# Fertig Classic Games

A Phaser 3.90 collection of classic tabletop games (Backgammon, Parchisi, ...)
and casino games (Blackjack, Texas Hold 'Em, ...). Games are single-player
against AI opponents.

**This is a fully static site — no server, no database, no accounts, no npm
needed to run it.** The frontend uses native browser ES modules (no bundler,
no build step) and loads Phaser from a CDN. All per-player data (a single local
profile, chips, match history, puzzle progress) lives in the browser's
`localStorage`. Word-game dictionaries and AI run client-side from the ported
engines in `src/words/`.

## Running / deployment

The repository root **is** the site. Serve it as static files from any web
server, at the domain root **or any subdirectory** (e.g. `example.com/games/`).
All asset paths are relative and anchored by `<base href="./">`, so no
configuration is needed. The only runtime files are `index.html`, `styles.css`,
and the `assets/`, `data/`, and `src/` directories.

To deploy into a parent site, copy those into the desired subdirectory:

```
cp -r index.html styles.css *.png favicon.ico assets data src /var/www/parent-site/games/
```

For local testing:

```
npm run serve     # python3 -m http.server on http://localhost:8000
```

The `tools/` directory holds offline dev tooling — puzzle generators and
`verify*` self-play scripts — run with plain `node` from the repo root
(e.g. `node tools/verifyBookwork.js`). It is not part of the deployed site.

## Features

- Account creation with email + username + password (bcrypt hashed)
- Email verification with configurable SMTP — falls back to logging dev links
  to the console when SMTP is not set up
- Session cookies backed by SQLite (httpOnly, SameSite=Lax)
- Profile management: display name, bio, avatar upload (PNG / JPEG / WebP)
- Match history (wins / losses / draws) recorded for single-player games
- Pluggable game registry — register tabletop or casino games server-side
- Single-player games against configurable AI opponents
- 1920×1080 canvas that scales to any viewport via `Phaser.Scale.FIT`
- Vector-only placeholder graphics — drop sprites in later without
  refactoring scenes
- Mouse + keyboard controls

---

## Prerequisites

- **Node.js 20 or newer** (uses `node --watch`, native fetch, ES modules)
- **npm 9 or newer**
- A C/C++ toolchain for `better-sqlite3` and `bcrypt` to build native bindings:
  - **Linux**: `build-essential`, `python3`
  - **macOS**: Xcode command line tools (`xcode-select --install`)
  - **Windows**: install **Visual Studio Build Tools 2022** with the
    "Desktop development with C++" workload and **Python 3.x** (add to PATH).
    Do **not** use the deprecated `windows-build-tools` npm package — it is
    broken on modern Node.js. See [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) for
    step-by-step instructions.

No bundler, no Docker, no external database required to get started.

---

## Quick start

```bash
git clone <this-repo>
cd fertig-classic-games

cp example.env .env
# Edit .env — at minimum, set SESSION_SECRET to a long random string.
# Generate one with:
#   node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(48).toString('hex'))"

npm install
npm run migrate
npm run dev
```

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. Register an account; if SMTP is
not configured (the default), the verification link is printed to the server
console — click it to verify.

## Configuration (`.env`)

All configuration lives in `.env` at the project root. Use `example.env` as
the template. Fields:

## Running the server

```bash
npm run dev        # node --watch, auto-restart on file changes
npm start          # plain node, production-style
npm run migrate    # apply any pending DB migrations
```

The server serves both the API (`/api/*`) and the static frontend (`/`,
`/src/...`, `/uploads/...`) on the same port.

After it starts you should see:

```
[server] listening on http://0.0.0.0:3000
```

## Database schema

Created by `server/db/migrations/001_init.sql`. Run `npm run migrate` to apply
any pending migrations.

