Treasure Map

Purpose

Treasure Map is a hexagonal deduction and exploration game within the Aeon Games ecosystem. Players are given a series of cryptic clues to locate buried treasures hidden across a diverse terrain (grass, forest, mountains, etc.). The game combines spatial reasoning with a limited "dig" budget to challenge both human players and AI agents.

Key Features

• Terrain-Based Deduction: Clues often refer to specific terrain types and relative hex directions (e.g., "3 steps Southeast of the Ruins").
• Deduction Clues: Players receive a set of clues that describe the location of 5 hidden treasures.
• Limited Interaction: A limited number of digs per clue forces players to be precise in their exploration.

Key Files

• src/index.tsx: Main game component, including map generation, clue synthesis, and the digging mechanic.
• package.json: Package metadata and dependencies.
• tsconfig.json: TypeScript configuration.

Usage

The TreasureMap component is integrated into the Aeon Games platform:

import TreasureMap from '@aeon-games/treasure-map';

<TreasureMap 
  gameId="buried-gold-v2"
  seed={54321}
  onComplete={...}
/>

Mechanics

• Clue Structure: "Go 4 steps North from the Sand to find the Gold."
• Terrain Types: Grass, Forest, Mountain, Water, Sand, and Ruins.
• Search: Click on hex cells to "dig" for treasure. Correct digs reveal the treasure and award points.
