+# Tutorial: design
+
+See `requirements.md`; requirement ids (R1.1, …) are referenced below. Builds on `web-redesign` (board, pages,
+themes) and `game-bot` (the Easy bot for the practice game).
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Decision | Reason |
+|---|---|
+| Rules, lessons and hints are defined once in `packages/core` | The web and mobile apps show the same rules (R5.1) and the texts stay in one place. |
+| The "after" board of every example and the outcome of every lesson move come from running the engine (`mancala.js`), never written by hand | The texts and pictures cannot drift from what the game does (R1.3). A rule change shows up in the tutorial at once, and a test fails if a lesson no longer works. |
+| Lessons run entirely in the client on the TypeScript engine | No server, no login, no waiting (R2.5). The engine is already in every client. |
+| A lesson's task is an outcome ("end in your store"), not a pit | Players who find another move with the same effect are right too; the check is the engine's game steps, the same ones the move list uses. |
+| The practice game is an ordinary Easy bot game with hints on; hints are a client feature of any bot game | No new server state (R3.1). Hints only show the immediate effect of a move, which the board's preview mostly shows already, so they give little away; still, they are limited to bot games (R3.5). |
+| Hints look one move ahead only | They explain the rules, not strategy. Looking further would need the bot's search on the client or a new server message (out of scope). |
+| Progress, "not now" and the hints setting are kept in the device's storage | Enough for learning the rules (R2.6, R3.4, R4.1); accounts are not needed for any of it. |
+| Mobile gets the rules screen only for now | The mobile app still has the old board and game screen; lessons and hints there would be built twice (R5.2). |
+| The end-of-game lesson teaches the current rule | `TODO.md` (Game rules) asks whether the remaining stones should always go to the player whose side is empty. The tutorial follows the engine; because its boards come from the engine, a rule change only needs the texts updated. |
+
+## The rules as taught (R1.3)
+
+Checked against `packages/mancala.js` (`Board.move`, the four `GR…` rules):
+
+1. **Board and goal**: two rows of 6 pits with 4 stones each, a store on each side. Stones in your store are yours;
+   at the end, more stones in your store wins (48 stones: 25 always wins). A draw is possible.
+2. **Sowing**: take all stones from one of your pits; put the first back into the same pit and one into each pit
+   after it. A single stone moves to the next pit. Your own store gets a stone on the way, the opponent's is
+   skipped.
+3. **Extra turn**: if the last stone lands in your store, you play again.
+4. **Even capture**: if the last stone lands in an opponent's pit and makes its count even, you take all stones in
+   it.
+5. **Empty pit capture**: if the last stone lands in an empty pit of yours and the opponent's pit opposite has
+   stones, you take both.
+6. **End of the game**: the game ends when one side's pits are empty; the player whose side is empty gets the
+   stones left on the other side. Then the stores are counted.
+7. **Clock**: 5 minutes per player for the whole game; the clock of the player to move runs; when it reaches zero,
+   that player loses.
+
+## Shared code (`packages/core/src/tutorial/`)
+
+```ts
+type RuleId = "board" | "sowing" | "extraTurn" | "evenCapture" | "emptyPitCapture" | "endOfGame" | "clock";
+
+interface RuleExample {
+    board: number[];          // 14 stone counts, player 1 (bottom) to move
+    pit: number;              // board index played
+}
+
+type LessonTask = "anyMove" | "extraTurn" | "evenCapture" | "emptyPitCapture" | "endGame";
+
+interface Lesson {
+    board: number[];          // player 1 (bottom) to move
+    task: LessonTask;
+    taskKey: string;          // e.g. "LessonTaskExtraTurn": "Find the pit whose last stone lands in your store"
+}
+
+interface Rule {
+    id: RuleId;
+    titleKey: string;
+    textKeys: string[];       // at most three sentences (R1.2)
+    example?: RuleExample;
+    lesson?: Lesson;          // every rule except the clock (R2.1)
+}
+
+export const RULES: Rule[];
+
+// The immediate effect of playing a pit, by running the engine on a copy of the board.
+interface MoveOutcome {
+    path: number[];               // where the stones went (getSowingPath)
+    extraTurn: boolean;
+    capture?: "even" | "emptyPit";
+    captured: number;             // stones taken from the opponent's side
+    storeGain: number;
+    endsGame: boolean;
+    board: number[];              // after the move
+}
+export function getMoveOutcome(board: number[], pitIndex: number): MoveOutcome;   // the mover follows from the pit
+export function fulfilsTask(task: LessonTask, outcome: MoveOutcome): boolean;
+
+// "Why did that happen" for a wrong lesson move and for the practice game (R2.3, R3.3).
