Gaming Galaxy
A place to play games in the browser, built so we can keep adding games without the platform and the games ever tangling.
The problem. Games sites collapse when the platform and the games depend on each other.
Every new title drags its toolchain into the deploy, one game's bug takes the catalog down with it, and adding the fifth game costs more than adding the first. Players also won't make an account just to try a browser game, yet a leaderboard means nothing without a name on it.
The approach. Every game is its own repo. The site never imports game code.
A typed registry describes each title (tags, controls, frame shape, where it is served from, how it accepts an identity) and the site shows the game in an iframe. Adding a game is one registry entry, plus a build entry when the game ships a bundle. The container build needs no game toolchain, and players get an identity without registering. That is what lets the catalog keep growing now that it is live.
