Create a playable game prototype to test one mechanic within a short time limit. Use simple shapes, observe players, and apply explicit criteria to decide whether to develop the idea, abandon it, or adjust it.

Build a playable prototype in about an hour to answer one question — is it fun? — with greybox primitives, a hard timebox, and explicit keep/kill criteria. Use when prototyping a mechanic, making a vertical slice or MVP, greyboxing/blockout, or judging throwaway vs keep.

Get a mechanic into a player's hands fast to learn whether it's worth building. The output of a prototype is a decision (keep / kill / refactor), not a product. Optimize for learning speed, and decide up front whether the code is throwaway or load-bearing.
When not to use: a timed competition with a deadline and a submission (use game-jam);
shipping or updating a real release (use steam-publish / itch-publish); building the
production version of a validated feature (use the engine/genre skill directly).
QUESTION: The one thing this must prove (binary if possible).
CORE VERB: The single action the player repeats.
THROWAWAY?: yes -> hard-code freely, delete after. no -> minimal structure to grow.
TIMEBOX: e.g. 60 min. Stop when it rings, even if unfinished.
KEEP IF: observable signal that means "fun / worth building" (see kill criteria).
KILL IF: observable signal that means "stop".
# Only the CORE VERB is real. Visuals are primitives; systems are stubs.
on update(dt):
read_input()
apply_core_mechanic(dt) # the ONLY thing you're testing — make this feel right
draw_primitive(player) # a box. not a sprite. not animated.
draw_debug_hud(speed, timing) # show the numbers you're judging
# enemies, menus, save, audio, art -> stubbed or absent until the verb proves out
KEEP when, with placeholder art:
- a fresh player does the core verb on purpose within ~30s, unprompted, and
- you (or they) repeat the loop "one more time" without being asked.
KILL when:
- the verb only feels good after you explain it, or
- making it fun needs systems far beyond the prototype's scope, or
- you're adding art/levels to avoid admitting the verb is flat.
REFACTOR when one variable is clearly off (too slow, window too tight) -> retune, retest.
prototypes/<idea-name>/ # separate folder or project, never imported by main game
- hard-coded values, single file ok, magic numbers welcome
- committed on a throwaway branch (or not at all)
Rule: a "keep" decision authorizes a REWRITE in the real project, not a copy-paste of the
spike. Prototype code carries prototype assumptions; shipping it ships the assumptions.

Implement reusable decision systems for game characters using behavior trees, which organize conditional actions, and Utility AI, which scores available choices. Build either approach or combine them to control patrols, combat, targeting, and needs-based behavior.
