Changelog

1.3.1 — October 2026

Partridge Rush replaces the Target Rush sample (same folder games/sample-clicker): partridges run through a meadow in three rows, tip over when hit and stay down, the round counts the fallen birds; hares are decoys, a fox trots by and carries off fallen birds unless you shoo it. Runs on the Kirmes framework with three difficulties and a new cover.
Partridge Rush: shotgun barrel that follows the pointer, pellets with muzzle flash and recoil, wider hit tolerance, four rotating landscapes (summer, autumn, winter with snow, evening).
API rate limit removed for logged-in players (configurable), play shell tolerates transient heartbeat errors.
Kirmes framework: games receive hover events for mouse aiming.

Photo Puzzle (games/photo-puzzle): jigsaw port of the Family Photo Puzzle app with live co-op rooms. The host uploads a photo (or picks one from the gallery), chooses 6–120 pieces, rotation and table colour; everyone in the room sees pieces move live, snapping and merging are settled on the server with the original rules (server/PuzzleRules.php).
Admin game editor (/admin/games/{id}/edit, short URL /adm): edit name, tagline, description, category, tags, players, leaderboard, status, highlight flag, sort order and upload a 16:9 cover. Edits are stored as overrides and survive folder syncs.
Highlights section on the home page (three large tiles per row, admin-controlled) and sort order applied everywhere.
Multiplayer filter in the game catalogue and the API (GET /api/v1/games?multiplayer=1).
Deprecation notices no longer abort requests on newer PHP versions.

Dark arcade redesign: Netflix-style billboard hero with the featured game, horizontal game rows (continue playing, popular, play together, per category), 16:9 hover tiles with instant Play, game pages with full-bleed key art, search in the header.

Chess Master: full rules engine and three computer levels in JavaScript, online turn-based matches via a server module (server/routes.php, server/install.sql), invite by username, open games by code or link, draw offers, resignation, leaderboard points.
