ROADMAP.md is the new growth canon: five arcs from the shipped week to DESIGN.md's landscaping business (teeth → job board/clients → slow pressure → the season → the water table), with the earned principles up front — every arc ends live, no mechanic without a surface, balance is measured, one new variable per night. SPRINT15.md and the lane prompts draw arc 1's gates; John resolved S14 gate 4 as all-three-sequenced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# HARD YARDS — rig it, then survive the night
|
||
|
||
*(repo/product history: the project was codenamed SHADES through Sprint ~8;
|
||
the shipped game is HARD YARDS. Internal docs and the gitea repo name still
|
||
say shades — that's the same thing, not a second game.)*
|
||
|
||
Geometry/tower-defense: you're a small person rigging shade sails against
|
||
Australian storms. three.js r175 (vendored, no build step) + a zero-dep
|
||
Python server. Everything the repo needs is in the repo.
|
||
|
||
## Run it
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
python3 server.py --port 8801 # any free port
|
||
# game: http://localhost:8801/web/world/index.html
|
||
# selftest: http://localhost:8801/web/world/selftest.html (must be all green)
|
||
# 2D proto: http://localhost:8801/prototype/index.html (the original thesis)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
No pip, no npm, no build. Python 3.8+ and a browser.
|
||
|
||
## Read in this order
|
||
|
||
1. `DESIGN.md` — the design canon (what the game is)
|
||
2. `PLAN3D.md` — the build canon (stack, contracts, lane model)
|
||
· `docs/MANUAL.md` — the HOW: tool map, asset/site cookbooks, earned gotchas
|
||
· `ROADMAP.md` — the growth canon (the arcs from the week to the business)
|
||
3. `THREADS.md` — the append-only lane log. **The project's memory.** Read the
|
||
last few `[I]` integrator entries to know the current state.
|
||
4. `SPRINT15.md` — the current sprint (highest-numbered SPRINTn.md wins)
|
||
5. `LANE_PROMPTS.md` — copy-paste prompts per lane, per sprint (bottom = newest)
|
||
|
||
## The lane model (how this repo is built)
|
||
|
||
Five parallel Opus agents ("lanes"), each in its OWN clone, on its own branch:
|
||
|
||
| lane | owns |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| A | main.js, world.js, camera, hud, week, sites, server — shell & integration, merge shepherd |
|
||
| B | sail.js, rigging — cloth sim, economy, balance.test pen |
|
||
| C | weather, skyfx, debris, storm/site wind data |
|
||
| D | player, interact, ladder, broom — and the designated playtester |
|
||
| E | Blender asset factory (tools/blender), models/, textures |
|
||
|
||
Hard rules (they exist because each was earned — see THREADS):
|
||
- **One clone per lane.** Never two agents in one working tree.
|
||
- Rebase onto latest `main` before starting; small commits; push your branch.
|
||
- File ownership is the merge strategy; cross-lane needs go in THREADS.md.
|
||
- Selftest green after every landing. Skips must be real. An assert that
|
||
cannot fail is decoration.
|
||
- All sim code is deterministic `(dt, t)` — no Date.now, no rAF.
|
||
- Measure, don't reason: the repo's biggest bugs were all "a number gathered
|
||
from the wrong harness". When two harnesses disagree, find the variable.
|
||
|
||
## Setup on a new machine
|
||
|
||
Gitea's SSH runs over tailscale (the public host is Cloudflare-proxied, no
|
||
direct SSH). Add to `~/.ssh/config`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Host gitea.partly.party
|
||
HostName 100.71.119.27
|
||
Port 222
|
||
User git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
git clone git@gitea.partly.party:monster/shades.git ~/Documents/shades
|
||
for L in A B C D E; do
|
||
git clone git@gitea.partly.party:monster/shades.git ~/Documents/shades-lane$L
|
||
git -C ~/Documents/shades-lane$L checkout -B lane/$(echo $L | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z') origin/lane/$(echo $L | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')
|
||
done
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`~/Documents/shades` is the integration checkout (main; where merges and
|
||
sprint docs happen). The five `shades-lane*` clones are where lane agents run.
|
||
|
||
Per clone, once: `cp .claude/launch.example.json .claude/launch.json` and pick
|
||
a port of your own (integration 8823, lanes A–E 8824–8828). The real
|
||
launch.json is untracked — six checkouts on one laptop can't share one port.
|
||
|
||
## Sprint cycle
|
||
|
||
1. Fire lanes with the newest prompts at the bottom of `LANE_PROMPTS.md`
|
||
(Lane A usually first if the sprint gives it rulings/blocking items).
|
||
2. Lanes work, push their branches, log in THREADS.md.
|
||
3. Integrate in the main checkout: merge `origin/lane/{e,c,b,d}` (THREADS.md
|
||
conflicts resolve keep-both-chronological; real code conflicts get read),
|
||
run selftest, play the result, write `SPRINT(n+1).md` + prompts, push main
|
||
AND fast-forward all five `lane/*` branches to main.
