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
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).