+export function explainMove(outcome: MoveOutcome, mover: "you" | "bot", t): string;
+```
+
+`getMoveOutcome` sets the stones on a `CommonMancalaGame`, plays the pit and reads the game steps, as `describeMove`
+does for the move list. None of the six lessons needs the opponent to move, so lessons have no scripted replies
+(R2.4 has nothing to do yet). `describeMove` gains `capture` kind and `captured`, so the
+move list, hints and explanations share one reading of the steps.
+
+Lesson positions (player 1, bottom, to move; pits 0–5, store 6), checked with the rules above. Task 2 tests that
+each has a move that fulfils its task and, where there is more than one legal move, one that does not:
+
+| Lesson | Board | Task | Moves that fulfil it |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Board and goal | start position | `anyMove` | all |
+| Sowing | `[4,4,1,4,4,4, 1, 4,4,4,4,4,4, 2]` | `anyMove`; the text points at pit 3's single stone, which moves to pit 4 | all |
+| Extra turn | start position | `extraTurn` | pit 4 |
+| Even capture | `[4,4,4,4,4,4, 0, 4,3,4,4,4,4, 1]` | `evenCapture` | pit 6: its last stone makes the opponent's 3 a 4 |
+| Empty pit capture | `[2,0,4,4,4,4, 3, 4,4,4,4,5,4, 2]` | `emptyPitCapture` | pit 1: its last stone lands in the empty pit 2, opposite 5 stones |
+| End of the game | `[0,0,0,0,0,1, 20, 2,3,1,0,2,1, 18]` | `endGame` | pit 6 (the only move): your side is empty and the 9 stones opposite are yours, 30–18 |
+
+Texts: `Rule<Id>Title`, `Rule<Id>Text1..3`, `LessonTask…`, `MoveExplain…`, `HowToPlay`, `Learn`, `Hints`,
+`NewToMangala`, `StartTutorial`, `NotNow`, `PracticeGame`, in `en.ts` and `tr.ts`.
+
+Storage helpers next to the rules: `getCompletedLessons` / `completeLesson`, `isTutorialBannerHidden` /
+`hideTutorialBanner`, `getHintsEnabled` / `setHintsEnabled`, `markGamePlayed`.
+
+## Web app
+
+Routes:
+- `/rules`: `RulesPage` with `RulesView`.
+- `/learn`: the lesson list with progress, then the practice game button.
+- `/learn/:ruleId`: `LessonPage`.
+
+Components:
+- `RulesView`: the rules in order; each with its texts, a `RuleBoard` and "Try it" linking to the lesson (R1.5).
+- `RuleBoard`: two `MiniBoard`s, before and after the example move, the played pit and the landing pit marked.
+- `RulesPanel`: `RulesView` in a side panel (full screen below 600 px) over the game page; opened from a "How to
+  play" button in the game page's header; the game keeps running behind it (R1.4).
+- `AppHeader`: a help icon button "How to play" on every page, going to `/rules` (or opening `RulesPanel` on the game
+  page).
+- `LessonPage`: the rule's text and task above a `BoardView` on a local game (`createGameFromBoard`), animated with
+  `PitAnimator` like a live game. On a move: `getMoveOutcome`, animate, then praise and "Next lesson" or
+  `explainMove` and "Try again", which resets the board.
+- `TutorialBanner` on the home page for newcomers (R4).
+- Hints (R3): in `GamePage`, when the opponent is a bot and hints are on, `BoardView` gets a `hints` map
+  (pit → "Extra turn" / "Takes 5"), drawn as a chip above the pit; pits whose move does neither get no chip. Below
+  the board a line with `explainMove` of the last move. A "Hints" switch next to the turn indicator, only in bot
+  games; hidden while looking back at earlier moves.
+- Practice game: the lesson list's last button sets hints on and goes to `/loby?bot=easy`.
+
+## Mobile app
+
+`RulesScreen`: the rules' texts and a simple stone-count drawing of each example (before/after), reachable from
+`HelpScreen` and from the game screen's header (R5.1).
+
+## Testing
+- Core: every lesson position fulfils its task with some move and (except `anyMove`) fails it with another;
+  `getMoveOutcome` against the engine on random positions; every rule example produces the effect its rule is about
+  (the even capture example really captures, etc.); `explainMove` for each kind of move in both languages; every
+  text key exists in `en` and `tr`.
