+# Game Engine Testing Infrastructure
+
+This directory contains mocks and utilities for testing the Phaser-based game engine code.
+
+## Overview
+
+Testing Phaser game code is challenging because Phaser requires WebGL/Canvas support, which is not available in jsdom (the DOM implementation used by Vitest). This infrastructure provides:
+
+1. **Phaser Mocks** (`mocks/phaser.ts`) - Minimal mock implementations of Phaser classes
+2. **Test Utilities** (`helpers/gameTestUtils.ts`) - Helper functions to create mock game states and cards
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { MockScene, MockContainer } from '@/test/mocks/phaser'
+import { createMockGameState, createMockCard, setupMockScene } from '@/test/helpers/gameTestUtils'
+
+// Test a Phaser game object
+describe('MyGameObject', () => {
+  it('renders correctly', () => {
+    const { scene } = setupMockScene()
+    const myObject = new MyGameObject(scene, 100, 200)
+
+    expect(myObject.x).toBe(100)
+    expect(myObject.y).toBe(200)
+  })
+})
+
+// Test game logic with mock state
+describe('gameLogic', () => {
+  it('handles player actions', () => {
+    const gameState = createMockGameState({
+      current_player_id: 'player1',
+      turn_number: 3
+    })
+
+    const result = processPlayerAction(gameState, 'draw-card')
+    expect(result.success).toBe(true)
+  })
+})
+```
+
+## Phaser Mocks
+
+### Available Mock Classes
+
+| Mock Class | Real Phaser Class | Purpose |
+|------------|------------------|---------|
+| `MockEventEmitter` | `Phaser.Events.EventEmitter` | Event system |
+| `MockScene` | `Phaser.Scene` | Game scenes |
+| `MockGame` | `Phaser.Game` | Game instance |
+| `MockContainer` | `Phaser.GameObjects.Container` | Object containers |
+| `MockSprite` | `Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite` | Image sprites |
+| `MockText` | `Phaser.GameObjects.Text` | Text display |
+| `MockGraphics` | `Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics` | Shape drawing |
+
+### Using Phaser Mocks
+
+```typescript
+import { MockScene, MockContainer, MockSprite } from '@/test/mocks/phaser'
+
+describe('Card', () => {
+  it('displays card image', () => {
+    const scene = new MockScene('test')
+    const container = new MockContainer(scene, 0, 0)
+    const sprite = new MockSprite(scene, 50, 50, 'pikachu-card')
+
+    container.add(sprite)
+
+    expect(container.list).toContain(sprite)
+    expect(sprite.texture.key).toBe('pikachu-card')
+  })
+})
+```
+
+### Mock Limitations
+
+The mocks provide the minimal API surface needed for testing. They do **NOT** implement:
+
+- Actual rendering (no canvas output)
+- Physics simulation
+- Collision detection
+- Particle systems
+- Complex animations
+- Asset loading (mocked with immediate completion)
+
+If your test needs these features, consider:
+1. Extracting the logic into pure functions that can be tested without Phaser
+2. Using integration tests with a real Phaser instance (slower but more accurate)
+3. Using visual regression tests with Playwright (for rendering verification)
+
+## Test Utilities
+
+### Game State Helpers
+
+Create complete game states for testing game logic:
+
+```typescript
+import { createMockGameState, createGameScenario } from '@/test/helpers/gameTestUtils'
+
+// Basic game state
+const game = createMockGameState({
+  current_player_id: 'player1',
+  turn_number: 1,
+  phase: 'main'
+})
+
+// Complete scenario with cards
+const scenario = createGameScenario({
+  player1HandSize: 7,
+  player2HandSize: 7,
+  player1Active: createMockPokemonCard('fire', { name: 'Charmander', hp: 50 }),
+  player2Active: createMockPokemonCard('water', { name: 'Squirtle', hp: 50 }),
+  player1BenchSize: 3,
+  player2BenchSize: 2,
+  turnNumber: 5,
+  currentPlayer: 'player1'
+})
+```
+
+### Card Helpers
+
+Create various types of cards:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  createMockCardDefinition,
+  createMockPokemonCard,
+  createMockEnergyCard,
+  createMockTrainerCard
+} from '@/test/helpers/gameTestUtils'
+
+// Generic card
+const card = createMockCardDefinition({
+  id: 'my-card',
+  name: 'My Card',
+  hp: 100
+})
+
+// Type-specific helpers
+const pikachu = createMockPokemonCard('lightning', {
+  name: 'Pikachu',
+  hp: 60
+})
+
+const fireEnergy = createMockEnergyCard('fire')
+
+const potion = createMockTrainerCard('item', {
+  name: 'Potion'
+})
+```
+
+### Scene Setup
+
+Quickly set up a mock scene for testing:
+
+```typescript
+import { setupMockScene } from '@/test/helpers/gameTestUtils'
+
+describe('MyScene', () => {
+  it('initializes correctly', () => {
+    const { scene, game } = setupMockScene('my-scene')
+
+    // Use scene and game in tests
+    expect(scene.key).toBe('my-scene')
+    expect(scene.add.container).toBeDefined()
+  })
+})
+```
+
+## Testing Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Test Game Object Initialization
+
+```typescript
+import { MockScene } from '@/test/mocks/phaser'
+import { Card } from '@/game/objects/Card'
+import { createMockCardDefinition } from '@/test/helpers/gameTestUtils'
+
+describe('Card', () => {
+  it('initializes with card data', () => {
+    const scene = new MockScene('test')
