# World of Guildhall
WoW Classic–style co-op adventure for Fred's friend group. Stdlib Python server
(`app.py`), content tables (`content.py`), fight engine (`combat.py`), world
rules (`game.py`), vanilla JS client (`static/`). The world is one JSON doc in
SQLite.
## Design rules
- Every ability is auto (rule, AUTO_CD × cooldown) or manual (pressed, real
cooldown). Manual only holds while the player is watching (`WATCH`); never
let an unwatched player's abilities sit unused.
- Dungeons are group-only and are where active play matters: tune bosses so an
all-auto group struggles (`tools/balance.py dungeon`), trash so it doesn't.
- Use Classic's names for places, mobs, quests, NPCs and items.
- In-game text is terse: icons and numbers over prose, details in tips.
- Every requirement/progress ratio is **have / need** (`3 / 10`).
