Evan Pelle a7f992e9b0 refactor: convert to npm-workspaces monorepo (engine/core-public/shared/client/server)
Restructure the single src/ tree into an npm-workspaces monorepo under
packages/, rename core -> engine, extract a types-only core-public layer,
and break the pre-existing engine -> client dependency cycle.

Structure (packages/):
  core-public  public API/wire schemas + shared enums (clean leaf)
  shared       framework-agnostic helpers (clean leaf)
  engine       deterministic simulation (was src/core)
  client       rendering/UI (was src/client)
  server       coordination (was src/server)

Dependency DAG: engine -> {core-public, shared}; client -> {core-public,
shared, engine}; server -> {core-public, engine}.

- npm workspaces: root package.json workspaces + per-package package.json;
  tsconfig.base.json holds shared options + path aliases
  (core-public/* shared/* engine/* client/* server/*) resolved uniformly by
  tsc, Vite (resolve.tsconfigPaths), Vitest, and tsx. Lockfile regenerated.
- core-public: moved Schemas/ApiSchemas/CosmeticSchemas/StatsSchemas/
  ClanApiSchemas/WorkerSchemas/Base64/PatternDecoder; extracted the enums
  (GameTypes), GameEvent type, emoji table, and GraphicsOverrides schema.
  Engine re-exports the moved enums/types so existing imports keep working.
- Broke engine -> client cycle:
  - renderNumber/renderTroops -> shared/format
  - NameBoxCalculator moved into engine
  - username validation returns translation key + params; client translates
  - applyStateUpdate moved to client (operates on the render-only PlayerState)
  - Config/UnitGrid/execution-Util/GameImpl now use structural read
    interfaces (engine/game/ReadViews: PlayerLike/UnitLike/GameLike) instead
    of importing client view classes; client imports view classes from a new
    client/view barrel; deleted the engine/game/GameView re-export shim.
- Build/deploy updated: vite.config, index.html, eslint, Dockerfile
  (copies packages/ + tsconfig.base.json before npm ci), .vscode, tests.

Verified: tsc --noEmit clean; 1364 + 65 tests pass; production vite build
succeeds; engine has zero client/server imports; core-public and shared are
dependency leaves.

Pathfinding Playground

Interactive web-based visualization tool for exploring and comparing pathfinding algorithms.

Usage

Start the server from the project root:

# With path caching (default)
npx tsx tests/pathfinding/playground/server.ts

# Without path caching
npx tsx tests/pathfinding/playground/server.ts --no-cache

Then open http://localhost:5555 in your browser.

Options

  • --no-cache - Disable path caching in NavMesh to measure uncached performance

Clanker Disclosure

The source code of both the UI and the backend is mostly generated by a robot and therefore probably unmaintainable by humans. Since this is meant to be one-off playground project the author has not put additional thought into the inner workings. The UI however is very highly opinionated, if you believe a clanker could do this first pass, you live in the (possibly not far off) future.
