SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rapidly validate game concepts or mechanics by performing a lightweight prototype workflow that bypasses production standards, producing throwaway code and a structured prototype report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a minimal prototype plan and directory structure for a given concept.
  • Implement a throwaway prototype with relaxed coding standards and placeholder assets.
  • Generate a Prototype Report detailing hypothesis, approach, results, metrics, and recommendations for next steps.

Quick Start

Create a throwaway prototype plan and implement a minimal prototype in prototypes/[concept-name], then generate a REPORT.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I rapidly validate game mechanics with throwaway code?

To rapidly validate game mechanics with throwaway code, generate a lightweight prototype in an isolated directory using relaxed coding standards and placeholder assets to bypass production constraints.

What is a prototype report and what should it include?

A prototype report is a structured document detailing your validation hypothesis, approach, results, metrics, and recommendations for next steps to evaluate whether a game concept is viable.

How do I set up a directory structure for rapid prototyping?

Set up a directory structure for rapid prototyping by creating an isolated folder, such as prototypes/[concept-name], to keep throwaway code separate from your production codebase.

Can I use relaxed coding standards for early-stage concept validation?

Yes, you can use relaxed coding standards for early-stage concept validation to quickly implement minimal prototypes with placeholder assets, avoiding the overhead of production-level quality.

What is the best way to test early-stage game ideas without affecting production code?

The best way to test early-stage game ideas without affecting production code is to build isolated throwaway prototypes that generate a structured report, ensuring no production code is imported.

When should I avoid using throwaway code for rapid prototyping?

Avoid using throwaway code for rapid prototyping when your goal shifts from concept validation to building production features, as the relaxed standards and placeholder assets are not production-ready.
