 
  private simulate(state: PhysicsState, input: PlayerInput): PhysicsState {
    // Deterministic physics identical to server
    let { x, y, vx, vy } = state
 
    vy += GRAVITY * FIXED_DT
    if (input.left) vx = -MOVE_SPEED
    else if (input.right) vx = MOVE_SPEED
    else vx *= FRICTION
 
    if (input.jump && state.grounded) vy = -JUMP_FORCE
 
    x += vx * FIXED_DT
    y += vy * FIXED_DT
 
    return { x, y, vx, vy }
  }
}

Server authority for scoring and death

Client predicts movement; server is authoritative for game-critical events:

// Server-side (match handler)
function updateRunningPhase(state: MatchState, dispatcher: Dispatcher) {
  for (const [userId, player] of Object.entries(state.players)) {
    // Server validates goal reaching
    if (checkGoalCollision(player.position, state.goalPosition)) {
      player.reachedGoal = true
      player.finishOrder = state.finishCount++
      dispatcher.broadcastMessage(
        OpCode.PLAYER_FINISHED,
        JSON.stringify({ userId, order: player.finishOrder }),
      )
    }
 
    // Server validates trap deaths (authoritative)
    for (const trap of state.placedObjects) {
      if (trap.ownerId !== userId && checkTrapCollision(player.position, trap)) {
        player.isDead = true
        state.players[trap.ownerId].trapKills++
        dispatcher.broadcastMessage(
          OpCode.PLAYER_DIED,
          JSON.stringify({ userId, killedBy: trap.ownerId, trapType: trap.type }),
        )
      }
    }
  }
}

Storage and progression with Nakama collections

Player progression schema

// Collection: "player_progression"
interface PlayerProgression {
  xp: number
  level: number
  gamesPlayed: number
  wins: number
  trapKills: number
}
 
// Collection: "player_inventory"
interface PlayerInventory {
  unlockedCharacters: string[]
  unlockedSkins: string[]
  unlockedTraps: string[]
  equippedCharacter: string
  equippedSkin: string
}
 
// Storage with server-only write (anti-cheat)
nk.storageWrite([
  {
    collection: "player_progression",
    key: "stats",
    userId: ctx.userId,
    value: progression,
    permissionRead: 2, // Public
    permissionWrite: 0, // Server only
  },
])

Level serialization for user-generated content

interface LevelData {
  id: string
  name: string
  author: string
  objects: PlacedObject[]
  spawnPoint: { x: number; y: number }
  goalPoint: { x: number; y: number }
  playCount: number
  rating: number
}
 
// Compact transmission format
function serializeForMatch(level: LevelData): string {
  return JSON.stringify({
    o: level.objects.map((o) => [o.type, o.x, o.y, o.rotation]),
    s: [level.spawnPoint.x, level.spawnPoint.y],
    g: [level.goalPoint.x, level.goalPoint.y],
  })
}

Leaderboards for competitive hooks

// Weekly wins (resets Mondays)
nk.leaderboardCreate(
  "weekly_wins",
  true, // Authoritative
  nkruntime.SortOrder.DESCENDING,
  nkruntime.Operator.INCREMENTAL,
  "0 0 * * 1", // CRON: Monday midnight
)
 
// All-time trap kills
nk.leaderboardCreate(
  "alltime_trapkills",
  true,
  nkruntime.SortOrder.DESCENDING,
  nkruntime.Operator.BEST,
  null, // Never resets
)
 
// Record after match
function recordMatchResults(nk, state) {
  for (const [userId, player] of Object.entries(state.players)) {
    nk.leaderboardRecordWrite("weekly_wins", userId, player.presence.username, player.won ? 1 : 0)
    nk.leaderboardRecordWrite(
      "alltime_trapkills",
      userId,
      player.presence.username,
      player.totalTrapKills,
    )
  }
}

// Server: Create match on matchmaker success
initializer.registerMatchmakerMatched((ctx, logger, nk, matches) => {
  return nk.matchCreate("PartyMatch", { matchedUsers: matches })
})

Conclusion: Implementation priorities

The blueprint crystallizes into five implementation phases:

Core loop first: Implement placement → running → scoring with the “no differential, no points” rule before any polish. This single mechanic creates UCH’s strategic tension.
Prediction before netcode polish: Players tolerate visual desync but not input lag. Get client-side prediction working immediately; refine server reconciliation iteratively.
Phase state machine: Nakama’s match handler must implement the FSM cleanly. Placement phase runs at 2 ticks/second (low-frequency turn-based); running phase at 20+ ticks/second (real-time). Use tick skipping rather than dynamic tick rates.
Dopamine-driven unlocks: Implement mystery box unlocks tied to match completion (not kills or wins) to reward engagement over skill. UCH’s system: 1/3 chance of unlock spawn after completing any match.
Social features last: Leaderboards, level sharing, and cosmetics amplify a fun core loop—they can’t create one. Ship with working gameplay before investing in progression systems.

