Pattern Relay - Mini Spec
Asset Budget
- Initial transfer target: 300 KB
- Interactive transfer target: 1200 KB
- Runtime RAM target: 150 MB
- GPU texture target: 64 MB
Overview
Apply matrix transforms and submit the target pattern.
Learning Lens
Focus on transforms, invariance, logic and how local actions shape global behavior.
Controls
Controls are provided by page-level buttons/inputs and support keyboard + pointer/touch where implemented.
Core Loop
Initialize state, process user input, update simulation/model state, and render metrics for immediate feedback.
Scoring and Metrics
Primary score/loss metrics are shown in each page HUD or metrics panel and should remain stable across resets.
Failure States
Failure is either explicit run termination (arcade style) or numerical/logic divergence in labs. Recovery is via reset.
Determinism and Randomness
Manifest flag: uses_randomness=true. Pages with randomness should expose seeded reset behavior via TWGame hooks.
Instrumentation Contract
Expose compact JSON-safe metrics through TWGame.setInspector(() => ({ ... })) and keep payload lightweight.
Accessibility Notes
- Keep focus-visible styles enabled for all interactive controls.
- Keep status text in polite live regions where metrics update rapidly.
- Preserve keyboard parity for core interactions.
- Validate controls on narrow mobile widths (~390px).
Asset Packs
Required Packs
core-ui
Optional Packs (after_start)

Test Checklist
- Load page and verify no console errors.
- Run one full interaction cycle (play/train/solve).
- Verify reset works without page reload.
- Verify keyboard-only interaction for primary controls.
- Toggle inspector with I and confirm payload updates.
- Check mobile viewport (~390px width).
- Validate reduced-motion behavior if animations are present.
- Validate Back to Games and Specs navigation links.
