Title: Bug: Space game not working
Severity: High
Mode: Sandbox
Lesson ID / File: N/A
Environment: Browser (specify version), OS (specify version)
Date/Time: 2026-05-17

Source Code

(Not applicable — gameplay mechanics bug)

Steps to Reproduce

Load "Space Game" in Sandbox mode.
Start a new game.
Press the buttons indicated by the game in the menu.
Observe the gameplay screen.

Expected Output

When buttons are pressed in the menu, the corresponding gameplay actions should be reflected and displayed on the actual gameplay screen (e.g., character movement, enemy interaction, visual feedback).

Actual Output

Menu buttons clearly toggle on and off within the menu interface as expected.
However, nothing whatsoever appears on the actual gameplay screen — it remains exactly as it was when it first loaded.
The game consumes an exorbitant amount of system resources.

Performance Concern

The game's resource consumption is extremely high. Optimization is urgently needed as not everyone owns a supercomputer. Recommend profiling and optimizing render loops, asset management, and memory usage.

Logs/Attachments

Browser console errors (if any) during gameplay.
System resource monitor screenshot showing CPU/memory usage.
Video recording showing the menu interaction vs. static gameplay screen.

Resource Limits

May be related to memory constraints or render pipeline failure; excessive CPU/memory usage suggests optimization issue.

Suggested Priority

High — Blocks core gameplay functionality; buttons do not drive visual changes on main screen.

Additional Notes

Investigate whether game state is being updated but not rendered, or if state updates are not being triggered at all. Profiling should prioritize render performance and event propagation from menu to game screen.