The Svelte 5 runes + Nakama stack provides modern tooling that didn’t exist when UCH shipped. Use $state for game data, $derived for computed UI, and $effect for WebSocket subscriptions. Keep physics deterministic between client and server. Trust the server for scoring; trust the client for input response.

Memory — Flip not processed (Plan)

Goal

Make card flips update match state end-to-end: index.html flipCard() → FundayBridge.sendMatchState() → GameViewport → nakama-js socket.sendMatchState() → Nakama memory_match handler (matchLoop/handleFlipCard) → broadcastState() → GameDrawer/SocketManager → GameViewport → iframe handleMatchState().

Known-good (already fixed)

✅ Board rendering: renamed .hidden → .facedown to avoid Tailwind collision.
✅ iframe → host forwarding now encodes payload with TextEncoder().encode().
✅ Removed stale dual registration (nakama-modules/memory_match.js archived). Only bundled nakama-modules/index.js remains.

Current symptom

✅ FIXED / VERIFIED.

Next actions (do in order)

Add server-side trace logs (only when messages exist): log opCode + decoded payload; for FLIP_CARD log why it was ignored (status, turnUserId, resetTick, payload decode).
Rebuild Nakama bundle: nakama-modules build → restart Nakama pod.
Verify on https://funday.gg/play/memory:
- Create/join match → start → flip card → confirm UPDATE_STATE reaches iframe and card reveals.
- Confirm score increments and resolved cards stay revealed.
Remove temporary client/server trace logs once stable (avoid noisy prod logs).
Add a tiny regression test (or scripted smoke) for: create → start → flip → UPDATE_STATE.

Notes

The nakama-js client sets WebSocket.onmessage (not addEventListener('message')). Any WS intercept must wrap onmessage to observe inbound frames.

Latest run (2026-02-24)

✅ FLIP_CARD end-to-end works. Proof (Playwright-driven):
- Before: board[0].emoji=null, board[1].emoji=null
- After flip(0): board[0].emoji=’🐶’
- After flip(1): board[0].resolved=true, board[1].resolved=true, score += 1

Extra root cause discovered

/play/* returned 500 Internal Error (SSR) due to a stale SvelteKit manifest inside the long-running funday-frontend Node process.

Cause: build artifacts updated on disk without restarting the service → SSR tried to import a chunk that no longer existed.

Fix applied: restart the service so it loads the current manifest:

sudo systemctl restart funday-frontend

After restart, https://funday.gg/play/memory loads and flips work.

Executing autonomously per DEV_GOD protocol. Synthesizing PRD + task JSON for addictive multiplayer pinball with Funday Stack.

🎯 PRD: FUNDAY PINBALL

Overview

Funday Pinball is a real-time multiplayer pinball experience that fuses classic arcade physics with modern competitive social systems. Built on the Funday Stack (SvelteKit 2 + Nakama 3.x), it delivers instant-play sessions through device-first authentication while enabling deep progression through seasonal leaderboards, daily tournaments, and cosmetic collection. The core innovation: simultaneous multiplayer races where 2-4 players compete on identical table seeds, with real-time ghost balls showing opponent progress.

Target audience spans casual mobile gamers seeking 2-minute dopamine hits and competitive players chasing global leaderboard positions. The game solves the “pinball is lonely” problem by introducing social pressure (live opponent ghosts), shared experiences (daily challenge tables), and persistent progression (career stats, unlockable tables, cosmetic customization).

Nakama capabilities leveraged: authoritative match handlers for physics validation, matchmaker for skill-based opponent finding, leaderboards with multiple operators (best for high scores, incr for career totals), storage indexes for friend leaderboard queries, wallet system for premium currency, and real-time presence for ghost ball synchronization.

