Two tabs of the same browser share localStorage, so both got the same persisted playerId and stepped on each other: matchmaking's waiting queue is keyed by playerId and dedupes a second queue:join as a no-op, so two tabs searching never both count as waiting; and re-identifying with the same playerId hijacks the ws registry's socket binding, tearing down the first tab's connection (surfacing as room:join replying 'room already has two players' once its creator's socket is dead). Move playerId/name from localStorage to sessionStorage: still stable across reloads within a tab (reconnect-by-refresh keeps the same identity), but each new tab gets a fresh UUID, so two tabs of one browser behave like two separate players. Not IP-related; no such restriction existed. |

Theme Guess
A browser game about syntax-highlighting themes. A snippet of code is rendered with every token type (keywords, strings, functions, variables, comments, ...) in a neutral color. You click a token, every token of that same kind lights up together, and you pick a color for it — repeat until the whole file is themed. Reveal shows how close your from-scratch palette landed to a real theme (Gruvbox, Tokyo Night, VS Code Dark+, GitHub Dark, Dracula, Catppuccin), token kind by token kind.
The project is moving from a single-player-only page toward supporting multiplayer matchmaking (race another player to the closest match on the same theme/snippet). This repo is split into a frontend game client and a backend matchmaking/realtime server so that work can land independently.
Layout
frontend/ Canvas game client: Vite + TypeScript, no UI framework.
backend/ Matchmaking + realtime session server: Node, HTTP + WebSocket.
Each package has its own package.json, dependencies, and scripts — see
frontend/README.md-equivalent notes below and backend/src/*/README.md
for what's reserved but not implemented yet.
Running the frontend
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev # Vite dev server with HMR
npm run build # type-check + production bundle to dist/
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit only
Running the backend
cd backend
npm install
npm start # node src/index.js
npm run dev # same, with --watch
Boots a plain HTTP server (with a /health check) and attaches a
WebSocket server to it. Matchmaking and room/session logic are not
implemented yet — see backend/src/matchmaking/README.md and
backend/src/rooms/README.md.
Status
Single-player game: playable. Multiplayer: backend is a bare HTTP+WS
scaffold with no matchmaking logic yet; frontend has no multiplayer UI
yet. See AGENTS.md for architecture notes and contribution conventions.
