Original build

Sneak

A turn-based stealth minigame inspired by a tabletop stealth board: blocks cut sight lines, guards patrol, and a decoy can pull them off your path. Tune the grid, enemies, blocks and difficulty.

The tabletop version is a few printed blocks on a grid, a guard piece and a sneaking piece. It works because line of sight is the whole game: you can be one tile from a guard and safe, as long as something solid sits between you.

This version keeps that and adds the knobs: grid size, how many guards, how cluttered the board is, how far guards see, and decoys you can throw to lure them away.

On the rebuild

Built from scratch for the Lab after a YouTube Short showing a 3D-printed stealth board (youtube.com/shorts/3-f7bBsrMXQ). Game logic is pure, seeded TypeScript with tests.
