GOAL
Build a browser-based TypeScript implementation of the game described in flashmania_description.md, including physics, special track pads, and audio.
- +0Prompt · +0Implement the game described in flashmania_description.md in TypeScript.
- +0Agent did · +0Inspected the repo, found only flashmania_description.md, .gitignore and skills-lock.json; planned a Canvas-based time-trial racer with physics surfaces, boosters and engine effects.
- +0Fail · +0Discovered the tracked flashmania-game/ project files (main.ts, package.json, dist assets) were already deleted in the worktree before any edits were made; paused work to ask how to proceed.
- +0Agent did · +0On goal continuation, recovered the original flashmania-game source, README, package.json, index.html and tsconfig from git HEAD and restored them into flashmania-game/.
- +0Fail · +0Ran npm install at the repo root, which failed with ENOENT because there is no package.json there.
- +0Agent did · +0Reran npm install and npm run build inside flashmania-game/ directory; install and build succeeded (12 packages added, build completed).
- +0Agent did · +0Reviewed the restored main.ts implementation covering physics, surfaces, pads, medals, ghost replay and audio; recorded a memory note about running npm from flashmania-game/; ran a completion audit mapping objective requirements to workspace evidence.
- +0mOutcome · +0mGoal marked complete: Flashmania TypeScript game restored and built successfully in flashmania-game/, with physics, special pads, medals, best-time ghost replay and WebAudio cues.
VERDICT
I'd note upfront that the workspace might already contain a partially-built project so the agent checks git history before assuming a greenfield build. The moment that actually mattered was recovering the deleted flashmania-game files from git HEAD instead of rewriting everything from scratch, and then realizing npm needed to run from the subdirectory, not the repo root.
