games

tl;dr: I built this because I wanted a real place to ship small games instead of leaving them as one-off repos nobody would ever find.

The site itself is deliberately simple: games are data, not pages. Add an entry to one typed array — slug, tagline, status, platforms, tags — and the homepage feature slot, the games grid, the per-game detail page, and the sitemap all fall out of that single list. The first entry is CA Idle, an incremental game grown from cellular automaton rules rather than hand-tuned progression curves.

        +--> homepage feature slot (if featured)
        +--> /games/ grid
        +--> /games/<slug>/ detail page
        +--> sitemap

Until a game has real screenshots, its card and hero fall back to a deterministic pattern generated from its own slug instead of stock placeholder art — which felt more honest for something that’s still mostly a prototype. “BYAH Games” is a placeholder studio identity for now; there’s no separate brand yet, just a config file waiting for one to be worth building.
