#226 standardize arcade examples on GameApp module layout FIXED

[solidsole]

Findings

I reviewed the six in-scope arcade examples:

snake
flappy_bird
tetris
space_invaders
geometry_dash
pong

The main issues found were:

1. Outdated dependency version

   • All six examples were still using:

   cougr-core = "1.0.0"

   • The issue requires:

   cougr-core = "1.1.0"

2. README standard mismatch

   • snake was referenced as the maintained GameApp demonstration, but its README did not satisfy EXAMPLE_STANDARD.md §4.
   • Missing or incomplete sections included:
     • Purpose and pattern
     • Public contract API
     • Architecture overview
     • Storage model
     • Main gameplay flow
     • Cougr APIs used
     • Build and test commands
     • Known limitations

3. Missing classification banners

   • The remaining examples were not clearly marked as Transitional.
   • They lacked the required banner:

   > **Transitional example**: This example uses an older Cougr pattern and is preserved
   > for compatibility reference. For the current recommended approach, see `snake`.

4. Inconsistent module layout

   • snake, flappy_bird, and geometry_dash already had the desired layout:

   lib.rs
   components.rs
   systems.rs
   

   • tetris, space_invaders, and pong needed standard module layout cleanup.

5. Test coverage gaps

   • Some examples did not explicitly cover:
     • Invalid actions
     • GameApp tick integration

---

Fix features implemented

1. Updated dependency version

   Updated all six examples to:

   cougr-core = "1.1.0"

2. Made snake the Canonical reference

   Rewrote:

   examples/snake/README.md
   

   Added Canonical classification and all required sections from EXAMPLE_STANDARD.md §4.

3. Marked the other examples as Transitional

   Rewrote or updated READMEs for:

   examples/flappy_bird/README.md
   examples/tetris/README.md
   examples/space_invaders/README.md
   examples/geometry_dash/README.md
   examples/pong/README.md
   

   Each now includes the required Transitional banner pointing to snake.

4. Standardized module layout

   Added missing standard files:

   examples/tetris/src/components.rs
   examples/tetris/src/systems.rs
   examples/space_invaders/src/components.rs
   examples/space_invaders/src/systems.rs
   examples/pong/src/components.rs
   examples/pong/src/systems.rs
   

   Refactored older code so:

   • lib.rs focuses on contract entrypoints and wiring.
   • components.rs contains component/domain data structures.
   • systems.rs contains reusable gameplay/system helpers.

5. Added test coverage

   Added or improved tests for:

   • Invalid actions
   • GameApp tick integration

   Examples:

   • Invalid direction / invalid movement / ignored action tests.
   • Scheduler-backed GameApp tick smoke tests.

6. Preserved gameplay behavior

   The work intentionally avoided gameplay rule changes or feature additions, matching the issue’s out-of-scope requirements.

Review — request changes (all CI workflows failing)

The modular split direction is correct (pong with components.rs / systems.rs / test.rs is a good reference), and README rewrites align with the issue intent.

CI blocker — all six examples fail

Every triggered workflow fails at cargo fmt --check:

Example	Failure
snake	Extra closing brace in src/lib.rs (~line 775)
flappy_bird, geometry_dash, pong, space_invaders, tetris	Formatting violations

None of the examples reached cargo test or stellar contract build.

Required fix

Per example:

cd examples/<name>
cargo fmt
cargo fmt --check
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo test
stellar contract build

Scope gaps vs #226

• snake should be classified Canonical with a complete EXAMPLE_STANDARD README; verify all §4 sections are present.
• Transitional examples need the banner from EXAMPLE_STANDARD.md §7.
• Add or extend tests for invalid actions and GameApp tick integration where missing.

Verdict

Re-request review after all six examples pass CI end-to-end.

DONE...

-All transitional templates now explicitly carry the warning banners.

-Every single arcade game matches the canonical layout structure (components.rs, systems.rs, and test.rs).

-The local tests compile and pass with flying colors under the split-module organization.
