CI / quality (push) Failing after 51s
docs: PROJECT-BRIEF.md — game/design/resource orientation for Claude
CLAUDE.md covers tool operation; this covers what the game IS, where it
sits in the roadmap, and where reference assets actually live.

Also fixes a stale NAS path in README (RX-7 reference dir is
001-original-images/001-1993-Mazda-RX-7, not a top-level spaced name).

# Tokyo Wangan Racing
A Roblox game where you cruise a neon Tokyo expressway at night in cool cars —
starting with a real 1993 Mazda RX-7. The driving feel comes first; everything
else layers on top of it. See `docs/ROADMAP.md` for what comes next.
**Status:** Playable. Spawn → drive → switch cars → respawn, plus the full
three-mode Wangan loop. CI green on a self-hosted Gitea runner. Built code-first
— nothing to hand-build in Studio.
## The Daikoku loop (how you play)
Daikoku Futo PA is the hub, exactly like Tokyo Xtreme Racer. You are never
"joining a match" — you park, pick how you want to run, and drive out.
```
IN THE PA ──► pick a mode ──► cross the exit gate ──► RUNNING
▲ │
└──────────────── pull back into the PA ─────────────────┘
```
| Mode | 日本語 | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| **CRUISE** | 流し | Free roam. Bank kilometres, meet other drivers. Rivals can pull alongside and challenge you. |
| **DUEL** | バトル | Hunt rivals. First to open a ~350-stud gap and *hold* it for 3s wins. No laps, no checkpoints — who breaks first. |
| **TIME ATTACK** | タイムアタック | Solo flying lap with 4 sector splits and a saved personal best. Rivals can't interrupt you. |
Cruise and Duel both allow challenges, so a cruise can turn into a battle
organically — pull alongside someone and the prompt appears for both of you.
Time Attack deliberately opts out so a hot lap is never ruined.
Kilometres, lap times and duel records all persist via ProfileStore.

## Prerequisites
Toolchain is managed by [Rokit](https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rokit). With Rokit on
your `PATH`:
```bash
rokit install # rojo, wally, selene, stylua at pinned versions
wally install # restores ProfileStore into ServerPackages/
```
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| rojo | Sync/build code ↔ Roblox place |
| wally | Package manager (ProfileStore) |
| selene | Static analysis / linter |
| stylua | Code formatter |
## Build & run
```bash
rojo build --output build.rbxl # standalone place file to open in Studio
# OR live-sync into an open Studio place (install the Rojo Studio plugin):
rojo serve
```
In Studio press **Play**. You spawn on the expressway in your car. Bottom bar:
**CARS** (switch car) and **RESPAWN** (re-spawn if you flip). The RX-7 only
appears for allowlisted accounts.
## Quality gates (CI enforces these on every push)
```bash
stylua --check src/ # formatting
selene src/ # lint
rojo build --output build.rbxl # must compile
```
CI runs on a self-hosted **Gitea Actions** runner on UNRAID-1 (Ubuntu 24.04 job
container — rojo's binary needs glibc 2.39). Workflow: `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`.
---
## Architecture (server-authoritative)
Clients **request**, the server **decides**. The RX-7 allowlist and anti-cheat
are server-side.
```
ReplicatedStorage/Shared GameConfig, Cars, ProfileTemplate, Remotes
ServerScriptService/Server init.server + managers (below)
ServerScriptService/ServerPackages ProfileStore (Wally)
StarterPlayerScripts/Client init.client (HUD + car picker)
```
| Module | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| `DataManager` | Wraps **ProfileStore** — session locking, reconcile, Studio mock. Remembers your last car. |
| `CarManager` | Spawns the equipped car (VehicleSeat-driven placeholder) and enforces the RX-7 allowlist. |
| `MapBuilder` | Procedurally builds the expressway, spawn pad, neon pylons, kill walls. |
| `AntiCheat` | Movement sanity check (speed/teleport) — a speed bump, not a fortress. |
The RX-7 demo-lock: `GameConfig.RX7AllowedUserIds` holds the owner's + son's
Roblox UserIds; only they can select/drive the RX-7 (enforced in `CarManager` and
the `EquipCar` remote).
## Replacing the placeholder RX-7 with the real mesh
One function changes: `CarManager.buildCarModel`. Full step-by-step in
`docs/MESH_SWAP.md`. Reference photos live on the NAS at
`unraid-1:/mnt/user/data/yy-roblox-games/0-tokyo-wangan-racing/001-original-images/001-1993-Mazda-RX-7/`
(12 files). See `PROJECT-BRIEF.md` for the full reference-asset inventory.
