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.
Wrap free persistence functions in instance methods for cleaner call
sites (gi.save() instead of saveGame(gi.queries, gi.game)). Methods
log errors via zerolog before returning them.
- Replace Create+Get+Update with UpsertGame/UpsertSnakeGame queries
- Extract free functions (saveGame, loadGame, etc.) from duplicated
receiver methods on Store and Instance types
- Remove duplicate generateID from snake package, reuse game.GenerateID
- Throttle snake game DB writes to every 2s instead of every tick
- Fix double-lock in c4game chat handler
- Update all code for sqlc pointer types (*string instead of sql.NullString)
- Add brotli compression (level 5) to long-lived SSE event streams
(HandleGameEvents, HandleSnakeEvents) to reduce wire payload
- Fix all errcheck violations with nolint annotations for best-effort calls
- Fix goimports: separate stdlib, third-party, and local import groups
- Fix staticcheck: add package comments, use tagged switch
- Zero lint issues remaining
Inline persistence logic directly into game stores and handlers:
- game/persist.go: DB mapping methods on GameStore and GameInstance
- snake/persist.go: DB mapping methods on SnakeStore and SnakeGameInstance
- Chat persistence inlined into c4game handlers
- Delete db/persister.go (GamePersister, SnakePersister, ChatPersister)
- Stores now take *repository.Queries directly instead of Persister interface
v.PubSub() was captured at startup before v.Start() initialized NATS,
so both stores held nil and notify() silently no-oped. Replace the
PubSub interface with a callback that evaluates v.PubSub() lazily at
call time.
Add solo mode where players survive as long as possible while tracking
score (food eaten). Single player games start with a shorter 3-second
countdown vs 10 seconds for multiplayer, maintain exactly 1 food item
for classic snake feel, and end when the player dies rather than when
one player remains.
- Add GameMode type (ModeMultiplayer/ModeSinglePlayer) and Score field
- Filter single player games from "Join a Game" lobby list
- Show "Ready?" and "Score: X" UI for single player mode
- Hide invite link for single player games
- Preserve game mode on rematch
Use via.OnKeyDownMap for snake keybindings, replacing the manual
dataExpr/rawDataAttr workaround. Window-scoped key handling removes
the need for tabindex/focus hacks, and WithPreventDefault on arrow
keys prevents page scrolling during gameplay.
Introduce a 60 FPS tick loop with a separate snake movement speed
(7 cells/s) so direction input is polled every frame but game state
only advances at the configured rate.
N-player (2-8) real-time Snake game alongside Connect 4.
Lobby has tabs to switch between games. Players join via
invite link with 10-second countdown. Game loop runs at
tick-based intervals with NATS pub/sub for state sync.
Keyboard input not yet working (Datastar keydown binding
issue still under investigation).
