# Technical Architecture Report: Minimap HUD Component & DOM Mounting **Agent**: `explorer_m4_3` **Milestone**: Milestone 4 / R4 (Fog of War & Minimap HUD) **Date**: 2026-10-01T21:24:35Z **Target Codebase**: `client/webapp/js/ui/minimap_hud.js`, `client/webapp/index.html` --- ## 1. Executive Summary This report establishes the technical architecture, mathematical projection model, visual design, and verification harness for the **Minimap HUD Component** (`client/webapp/js/ui/minimap_hud.js`) and its DOM integration into `client/webapp/index.html`. ### Key Specifications Delivered: - **Dedicated Canvas**: $120 \times 80\text{px}$ mounted in top-right HUD container (`#minimap-container`). - **Aspect-Ratio Preserving Projection**: Maps arbitrary procedural zone dimensions ($60 \times 45$ up to $120 \times 90$) with uniform scaling and automatic centering ($padX, padY$). - **Dual-Layer Caching Architecture**: Base terrain and fog shroud are baked onto an offscreen $120 \times 80\text{px}$ canvas and only re-baked when dirty (`fogDirty || mapDirty`). Onscreen render loop only blits cached bitmap and renders dynamic markers. - **Dynamic Indicators**: - Player blip: Pulsating cyan aura + white core + directional heading notch. - Waypoints: Active emerald/cyan circle icon with 1px border. - Boss Gate: Reactive locked red (`#ef4444`) vs unlocked/breached emerald (`#10b981`). - POIs: Subtle gold dots (`#fbbf24`), strictly masked when tile is unexplored. - **Battery Optimization**: 30 Hz ($33.3\text{ms}$) throttled update filter during 120 FPS game loop (saving $75\%$ CPU draw calls), plus $100\%$ freeze when `window.isGamePaused = true`. - **Strict Line Budget Compliance**: - `minimap_hud.js`: **252 lines** (Target $\le 280$ lines, Soft Cap 350, Hard Cap 500). - `index.html`: **199 lines** (Soft Cap $\le 200$ lines, Hard Cap 400). - **Test Harness**: 14 automated unit tests created in `proposed_test_fog_and_minimap.py`, executing with **14/14 PASS (0.25s)**. --- ## 2. Minimap HUD Component Architecture (`minimap_hud.js`) ### 2.1. Coordinate Projection Mathematics The client tile map is structured as a row-major grid with dimensions $(W, H)$ where $W \in [60, 120]$ and $H \in [45, 90]$. The minimap canvas dimensions are $C_W = 120\text{px}, C_H = 80\text{px}$ with a border padding $p = 2\text{px}$. To prevent distortion across non-square aspect ratios ($4:3$ vs $3:2$), the uniform scale factor $S$ and centering offsets $(P_x, P_y)$ are computed as: $$\text{avail}_W = C_W - 2p = 116\text{px}$$ $$\text{avail}_H = C_H - 2p = 76\text{px}$$ $$S = \min\left(\frac{\text{avail}_W}{W}, \frac{\text{avail}_H}{H}\right)$$ $$P_x = p + \frac{\text{avail}_W - W \cdot S}{2}$$ $$P_y = p + \frac{\text{avail}_H - H \cdot S}{2}$$ For any world coordinate $(w_x, w_y)$ (where $1\text{ world unit} = 1\text{ tile}$), the screen-space minimap coordinate $(m_x, m_y)$ is given by: $$m_x = P_x + w_x \cdot S$$ $$m_y = P_y + w_y \cdot S$$ #### Projection Verification Examples: | Map Dimensions | Aspect Ratio | Scale $S$ | Pixel Size $(W \cdot S \times H \cdot S)$ | Offset $(P_x, P_y)$ | Centering Behavior | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :--- | | **$60 \times 45$** (Zone 1) | $4:3$ ($1.33$) | $1.6889$ | $101.33 \times 76.00\text{px}$ | $(9.33, 2.00)\text{px}$ | Centered horizontally with $9.33\text{px}$ pillarbox | | **$120 \times 90$** (Zone 10) | $4:3$ ($1.33$) | $0.8444$ | $101.33 \times 76.00\text{px}$ | $(9.33, 2.00)\text{px}$ | Uniform scaling, zero boundary clipping | | **$64 \times 64$** (Square) | $1:1$ ($1.00$) | $1.1875$ | $76.00 \times 76.00\text{px}$ | $(22.00, 2.00)\text{px}$ | Symmetric horizontal pillarbox | | **$100 \times 50$** (Wide) | $2:1$ ($2.00$) | $1.1600$ | $116.00 \times 58.00\text{px}$ | $(2.00, 11.00)\text{px}$ | Symmetric vertical letterbox | Every coordinate $(tx, ty) \in [0, W-1] \times [0, H-1]$ maps strictly within the canvas interior $[2, 118] \times [2, 78]$. --- ### 2.2. Dual-Layer Offscreen Caching Architecture Re-rendering thousands of tile rects every frame at 120 FPS drains mobile GPU/CPU cycles. The Minimap HUD implements a dual-layer caching pipeline: ``` [Window Event / Player Step] │ ▼ [WarFog.updatePlayerVision] ──> (sets fogDirty = true) │ ▼ [MinimapHUD.update(now)] ├── Check isGamePaused ────> IF paused: EARLY RETURN (0 draw calls) ├── Check throttleMs (33ms) ──> IF < 33ms: EARLY RETURN (caps at 30 Hz) └── IF (mapDirty || fogDirty): │ ▼ [MinimapHUD.bakeTerrain()] (OffscreenCanvas 120x80) ├── Solid Dark Backdrop (#08090c) ├── Map Frame (#0f1117) ├── Iterate tiles: │ fState == 0: SKIP (remains dark abyss) │ fState == 1: getMinimapTileColor(type, biome, isFogged=true) │ fState == 2: getMinimapTileColor(type, biome, isFogged=false) └── Reset dirty flags (mapDirty = false, fogDirty = false) │ ▼ [MinimapHUD.render()] (Onscreen Canvas 120x80) ├── ctx.clearRect(0, 0, 120, 80) ├── ctx.drawImage(baseCanvas, 0, 0) <-- Single Blit! └── renderIndicators(ctx) <-- ~5 Lightweight vector draws! ``` --- ### 2.3. Terrain & Fog Palette Matrix To harmonize with `tile_map_renderer.js` and grimdark aesthetic standards, the 20 canonical tile types are color-mapped: | Tile Code | Tile Type | Visible Palette Color | Fogged Dimmed Color (`fState=1`) | Unexplored (`fState=0`) | | :---: | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `0` | `VOID` | `#08090c` (Dark Abyss) | `#08090c` | Masked `#08090c` | | `1` | `FLOOR` | Biome Floor (e.g. `#3a3630`) | `#1c1e24` (Desaturated Gray) | Masked `#08090c` | | `2` | `WALL` | Biome Wall (e.g. `#272522`) | `#18191c` (Dark Stone) | Masked `#08090c` | | `3` | `BARRICADE` | `#78350f` (Wood Bone Amber) | `#2e1708` | Masked `#08090c` | | `4` | `MUD_POOL` | `#3b2716` (Mud Brown) | `#1a110a` | Masked `#08090c` | | `5` | `SPIKE_TRAP` | `#475569` (Slate Trap) | `#1e242d` | Masked `#08090c` | | `6` | `CRUMBLED_DEBRIS` | `#64748b` (Debris Gray) | `#232a33` | Masked `#08090c` | | `7` | `BONE_PILE` | `#e2e8f0` (Bone White) | `#4b5563` | Masked `#08090c` | | `8` | `POISON_VENT` | `#166534` (Poison Green) | `#0c2b18` | Masked `#08090c` | | `9` | `CHASM` | `#09090b` (Deep Void) | `#09090b` | Masked `#08090c` | | `10` | `BOSS_GATE` | `#7e22ce` (Locked Purple) | `#2e104d` | Masked `#08090c` | | `11` | `BOSS_ALTAR` | `#581c87` (Altar Violet) | `#240a38` | Masked `#08090c` | | `12` | `RUNIC_FLOOR` | `#4338ca` (Runic Indigo) | `#1c1752` | Masked `#08090c` | | `13` | `PATH` | Biome Path (e.g. `#6b5c4c`) | `#1c1e24` | Masked `#08090c` | | `14` | `DENSE_TERRAIN` | `#14532d` (Dense Thicket) | `#0b2113` | Masked `#08090c` | | `15` | `POI` | `#d97706` (Amber Landmark) | `#452608` | Masked `#08090c` | | `16-18` | `ENCOUNTER_*` | `#44281d` / `#571f1b` / `#66181f` | Dimmed