Create chat/ package with Message type, Room (NATS pub/sub + buffer),
DB persistence helpers, and a unified templ component parameterized by
Config (CSS prefix, post URL, color function, key propagation).
Both c4game and snakegame now use chat.Room for message management and
chatcomponents.Chat for rendering, eliminating the duplicated
ChatMessage types, chat templ components, chatAutoScroll scripts,
color functions, and inline buffer management.
Both game and snake packages had identical PlayerID types and the snake
package imported game.GenerateID. Now both use player.ID and
player.GenerateID from the shared player package.
Migrate from the via meta-framework to direct dependencies:
- chi for routing, templ for HTML templates, datastar for SSE/reactivity
- Feature-sliced architecture (features/{auth,lobby,c4game,snakegame}/)
- Shared layouts and components (features/common/)
- Handler factory pattern (HandleX(deps) http.HandlerFunc)
- Embedded NATS server (nats/), SCS sessions (sessions/), chi router wiring (router/)
- Move ChatMessage domain type from ui package to game package
- Remove old ui/ package (gomponents-based via/h views)
- Remove via dependency from go.mod entirely
When a game finishes (win or draw), players see a "Play again" button.
Clicking it creates a new game and the opponent sees a "Join Rematch"
link to join the same game.
- User registration/login with bcrypt password hashing
- SQLite database with goose migrations and sqlc-generated queries
- Games and players persisted to database, resumable after restart
- Guest play still supported alongside authenticated users
- Auth UI components (login/register forms, auth header, guest banner)
- Enter key now triggers createGame action on home page
- Remove redundant setNickname action from home page
- Remove unused code: join channel, Leave(), Stop() methods
- Consolidate ID generation into game.GenerateID()
- Remove unused CreatedAt field from Game struct
Real-time two-player Connect 4 using Via framework with:
- Game creation and invite links
- SSE-based live updates for both players
- Win detection with animated highlighting
- Session-based nickname persistence
