Star Wars - Wild Space

Exploitable ring only (outer Ø100, inner Ø60). Planet positions are deterministic from the server world seed; stats stay hidden until you click a tile. Reveals are persisted in PostgreSQL.

Runtime config (file + volume)

Edit config/game.settings.json on the host (mounted into the container at /app/config/game.settings.json). The server reloads it when the file’s mtime changes, on a schedule controlled by configReloadIntervalSeconds (minimum 5s), so frequent polling is avoided when nothing changed.

Field	Meaning
`clickCooldownSeconds`	Cooldown between new reveals (same as before).
`databaseWipeoutIntervalSeconds`	World period length in seconds (default `21600` = 6h). The world seed is `swg-<slot>` with `slot = floor(UTC unix seconds / this value)`. When the slot changes, `grid_cells` is truncated (full wipe).
`debugModeForTeams`	If `true` or string `"true"` / `"True"` (case-insensitive), the Blue / Red segmented control is shown; if `false`, it is hidden.
`configReloadIntervalSeconds`	How often the server checks the config file (mtime); also used by the client to poll `/api/config`.

GET /api/config returns these values plus worldSeed, seedPeriodEndsAtUtc, seedPeriodStartsAtUtc.

Teams (blue / red)

With debugModeForTeams: use the Team control (top-left) to switch perspective.
Your discovered tiles use your team color (blue: bright cyan; red: red when revealed). Unclaimed ring tiles use the classic idle tint for both teams.
Tiles discovered by the other team appear grey, show no planet, and are not clickable. First reveal owns the tile (discovered_by).

Cooldown

After revealing a new tile, a cooldown runs (top-right). During cooldown you cannot reveal additional unseen tiles, but you can still click tiles your team already discovered to view their stats.

Run with Docker Compose (Node + PostgreSQL)

From d:\Users\GaWin\Travaux\Code\star_wars_grid_game:

docker compose up --build

Open http://localhost:8080.

App: port 8080
Postgres: port 5432 (user game, password game, database star_wars_grid)
Config: host folder ./config is mounted to /app/config — edit game.settings.json without rebuilding the image.

Database persistence

PostgreSQL data is under ./data/postgres (bind mount). The world wipe only clears grid_cells when the UTC period slot changes; it does not delete the Postgres data directory.

Local dev (without Docker)

Requires PostgreSQL and DATABASE_URL, then:

npm install
$env:DATABASE_URL="postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/star_wars_grid"
npm start

Ensure config/game.settings.json exists (or copy from the repo).

API

GET /api/config — cooldown, wipe interval, debug flag, poll interval, worldSeed, period timestamps.
GET /api/grid/:seed — cells for that seed; 410 if seed is not the current world seed.
POST /api/cell/reveal — body { seed, x, y, team: "blue" \| "red" } — first reveal wins; 409 if the other team owns the tile; 410 if seed is stale.
