Successfully extracted utility functions, camera control logic, axis/grid rendering, box rendering, and contract/selection management from the massive GridGame.ts file into smaller, focused modules.
Location: src/shared/lib/canvasLogic/utils/gridGameUtils.ts
Extracted Functions:
getWorldXForTimestamp()- Convert timestamp to world X positiongetTimestampForWorldX()- Convert world X to timestampformatTimestampLabel()- Format timestamps for displayisBoxOutsideViewport()- Viewport culling utilitysegmentIntersectsRect()- Line-rectangle intersection (Liang-Barsky algorithm)calculatePriceStep()- Calculate axis marking steps
Benefits:
✅ Pure functions with no side effects
✅ Easy to unit test independently
✅ Reusable across other modules
✅ Zero dependencies on GridGame internals
Location: src/shared/lib/canvasLogic/core/CameraController.ts
Extracted Functionality:
snapToPrice()- Snap camera to current price positionstartAutoSnap()- Start automatic snapping interval (every 2 seconds)stopAutoSnap()- Stop automatic snappingresetToFollowPrice()- Reset camera to follow modedestroy()- Cleanup resources
Benefits:
✅ Encapsulates all camera snapping logic
✅ Single responsibility principle
✅ Easy to modify camera behavior without touching GridGame
✅ Clean API with dependency injection
Location: src/shared/lib/canvasLogic/rendering/GridAxisRenderer.ts
Extracted Functionality:
renderXAxis()- Time axis ticks & labelsrenderYAxis()- Price axis ticks & labelsrenderDashedGrid()- Background grid overlayrenderUnifiedBorderGrid()- Optimised box border rendering
Benefits:
✅ All axis & grid visuals isolated in one place
✅ Simplifies styling tweaks and performance optimisation
✅ No dependency on GridGame internals beyond getters
✅ Fully testable, stateless rendering helper
Location: src/shared/lib/canvasLogic/rendering/BoxRenderer.ts
Extracted Functionality:
renderMultiplierOverlay()- Main box drawing passrenderOtherPlayers()- Other-player avatars & stacks- Hover/selected/pending state visuals & fade logic
Benefits:
✅ Rendering separated from selection state
✅ Reusable drawing logic for future canvases
✅ Simplifies GridGame render loop
✅ Easier to test visual states independently
Location: src/shared/lib/canvasLogic/managers/BoxController.ts
Extracted Functionality:
updateMultipliers()- Backend sync & cleanupmarkContractAsHit/Missed()- Outcome updatesconfirm/cancelselection lifecycle- Animation + cache maintenance
Benefits:
✅ Single source of truth for contract state
✅ Clean separation between data + rendering
✅ Emits selection change events from one place
✅ Prepares groundwork for future analytics/features
Location: src/shared/lib/canvasLogic/rendering/PriceLineRenderer.ts
Extracted Functionality:
render()- Draws price path, NOW line & price ticker- Smooths line end positions with persisted state
- Reuses theme + line renderer while keeping GridGame thin
Benefits:
✅ GridGame orchestrates instead of drawing directly
✅ Keeps smoothing state consistent for other renderers
✅ Easier to tweak price visuals & add tests

✅ No linter errors
✅ All functionality preserved
✅ Camera snaps every 2 seconds (as configured)
✅ Manual drag/pan still works
✅ No breaking changes
If you want to continue reducing GridGame.ts size, here are the high-value extractions:
-
Processed-box bookkeeping (≈120 lines)
- Encapsulate
processedBoxescleanup + animation pruning - Surface lightweight API for BoxController to call
- Encapsulate
-
Camera smoothing profile (≈80 lines)
- Extract follow-price smoothing into reusable helper
- Allow alternate easing curves per game type
Continue trimming toward ~1,400 → ~1,300 lines with lighter cleanups*** End Patch*** End Patch
- ✅ Smaller, focused files
- ✅ Each module has one clear purpose
- ✅ Easier to locate and fix bugs
- ✅ Can test utilities independently
- ✅ Can mock CameraController for game tests
- ✅ Better test isolation
- ✅ Utilities can be used by other games
- ✅ CameraController could be shared across different game types
- ✅ Less code duplication potential
❌ Scrolling through 2600+ lines to find camera logic
❌ Risk of breaking unrelated code when making changes
❌ Difficult to understand what a method depends on
✅ Camera logic in one 147-line file
✅ Utilities are self-contained and obvious
✅ Clear separation of concerns
✅ Import statements show dependencies explicitly
CameraController uses dependency injection for maximum flexibility:
new CameraController(
camera, // Direct reference
() => this.priceData, // Getter function (always fresh)
() => this.totalDataPoints, // Getter function (always fresh)
() => ({ // Config getter (always fresh)
pixelsPerPoint: this.config.pixelsPerPoint,
cameraOffsetRatio: this.config.cameraOffsetRatio,
width: this.width,
visiblePriceRange: this.visiblePriceRange,
})
)This ensures CameraController always has access to the latest values without tight coupling.
All utilities in gridGameUtils.ts are pure functions:
- No side effects
- Same input → same output
- Easy to reason about
- Trivial to test
Status: ✅ Phase 1 Complete
Next Steps: Optional Phase 2 (GridRenderer, HeatmapRenderer, BoxManager)
Recommendation: Test thoroughly before continuing with Phase 2
