How 033-gagan/sketch_it works
Purpose and entry points
Sketch_IT is a browser-based sketching/game experience, inferred from its game, result, drawing-script, and word-data assets. The server entry point is server.js; browser entry documents include public/index.html, public/game.html, and public/result.html.
Server and delivery boundary
server.js is the backend/runtime boundary and likely serves the browser application and coordinates any game-session behavior. Client-consumable assets are grouped under public/, establishing a static delivery boundary between Node.js server logic and browser code.
Browser page flow
The application is split into distinct HTML stages:
• Landing/start stage: public/index.html
• Active game stage: public/game.html
• Completion/results stage: public/result.html
This page separation suggests navigation-driven control flow rather than a single-page application.
Game client controller
public/script.js is the primary browser-side behavior layer and likely owns interaction handling, game progression, drawing input, timers, scoring, and transitions between the page stages. public/style.css provides the shared presentation layer for those views.
A root-level script.js also exists and may be an alternate, legacy, or server-adjacent client script; integration work should determine whether it duplicates or supersedes public/script.js.
Word/content source
words.js is the repository’s dedicated content/data boundary for words or prompts used by the game. The game controller should consume this source rather than embed prompt data directly in page markup, keeping game content separate from interaction logic.
Runtime and infrastructure
The repository is JavaScript/Node.js-based, with dependency/runtime metadata in package.json and lock resolution in package-lock.json. Browser execution depends on standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript assets served from public/; no database, cloud platform, API, or external service is evidenced by the supplied tree.
Duplicate top-level pages
game.html exists alongside public/game.html, while public/ also contains the canonical-looking page set. This is an important deployment boundary to verify: server.js may serve public/, making root-level HTML files unused or legacy. Any changes to page flow should first establish which copies are active.