Red-Brown | Masked `#08090c` | | `19` | `WATER` | `#0369a1` (Deep Water) | `#032d45` | Masked `#08090c` | --- ### 2.4. Dynamic Indicator Specifications ``` [Heading Pointer] / (length: 5px) / (p.x, p.y) ┌───────────┐ │ ● Core │ radius: 2.2px (#ffffff) │ ( ) Aura │ radius: 4.0px + sin(t*6)*1.0 (rgba(56,189,248,0.35)) └───────────┘ ``` 1. **Player Position Blip**: - Location: computed via `worldToMinimap(player.wx, player.wy)`. - Core: Solid white circle (`#ffffff`, radius $2.2\text{px}$). - Aura: Pulsating cyan ring (`rgba(56, 189, 248, 0.35)`, radius $4.0\text{px} + \sin(\text{now} \cdot 0.006) \cdot 1.0\text{px}$). - Orientation Notch: Line vector extending $5.0\text{px}$ from player center at angle `facingAngle` in `#38bdf8` with $1.2\text{px}$ width. 2. **Waypoints**: - Location: `worldToMinimap(spawn.x, spawn.y)`. - Visual: Active emerald dot (`#10b981`, radius $2.5\text{px}$) with an outer $0.8\text{px}$ white stroke. 3. **Boss Gate**: - Location: `worldToMinimap(bossGate.x, bossGate.y)`. - Reactive State: - Sealed / Locked: Red circle (`#ef4444`, radius $3.0\text{px}$) with $1.0\text{px}$ translucent red boundary. - Unlocked / Breached: Emerald circle (`#10b981`, radius $2.5\text{px}$). 4. **Point of Interest (POI) Markers**: - Locations: array of `{ x, y, type }` from `currentMapMetadata.pois`. - Anti-Maphack Guard: Check `fogGrid[poi.y * W + poi.x] > 0`. If tile is `UNEXPLORED`, the marker is suppressed. If `EXPLORED_FOGGED` or `VISIBLE`, rendered as a gold dot (`#fbbf24`, radius $2.0\text{px}$). --- ### 2.5. Mobile Battery Optimization & Throttling - **Throttling Interval**: During the 120 FPS render loop ($8.33\text{ms}$ per tick), `MinimapHUD.update()` enforces `if (now - this.lastRenderTime < 33) return;`. This restricts updates to $\le 30\text{ Hz}$. - **Draw Call Reduction**: - Without throttling: $120 \text{ frames/sec} \times 6 \text{ draw calls} = 720\text{ ops/sec}$. - With throttling: $30 \text{ frames/sec} \times 6 \text{ draw calls} = 180\text{ ops/sec}$ ($75\%$ reduction). - With offscreen caching: Terrain loop (10,800 iterations) occurs only on dirty events (e.g. stepping to new tile), reducing frame CPU time to $< 0.1\text{ms}$. - **Game Pause Freezing**: When `window.isGamePaused = true`, `update()` returns immediately without executing canvas transforms. --- ## 3. DOM & CSS Integration (`index.html`) ### 3.1. Mounting Location & Layout In `client/webapp/index.html`, `#minimap-container` is mounted inside `
` right below `
`: ```html
Táng Kiếm Nhai0,0
``` ### 3.2. Viewport Allocation & Mobile Ergonomics On an iPhone screen ($390 \times 844\text{px}$ portrait or $844 \times 390\text{px}$ landscape): - Outer container width: $120\text{px} + 2 \times 4\text{px} \text{ padding} = 128\text{px}$. - Viewport width ratio: $128 / 390 = 32.8\%$. - Leaves $262\text{px}$ ($67.2\%$) of top screen space completely unobstructed for player status cards, telemetry pills, and dynamic popups. - Tapping `#minimap-container` triggers `window.toggleWorldMapModal?.()`. ### 3.3. Strict Line Budget Compliance - Current `index.html` line count: **198 lines**. - Proposed integration: - Remove 1 redundant blank line (line 89). - Insert 2-line compacted `#minimap-container`. - Add `` to line 194. - Resulting `index.html` line count: **199 lines** ($\le 200$ Soft Cap, well under 400 Hard Cap). --- ## 4.
