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.