- **`users`** — `id, email, username, password_hash, email_verified,
  verification_token, verification_expires_at, created_at`
- **`sessions`** — `id, user_id, expires_at, created_at`
- **`profiles`** — `user_id (PK/FK), display_name, avatar_path, bio,
  updated_at`
- **`games`** — `id, slug, name, category ('tabletop'|'casino'),
  max_players, supports_multiplayer`
- **`matches`** — `id, game_id, started_at, ended_at, status`
- **`match_players`** — `match_id, user_id, seat, result
  ('win'|'loss'|'draw'|'abandoned'), score`

Add new migrations as `server/db/migrations/00N_description.sql` — they are
applied in lexicographic order and tracked in `schema_migrations`.

---

## REST API

All endpoints are JSON. Session is carried by the `fcg_sid` cookie
automatically; the client uses `credentials: 'same-origin'` in fetch calls.

### Auth — `/api/auth`

| Method | Path        | Auth | Description                                                                                  |
|--------|-------------|------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| POST   | `/register` | —    | Body: `{ email, username, password }`. Creates user, sends verification, sets session.       |
| POST   | `/login`    | —    | Body: `{ identifier, password }` where `identifier` is email or username.                    |
| POST   | `/logout`   | —    | Destroys session.                                                                            |
| GET    | `/me`       | —    | Returns `{ user }` or `{ user: null }`.                                                       |
| GET    | `/verify`   | —    | `?token=...`. Marks user as verified. Returns HTML so a user clicking the email link sees text. |

### Profile — `/api/profile`

| Method | Path       | Auth      | Description                                                                       |
|--------|------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| GET    | `/`        | Required  | Returns the current user's profile.                                               |
| PATCH  | `/`        | Required  | Body: `{ displayName?, bio? }`. Returns the updated profile.                      |
| POST   | `/avatar`  | Required  | Multipart with field `avatar`. Stores the file and updates `avatar_path`.         |

### History — `/api/history`

| Method | Path  | Auth     | Description                                                |
|--------|-------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| GET    | `/`   | Required | Last 100 matches for the user, plus `{ wins, losses, draws }`. |

### Misc

| Method | Path           | Auth | Description                                          |
|--------|----------------|------|------------------------------------------------------|
| GET    | `/api/health`  | —    | `{ ok: true }`.                                      |
| GET    | `/api/games`   | —    | Lists registered games from `games/registry.js`.    |

---

## Frontend architecture

- **No bundler.** `public/index.html` uses an `<script type="importmap">` to
  resolve `phaser` to a CDN ES module. The rest of the app uses relative ES
  imports.
- **Scenes** live in `public/src/scenes/`. The flow is:
  `Boot → Preload → Landing → (Login | Register | Verify) → Profile |
  GameMenu → OpponentSelect → GameRoom`.
- **`auth` store** (`services/auth.js`) is a tiny pub-sub the scenes
  subscribe to so they re-render when the signed-in user changes.
- **`api`** (`services/api.js`) is a thin fetch wrapper that throws on
  non-2xx responses with `err.status` and `err.data` attached.
- **DOM-overlay inputs.** Phaser doesn't have a native text input, so
  `ui/TextInput.js` positions a real `<input>` element over the canvas and
  repositions it on scale-resize. The `#dom-layer` div has
  `pointer-events: none` so the canvas stays interactive, and child elements
  re-enable pointer events.

---

## Adding a new game

1. **Register the game on the server.** In `server/games/registry.js`:

    ```js
    registerGame({
      slug: 'cribbage',
      name: 'Cribbage',
      category: 'tabletop',         // or 'casino' or 'cards'
      minPlayers: 2,
      maxPlayers: 4,
      minOpponents: 1,
      maxOpponents: 3,
    });
    ```

    The game menu picks it up automatically.

2. **Implement the game scene.** Each game is a `Phaser.Scene` that reads its
   setup from the data passed by `GameRoomScene`:

    ```js
    // public/src/games/cribbage/CribbageGame.js
    import * as Phaser from 'phaser';

    export default class CribbageGame extends Phaser.Scene {
      constructor() { super('CribbageGame'); }
      init(data) {
        this.gameDef   = data.game;
        this.opponents = data.opponents;   // selected AI opponents
        this.playfield = data.playfield;
        this.cardBack  = data.cardBack;
      }
      create() { /* render board, run the game + AI locally */ }
    }
    ```

3. **Register the scene and route to it.** Add the scene to the `scene` array
   in `public/src/main.js`, then add its slug → scene-key mapping to the
   `slugDispatch` object in `public/src/scenes/GameRoomScene.js`.