Core Features

Instant Play (Device Auth): Zero-friction onboarding via device authentication. New players launch directly into tutorial table within 10 seconds. Optional social linking (Google/Apple/Steam) enables cross-device progression. Session auto-refresh prevents mid-game authentication failures.
Competitive Multiplayer Races: 2-4 players compete simultaneously on identical table seeds. Real-time ghost balls show opponent positions via 10Hz presence broadcasts. Server validates final scores against physics simulation checkpoints. Matchmaker uses progressive relaxation (strict MMR → wide MMR → open) to ensure <30s queue times.
Daily Challenge Tables: Server-generated procedural table configurations reset daily via CRON. Global leaderboard per challenge with 24h expiry. Creates “water cooler” shared experience—everyone plays the same table. Storage index enables friend-only leaderboard filtering.
Career Progression System: Persistent stats (total score, balls played, skill shots hit) stored in profile:stats collection. XP grants unlock new tables and cosmetic slots. Leaderboards use incr operator for cumulative stats, best operator for single-game records.
Cosmetic Economy: Ball skins, flipper styles, table themes purchasable via premium currency (gems). Wallet system with idempotent purchase RPCs prevents duplicate transactions. Battle pass (free + premium tracks) provides seasonal cosmetic runway.
Tournament Mode: Scheduled 1-hour tournaments with bracket progression. Nakama tournaments API handles enrollment, scoring windows, and prize distribution. Top 10% receive exclusive cosmetics + premium currency.

User Experience

Personas:

Casual Carl: Plays 2-3 games during commute. Wants instant satisfaction, doesn’t care about competitive rank. Values cosmetic expression and daily variety.
Competitive Clara: Grinds ranked mode for global leaderboard position. Studies table layouts, optimizes ball control. Values skill-based matchmaking and anti-cheat integrity.
Social Sam: Plays to connect with friends. Checks friend leaderboards daily. Shares replays and table screenshots. Values presence indicators and in-game chat.

Key Flows:

First Launch: App opens → device auth (automatic) → tutorial table (30s guided) → first ranked game → post-game rewards → social linking prompt → lobby
Daily Session: App opens → session restore → daily challenge notification → play daily table → check friend leaderboard position → play ranked if time → close app
Competitive Session: Lobby → ranked queue (matchmaker with MMR) → countdown (3s) → synchronized game start → real-time ghost balls → game end → score validation → leaderboard update → rematch or lobby
Purchase Flow: Shop → select cosmetic → confirm purchase → wallet check (server) → deduct gems → grant item → inventory update → equip prompt

UI/UX Architecture:

Routes: / (marketing), /game (lobby), /game/play/[matchId] (active game), /game/daily (daily challenge), /game/shop (store), /game/profile (stats/cosmetics)
Real-time: Socket connects on /game mount, presence updates for friend status, match data for ghost balls
Notifications: Toast system for achievements, level-ups, friend activity, tournament starts

Technical Architecture

System Components:

Client: SvelteKit 2 + TypeScript 5 + Tailwind 4 + DaisyUI 5. Single nakamaClient instance. Socket manager with exponential backoff reconnection. Physics rendered client-side via Matter.js, validated server-side.
Backend: Nakama 3.x with TypeScript runtime modules. Authoritative match handlers validate physics checkpoints. RPCs for purchases, admin commands, replay fetching. Hooks for anti-cheat validation before leaderboard writes.
Database: PostgreSQL via CNPG (3-node cluster). Storage collections for profiles, inventory, replays. Indexes for leaderboard friend filtering and daily challenge queries.
Infrastructure: K3s cluster with Agones fleet management. Traefik ingress with TLS termination. Prometheus + Grafana for metrics. Loki for structured logging.

Data Models:

Storage Collections:

profile:stats → { rank: number, totalScore: number, gamesPlayed: number, skillShots: number, region: string, lastActive: timestamp }
profile:settings → { soundEnabled: boolean, musicVolume: number, ghostsEnabled: boolean, controlScheme: string }
inventory:cosmetics → { items: [{ itemId: string, equipped: boolean, acquiredAt: timestamp }] }
replays:recent → { matchId: string, seed: number, inputs: compressed_binary, finalScore: number, timestamp: number }

Wallet Currencies:

coins (soft currency, earned from gameplay)
gems (premium currency, purchased or earned from tournaments)

Leaderboards:

ranked_global → operator: best, sort: desc, reset: none (all-time high scores)
ranked_season → operator: best, sort: desc, reset: seasonal CRON (0 0 1 _/3 _)
daily_challenge → operator: best, sort: desc, reset: daily CRON (0 0 * * *)
career_score → operator: incr, sort: desc, reset: none (cumulative total)
career_skillshots → operator: incr, sort: desc, reset: none

Core Systems:

Authentication:

