Phase 1 Database Implementation (DB-001 through DB-012):
Models:
- User: OAuth support (Google/Discord), premium subscriptions
- Collection: Card ownership with CardSource enum
- Deck: JSONB cards/energy_cards, validation state
- CampaignProgress: One-to-one with User, medals/NPCs as JSONB
- ActiveGame: In-progress games with GameType enum
- GameHistory: Completed games with EndReason enum, replay data
Infrastructure:
- Alembic migrations with sync psycopg2 (avoids async issues)
- Docker Compose for Postgres (5433) and Redis (6380)
- App config with Pydantic settings
- Redis client helper
Test Infrastructure:
- 68 database tests (47 model + 21 relationship)
- Async factory pattern for test data creation
- Sync TRUNCATE cleanup (solves pytest-asyncio event loop mismatch)
- Uses dev containers instead of testcontainers for reliability
Key technical decisions:
- passive_deletes=True for ON DELETE SET NULL relationships
- NullPool for test sessions (no connection reuse)
- expire_on_commit=False with manual expire() for relationship tests
Design Documentation:
- docs/ACTIVE_EFFECTS_DESIGN.md: Comprehensive design for persistent effect system
- Data model (ActiveEffect, EffectTrigger, EffectScope, StackingMode)
- Core operations (register, remove, query effects)
- Integration points (damage calc, energy counting, retreat, lifecycle)
- Effect categories from Pokemon Pocket card research (~372 cards)
- Example implementations (Serperior, Greninja, Mr. Mime, Victreebel)
- Post-launch TODO for generic modifier system
Module README Files:
- backend/app/core/README.md: Core engine overview and key classes
- backend/app/core/effects/README.md: Effects module index and quick reference
- backend/app/core/models/README.md: Models module with relationship diagram
Minor cleanup:
- Revert Bulbasaur weakness to Fire (was test change for Lightning)
- Clean up debug output in game walkthrough
- Add DamageCalculationResult model for transparent damage breakdown
- Implement _calculate_attack_damage with W/R modifiers (additive/multiplicative)
- Add _execute_attack_effect for future effect system integration
- Add _build_attack_message for detailed damage breakdown in messages
- Update _execute_attack to use new calculation pipeline
- Bulbasaur now properly weak to Lightning in walkthrough demo
New features:
- Weakness applies bonus damage (additive +X or multiplicative xN)
- Resistance reduces damage (minimum 0)
- State changes include weakness/resistance details for UI
- Messages show damage breakdown (e.g. 'base 10 +20 weakness')
Tests: 7 new tests covering additive/multiplicative W/R, type matching,
minimum damage floor, knockout triggers, and state change details
- Add await to engine.execute_action() calls (energy attach and attack)
- Update entry point to use asyncio.run()
- Fix game creation result handling (use game_creation.game)
- Fix AttachEnergyAction parameter name (energy_card_id)
Creates a comprehensive interactive demo that walks through:
- Card definition creation
- Rules configuration
- Deck building
- Game initialization via GameEngine
- Setup phase with Basic Pokemon placement
- Full turn cycle (draw, main, attack, end phases)
Uses colored terminal output and 'press Enter' prompts for
step-by-step exploration of the core game engine.