4. **Record results (optional).** When a match finishes, `POST` to
   `/api/history/single-player` to record the win / loss / draw for history.

---

## Email verification

When `SMTP_HOST` is set, `nodemailer` is used to send a real email. When it's
empty, `server/email/mailer.js` instead prints the verification link to the
server console:

```
[mailer:dev] Verification link for user@example.com:
  http://localhost:3000/api/auth/verify?token=...
```

Click that link (or visit it in the browser) to verify the account. The
registration response also includes the dev link as `verification.devLink`,
which the frontend shows on the verify screen.

### Using Gmail / a real provider in development

Add to `.env`:

```
SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_SECURE=false
SMTP_USER=you@gmail.com
SMTP_PASS=your-app-password   # NOT your normal password, use an app password
SMTP_FROM="Fertig Classic Games <you@gmail.com>"
```

---

## Profile pictures

- Uploaded via `POST /api/profile/avatar` (multipart form, field name
  `avatar`).
- Stored on the filesystem under `UPLOAD_DIR` (default `./public/uploads`).
- The DB stores the **public path** (e.g. `/uploads/u1-1715800000-abcd.png`),
  not the file contents.
- The `public/uploads/` directory is gitignored. Back it up alongside
  `data/fertig.sqlite` if you want to preserve user content.

---

## Troubleshooting

**`SESSION_SECRET must be set in production`** — set a long random
`SESSION_SECRET` in `.env`. In `NODE_ENV=development` the server falls back
to an insecure default with a warning.

**`SqliteError: no such table: ...`** — you haven't run migrations. Run
`npm run migrate`.

**`better-sqlite3` or `bcrypt` build failure on install** — install platform
build tools (see [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)) and re-run `npm install`.

**Windows build failure / `windows-build-tools` error** — the
`windows-build-tools` npm package is deprecated and broken on modern Node.js.
Use one of these approaches instead:

*Option 1 — Re-run the Node.js installer (easiest)*: Download the Node.js
installer from nodejs.org. On the "Tools for Native Modules" step, check the
box to automatically install Chocolatey, Python, and VS Build Tools.

*Option 2 — Manual install*:
1. Download **Visual Studio Build Tools 2022** from Microsoft and install it
   with the **"Desktop development with C++"** workload selected.
2. Install **Python 3.x** from python.org, checking "Add to PATH" during
   installation.
3. Open an Administrator PowerShell and run:
   ```powershell
   npm install -g node-gyp
   ```
4. Re-run `npm install` in the project directory.

If you have the broken `windows-build-tools` package installed globally,
uninstall it first (run PowerShell as Administrator):
```powershell
npm uninstall -g windows-build-tools
```
If that fails with a permission error, manually delete
`C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\windows-build-tools`.

**Verification email never arrives** — if `SMTP_HOST` is empty, by design no
email is sent; check the server console for the dev link. If SMTP *is* set,
check provider auth (Gmail requires an app password, not your account
password) and `SMTP_PORT` / `SMTP_SECURE` for your provider.

**Avatar upload fails with `Unsupported image type`** — only the MIME types
in `ALLOWED_UPLOAD_MIME` are accepted. Add more if needed.

**Layout looks wrong / inputs misaligned** — the DOM overlay repositions on
the Phaser `resize` event. If you resize the window very fast, give it a
beat; if it persists, file an issue.

## Roadmap

- [ ] Smarter AI opponents per game
- [ ] Richer match history views and per-game stats
- [ ] Replace placeholder vector graphics with sprites

Contributions welcome — start by registering a game in `games/registry.js`
(see [Adding a new game](#adding-a-new-game)).
