System Architecture

Page Flow

Entry (+layout.svelte)
  ├─ onMount: loadSettings() — restore emptyCellColor from loto_settings,
  │   apply to --empty-cell-bg CSS variable before pages render
  │
  ├─ / (Player Page)
  │   ├─ Load loto_grid, loto_crossed from localStorage
  │   ├─ Display 9×9 grid (empty cells use --empty-cell-bg from settings)
  │   ├─ Generate new grid on button click
  │   ├─ Mark/unmark cells on click
  │   └─ Show bingo popup + "Chờ X" toasts
  │
  └─ /master (Host Page)
      ├─ Load loto_master (called/remaining)
      ├─ Display 11×9 master board (empty cells use --empty-cell-bg)
      ├─ Draw button shows next called number (highlighted in red)
      ├─ Display host's own card (loto_master_card prefix)
      └─ New Game button resets called/remaining

State Model

Player Card (storagePrefix="loto")

grid: number[][]          // 9×9 numbers (0 = empty)
crossed: boolean[][]      // 9×9 marked state

Each row has exactly 5 non-zero numbers AND each column has exactly 5 (constraint-aware picker — no slack). Numbers within a column are sorted ascending top-to-bottom (lô tô hội chợ Tân Tân convention).

Host State (storagePrefix="loto_master")

called: number[]          // [5, 23, 67, ...] — drawn in order
remaining: number[]       // [1, 2, 3, ...] minus called — shuffled initially

Host's Card (storagePrefix="loto_master_card")

Same as player card; isolated by prefix to allow host to play.

localStorage Keys

Prefix	Grid Key	Crossed Key
"loto"	loto_grid	loto_crossed
"loto_master_card"	loto_master_card_grid	loto_master_card_crossed

(Special) loto_master stores { called, remaining } for the master state.

All keys are JSON stringified. Corruption is silent (returns null).

basePath & Asset Resolution

Production Mode

NODE_ENV=production
basePath="/loto"
Output: /loto/index.html, /loto/_next/...
GitHub Pages serves: https://user.github.io/loto

Development Mode (Local)

NEXT_DEV_PROFILE not set
basePath="" (empty)
Dev server: http://localhost:3000

Code-Server Mode

NEXT_DEV_PROFILE=codeserver
CODESERVER_HOST=<proxy-host>
CODESERVER_PORT=3000 (or env)
basePath="/absproxy/{PORT}"
HMR Origin: CODESERVER_HOST
Access: https://<proxy>/absproxy/3000/

Note: /absproxy/{port} preserves the basePath through the proxy. /proxy/{port} strips it before forwarding, breaking HMR.

Client-Only Architecture

All pages are client-only (no SSR) because:

• ssr: false in +layout.js disables server-side rendering
• localStorage is unavailable on server
• State initialization (grid, crossed) must run in browser

Files that are client-only:

• src/routes/+page.svelte (player page)
• src/routes/master/+page.svelte (host page)
• src/lib/PlayerBoard.svelte (shared component)

Data Flow: Mark a Cell

1. User clicks button in PlayerBoard
2. handleCellClick(row, col) fires
3. crossed = crossed.map(...) toggled state
4. $effect listens to crossed → saveCrossedState()
5. localStorage updated with new crossed state
6. $derived updates rowCompleteness matrix
7. If row complete → bingo popup; if waiting → toast

Data Flow: Initial Load

1. Component mounts
2. $effect runs initial loadGrid(storagePrefix)
3. If found, load crossed state (or initialize as all false)
4. Pre-populate celebratedRows + notifiedWaitingRows sets
5. Pass grid + crossed to UI render

Animations

Name	Duration	Use
fade-in	0.2s	Modal background entry
pop-in	0.4s	Bingo popup scale + scale-back
bounce-slow	1.5s infinite	Emoji on bingo popup
spin-slow	3s infinite	✨ on bingo popup
spin-slow-reverse	3s infinite reverse	🎊 on bingo popup
toast	5s forwards	"Chờ X" notification fade in/build
cell-crossed::after	instant	Red diagonal line in marked cells

Offline Capability

All state is localStorage. No API calls. Fully functional offline after initial load.