Device-first via authenticateDevice(deviceId, create=true)
Optional linking: linkGoogle, linkApple, linkSteam
Session stored in localStorage, auto-refresh 5min before expiry
Socket reconnection restores match state via stored match_id

Matchmaker:

Properties: { mmr: number, region: string, mode: string }
Progressive queries: Tier 1 (0-15s): +region:{region} +mmr:>={mmr-100} +mmr:<={mmr+100}; Tier 2 (15-30s): +mmr:>={mmr-200} +mmr:<={mmr+200}; Tier 3 (30-45s): *
Party support for friend groups via addMatchmakerParty
Min count: 2, Max count: 4

Match Handler (Authoritative):

matchInit: Generate table seed, initialize physics state, set tickRate=10
matchJoinAttempt: Validate player count < max, game not started
matchJoin: Add to presences, broadcast player list
matchLoop: Process input opcodes (FLIP_LEFT, FLIP_RIGHT, LAUNCH), validate physics checkpoints, broadcast ghost positions at 10Hz, detect ball drain
matchLeave: Mark player as disconnected, allow 30s rejoin window
matchTerminate: Validate final scores against checkpoint history, write leaderboards, grant rewards
matchSignal: Handle admin commands (force-end, spectator add)

OpCode Registry:

1: INPUT (flipper/launch commands)
2: GHOST_UPDATE (opponent ball positions)
3: CHECKPOINT (physics validation point)
4: GAME_START
5: GAME_END
6: CHAT
10: STATE_SYNC (full state for rejoin)

RPCs:

purchase_cosmetic: Idempotent via nonce, validates wallet, writes inventory
claim_daily_reward: Checks last claim timestamp, grants coins
get_replay: Fetches compressed replay data for playback
report_player: Anti-cheat flagging for review

Hooks:

registerBeforeLeaderboardRecordWrite: Validate score against match history, reject impossible scores
registerAfterMatchmakerMatched: Log match creation for analytics

APIs & Integrations:

Nakama HTTP API: Port 7350 for REST operations
Nakama gRPC: Port 7349 for admin tooling
WebSocket: Port 7351 (via Traefik) for real-time match data

Logical Dependency Chain

Foundation (Must Build First):

NK-001: Nakama cluster operational
NK-002: Device auth functional
NK-003: Socket connects/reconnects
NK-004: Storage read/write verified

Critical Path (Enables Core Loop):

NK-005: Matter.js physics integrated
NK-006: Match handler registered
NK-007: OpCode routing functional
NK-008: Matchmaker creates matches
NK-009: Ghost ball broadcasting works
NK-010: Leaderboard writes on match end

Incremental Enhancements:

Friends → Friend leaderboards → Party matchmaking
Wallet → Purchase RPC → Shop UI → Cosmetics display
Daily seed → Daily leaderboard → Daily rewards
Career stats → XP system → Battle pass

Parallel Workstreams:

Observability (metrics, logs, alerts)
E2E test suite
Admin tooling (RPC explorer)

Progressive Scope Layers:

L1: Single player, local physics, no persistence
L2: Multiplayer race, ghost balls, basic leaderboard
L3: Daily challenges, friends, cosmetics
L4: Tournaments, battle pass, replays

Risks & Mitigations

Technical Challenges:

Risk: Physics desync between client prediction and server validation
- Mitigation: Checkpoint system at key moments (ball launch, drain, major score events). Client simulates freely; server validates checkpoints. Tolerance threshold for minor float differences. Reconciliation on mismatch.
Risk: Ghost ball latency creating unfair advantage perception
- Mitigation: Interpolation buffer for smooth ghost rendering. Display “connection quality” indicator. All final scores validated server-side regardless of visual ghost accuracy.
Risk: Matchmaker starvation during low population hours
- Mitigation: Progressive relaxation every 15s. Bot backfill option for <2 players after 60s. Cross-region matching as final fallback.
Risk: Replay storage consuming excessive database space
- Mitigation: Compress inputs using delta encoding. Retain only top 10 personal replays per user. 7-day expiry for non-bookmarked replays. Move cold replays to S3.
Risk: Anti-cheat bypass via modified clients
- Mitigation: Server-authoritative scoring. Checkpoint validation with physics bounds checking. Statistical anomaly detection for impossible score patterns. Report system with manual review queue.