+    const cardData = createMockCardDefinition({
+      name: 'Pikachu',
+      hp: 60
+    })
+
+    const card = new Card(scene, 0, 0, cardData)
+
+    expect(card.cardData.name).toBe('Pikachu')
+    expect(card.cardData.hp).toBe(60)
+  })
+})
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Test Event Handling
+
+```typescript
+import { MockScene } from '@/test/mocks/phaser'
+import { Board } from '@/game/objects/Board'
+
+describe('Board', () => {
+  it('emits zone click events', () => {
+    const scene = new MockScene('test')
+    const board = new Board(scene, gameState)
+
+    let clickedZone: string | null = null
+    scene.events.on('zone:click', (zone: string) => {
+      clickedZone = zone
+    })
+
+    board.handleZoneClick('active')
+
+    expect(clickedZone).toBe('active')
+  })
+})
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Test State Synchronization
+
+```typescript
+import { createMockGameState } from '@/test/helpers/gameTestUtils'
+import { StateRenderer } from '@/game/StateRenderer'
+
+describe('StateRenderer', () => {
+  it('updates board when state changes', () => {
+    const initialState = createMockGameState()
+    const renderer = new StateRenderer(scene)
+
+    renderer.render(initialState)
+
+    // Modify state
+    const newState = {
+      ...initialState,
+      turn_number: 2
+    }
+
+    renderer.render(newState)
+
+    // Verify board updated
+    expect(renderer.currentTurn).toBe(2)
+  })
+})
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Test Complex Scenarios
+
+```typescript
+import { createGameScenario, addCardToRegistry } from '@/test/helpers/gameTestUtils'
+
+describe('attack resolution', () => {
+  it('applies damage to defending pokemon', () => {
+    const pikachu = createMockPokemonCard('lightning', {
+      id: 'pikachu',
+      name: 'Pikachu',
+      hp: 60,
+      attacks: [{
+        name: 'Thunder Shock',
+        damage: 20,
+        cost: ['lightning']
+      }]
+    })
+
+    const charmander = createMockPokemonCard('fire', {
+      id: 'charmander',
+      name: 'Charmander',
+      hp: 50
+    })
+
+    const scenario = createGameScenario({
+      player1Active: pikachu,
+      player2Active: charmander,
+      currentPlayer: 'player1'
+    })
+
+    const result = executeAttack(scenario, 'pikachu', 0)
+
+    expect(result.defendingCard.damage).toBe(20)
+  })
+})
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Keep Mocks Minimal
+
+Only mock what you need. If a Phaser class has 50 methods but your code only uses 3, only mock those 3.
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good - minimal mock
+class SimpleMock {
+  x: number = 0
+  y: number = 0
+  setPosition(x: number, y: number) {
+    this.x = x
+    this.y = y
+  }
+}
+
+// ❌ Bad - over-mocking
+class OverMock {
+  // 47 unused methods...
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Test Logic, Not Rendering
+
+Focus on testing game logic and state management, not visual rendering:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good - tests logic
+it('card takes damage correctly', () => {
+  const card = createMockCardInstance({ hp: 60, damage: 0 })
+  applyDamage(card, 20)
+  expect(card.damage).toBe(20)
+})
+
+// ❌ Bad - tests rendering (use Playwright for this)
+it('damage counter displays red when hp is low', () => {
+  // Can't reliably test visual appearance in unit tests
+})
+```
+
+### 3. Use Helpers for Consistency
+
+Always use the provided helpers instead of manually creating objects:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good - uses helper
+const card = createMockCardDefinition({ name: 'Pikachu' })
+
+// ❌ Bad - manual creation
+const card = {
+  id: 'test',
+  name: 'Pikachu',
+  // Oops, forgot 15 other required fields!
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Test Edge Cases
+
+Use the helpers to easily create edge case scenarios:
+
+```typescript
+describe('game over detection', () => {
+  it('detects win when opponent has no prizes', () => {
+    const scenario = createGameScenario({
+      player1Active: createMockPokemonCard('fire'),
+      player2Active: createMockPokemonCard('water')
+    })
+
+    // Set opponent prizes to 0
+    scenario.players.player2.prizes_remaining = 0
+
+    const isGameOver = checkGameOver(scenario)
+    expect(isGameOver).toBe(true)
+  })
+})
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined"
+
+**Cause:** Trying to access a Phaser API that isn't mocked.
+
+**Solution:** Add the missing property/method to the appropriate mock class in `mocks/phaser.ts`.
+
+### Issue: "Expected X to be called but it wasn't"
+
+**Cause:** Mocks don't automatically track method calls.
+
+**Solution:** Use `vi.fn()` for methods you need to assert were called:
+
+```typescript
+const scene = new MockScene('test')
+scene.add.sprite = vi.fn()
+
+myCode.createSprite(scene)
+
+expect(scene.add.sprite).toHaveBeenCalledWith(0, 0, 'texture')
+```
+
+### Issue: "Tests pass but game doesn't work"
+
+**Cause:** Mocks don't perfectly match real Phaser behavior.
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Run manual testing in browser
+2. Add integration tests with real Phaser
+3. Add visual regression tests with Playwright
