01 / THE STORY

An idea worth experimenting with.

The original concept came from my son. I had always wanted to build a mini-golf game, so I used the idea as a way to learn how a web-based game could work—and how AI-assisted development could help turn an experiment into a real, tested application.

I built Path Protocol on and off over a month, then opened the project so other people could play with it, inspect it, question it, and take the experiment in directions I have not considered.

02 / CHOOSE YOUR PATH

More than one way to take part.

Start wherever your curiosity leads. Every path helps the project improve.

01

Play

Guide the token through 100 increasingly demanding precision chambers. Find a shorter route, avoid hazards, and improve your score.

Theme Workshop

Design. Test. Share.

The game includes its own authoring workflow. Create a private theme, build levels in the 1600 × 900 logical world, validate each change, and publish when it is ready for other players.

03 / UNDER THE COURSE

A game built as a system.

Clear ownership boundaries keep presentation, simulation, authoring, and persistence understandable enough to experiment with.

UI

React

Navigation, menus, accessibility, settings, HUD, and authoring screens.

SIMULATION

Fixed 60 Hz engine

Deterministic movement, collision, hazards, scoring, and progression.

RENDERING

Three.js

One WebGL arena with perspective camera, GLB models, trails, and effects.

AUTHORING

Express + JSON

Same-origin theme APIs, schema validation, persistent themes, and moderation.

The route is open

Try it. Break it.
Help shape it.