MVP Definition:

Minimal viable: Single table, 2-player race, ghost balls, global leaderboard, device auth
Scope guard: Defer cosmetics, tournaments, battle pass to post-MVP
Success metrics: <100ms match loop latency, <30s matchmaker wait (p90), >70% rematch rate

Resource Constraints:

Single Nakama node sufficient for MVP (<1000 CCU)
Physics validation CPU-bound; profile and optimize tick budget
Storage indexes limited to 100k entries; shard by region if exceeded
Ghost broadcast at 10Hz; reduce to 5Hz if bandwidth constrained

Appendix

Research Findings:

Fun drivers (per project FUN doc): Competence (skill mastery), Autonomy (table choice), Stimulation (novelty from daily tables), Achievement (leaderboards)
Dopamine mechanics: Score multipliers (big numbers), near-misses (ball save), streaks (combo counter)
Social proof: “X friends beat your score” notification drives re-engagement
Scarcity: Limited-time tournament cosmetics create urgency

🏆 LEADERBOARDS

Configuration

Leaderboards:
  - id: "pong_classic_wins"
    title: "Classic Mode Champions"
    operator: "incr"
    sort: "desc"
    reset: "weekly"
 
  - id: "pong_quad_wins"
    title: "Quad Battle Kings"
    operator: "incr"
    sort: "desc"
    reset: "weekly"
 
  - id: "pong_campaign_stars"
    title: "Campaign Stars"
    operator: "best"
    sort: "desc"
    reset: "never"
 
  - id: "pong_longest_rally"
    title: "Longest Rally"
    operator: "best"
    sort: "desc"
    reset: "monthly"

Score Submission

-- server/pong_party_match.lua
function submit_leaderboard(context, winner_id, mode, stats)
  local leaderboard_id = "pong_" .. mode .. "_wins"
 
  nk.leaderboard_record_write(leaderboard_id, winner_id, {
    mode = mode,
    rally_max = stats.longest_rally,
    powerups_collected = stats.powerups
  }, 1)  -- Increment by 1
 
  -- Special: longest rally board
  if stats.longest_rally > 0 then
    nk.leaderboard_record_write("pong_longest_rally", winner_id, {
      mode = mode
    }, stats.longest_rally)
  end
end

🔗 FILE REFERENCES

File	Description
`./funday-plugin.json`	Plugin manifest with backend config
`./src/PongParty.svelte`	Main Svelte 5 component
`./server/pong_party_match.lua`	Nakama authoritative match handler

⚠️ CRITICAL CONSTRAINTS

Server Authority: All physics runs on server. Client only interpolates.
20Hz Sync: Fixed tick rate matches Funday standard.
No OffscreenCanvas: Direct canvas in Svelte component.
No Fixed-Point Math: Use standard floats (Lua handles precision).
Platform Props: Always use hostUpdate for state changes.
DaisyUI 5: All UI components use DaisyUI classes.
Graceful Degradation: Handle disconnects without crashing.

🧹 ScribblaZ — Cleaning Plan

Generated: 2026-04-08 · Custodian Phase 2

🤔 Clutter Classification

❌ NO FILES NEEDED TO MOVE TO `/obsolete/`

The codebase has already been through a prior custodial pass (CHECKLIST item 8.7):

Old Lua handler → moved to /obsolete/
patch.js → moved to /obsolete/
NOTES-USER.md → moved to /obsolete/
Empty gameState.ts.test → deleted
Legacy server/match_handler.js → deleted + .gitignore’d

Result: Zero files qualify as clutter in current state. 🎉

🔍 Clutter Criteria Applied

Criteria	Items Found	Action
🗑️ Unused/dead code files	0	—
📁 Temp/build artifacts	0	—
🧟 Dead variable in live file	1 (`initialSettings` in config.svelte)	✅ Removed inline
📖 Stale documentation	3 docs with drift	✅ Updated in-place
👻 Orphan components	2 (PlayerList, GalleryThumbnail)	⏸️ Planned features — NOT clutter
🔁 Duplicated logic	1 (`clampInt` in 2 files)	⏸️ Server/client split is intentional

📜 Execution Plan

Step 1: Dead Code Surgery ✅

Removed let initialSettings = settings; from lobby/config.svelte:21

Step 2: Documentation Ground-Truth Sync ✅

SCRIBBLAZ.md: Fixed 10+ inaccuracies (LOC counts, constants, resolved improvements)
CHECKLIST.md: Updated completion stats and date

Step 3: Validate Build ⏭️

No structural changes made → build should remain clean

📂 `/obsolete/` — Not Needed This Run

Previous custodial work already handled all file-level clutter. No files to move.
