Grandad's Tile Adventure 🧭

Hey Noah! This is the tiny world Grandad is building. It’s a map made of little tiles. You can move N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW… and also Up/Down between floors.

How it works (super simple):

• The world is just JSON files, one per tile. The file name is the coordinate like 03-03-03.json.

• Moving NE means we add (+1, −1, 0) to (x, y, z) (because on screens, y goes down).

• If the file for the next tile doesn’t exist yet, we’ll create it the first time we step there.

Horizontal/Diagonal: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

Vertical: Up (z+1), Down (z−1)

What a tile JSON looks like:

{
  "coords": [x, y, z],
  "terrain": "stone corridor",
  "exits": ["n", "ne", "e", "s", "down"],
  "objects": ["torch bracket"],
  "visited": true
}
