• protocol-constants.js — Export event code enums matching server

Scenes:

• BootScene — Create services, connect WebSocket, load assets, transition to menu
• MenuScene — Nickname input, lobby, room list, difficulty selector
• GameScene — Board + stones, click handling, move history, turn indicator, game over

Services:

• EventBus — Pub/sub decoupling scenes and services
• ConnectionService — WebSocket client with heartbeat + auto-reconnect
• GameStateService — Client-side state container

Game Objects:

• Board — 15x15 wood-textured grid
• Stone — Gradient stone sprite with drop animation

UI:

• MenuUI — Nickname form, room list, settings
• GameUI — HUD, move history, game over modal, toasts

Continuous Integration

GitHub Actions:

build.yml

• Trigger: push/PR on master (ignores .md and .gitignore)