+- Web: build and the temporary type check.
+- End to end in Chrome: a newcomer sees the banner and "Not now" hides it; all six lessons, each first with a wrong
+  move (explanation, reset) and then a right one; the list shows them done; the rules page and the rules panel during
+  a game (the clock goes on); a practice game shows hints and explanations, and a game between two people shows
+  none.
+- Mobile: type check and bundle; the rules screen on a device when one is available.
+
+Checked end to end in Chrome on 2026-10-16: a newcomer's banner, "Not now" hiding it, and the banner gone after the
+lessons; all six lessons from the banner, the four with a wrong move first (explained, then reset) and each done;
+the list showing all six done and the last lesson offering the practice game; the rules page and, during a game,
+the rules panel with the clock running behind it (5:00 → 4:57); a practice game with hint chips that match the board
+and an explanation of each move, hints turned off with the switch; a game between two people with hints turned on
+on both devices showing no switch and no hints; the rules page and the lesson list at phone width.

+# Tutorial: requirements
+
+Status: implemented on branch `feature/tutorial` (based on `develop`).
+Scope: `packages/core`, web app; the mobile app gets the rules only (see R5).
+
+## Goals
+
+Someone who has never played Mangala can learn it in a few minutes, and anyone can look a rule up later, also in
+the middle of a game. Three parts, from reading to playing:
+
+1. **Rules**: one page with every rule, a short text and a small board for each. Always reachable.
+2. **Lessons**: one short interactive step per rule; the player makes the move the rule is about on a prepared
+   board and sees what happens. Runs in the browser, without the server.
+3. **Practice game**: a real game against the Easy bot with hints: which moves give an extra turn or capture, and
+   after every move a sentence about what happened.
+
+## Terms
+
+- **Store**: the large pit on each side (in the texts "hazine"); stones in it count for the player.
+- **Lesson**: one rule taught on a prepared position with a task, e.g. "End your move in your store".
+- **Hint**: in the practice game, the effect a move would have right away (extra turn, capture, stones to store).
+  Hints never look further ahead than the move itself.
+- **Newcomer**: someone on a device where no game has been played and the tutorial has not been opened or
+  dismissed.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### R1. Rules
+- R1.1 A rules page ("How to play" / "Nasıl oynanır") lists, in order: the board and the goal, sowing, the extra
+  turn, capturing an even pit, capturing from an empty pit, the end of the game and who wins, and the clock.
+- R1.2 Each rule has at most three sentences and a small board that shows it (before and after the move).
+- R1.3 The texts describe exactly what the game does (`packages/mancala.js` and the backend's port), including the
+  details beginners miss: the first stone goes back into the pit it was taken from, a single stone moves to the next
+  pit, the opponent's store is skipped.
+- R1.4 The rules can be reached from the header on every page, and from the game page without leaving the game
+  (a panel over the game; the game and its clock go on).
+- R1.5 Each rule links to its lesson.
+
+### R2. Lessons
+- R2.1 There is a lesson for each rule in R1.1 except the clock: six in all, in the order of R1.1.
+- R2.2 A lesson shows the rule's text, a board with a prepared position and a task. The player plays on the real
+  board (same look, animation and move preview as a game).
+- R2.3 A move that fulfils the task is praised and the next lesson is offered. Any other move is animated, then
+  explained ("This move ended in the opponent's pit, so the turn passed") and the position is set back so they can
+  try again.
+- R2.4 Where a lesson needs the opponent to move, the opponent's move is scripted and shown like the bot's.
+- R2.5 Lessons work without a connection to the server and need no login.
+- R2.6 Completed lessons are remembered on the device and marked in the list. Lessons can be taken in any order
+  and repeated.
+- R2.7 After the last lesson, the player is offered the practice game.
+
+### R3. Practice game
+- R3.1 The practice game is a game against the Easy bot with hints turned on, started from the tutorial. It is
+  otherwise a normal bot game (clock, saving, history).
+- R3.2 While it is the player's turn, every pit whose move gives an extra turn or captures is marked, with what it
+  does ("Extra turn", "Captures 5").
+- R3.3 After every move, of either side, one sentence says what happened, built from the move: e.g. "The bot's
+  last stone landed in its store: it plays again" or "You captured 6 stones from an even pit".
+- R3.4 Hints can be turned on and off in every game against the bot; the choice is remembered on the device.
+- R3.5 Hints are only available in games against the bot. Games between people never show them, also not to
+  spectators.
+
+### R4. Newcomers
+- R4.1 A newcomer sees a banner on the home page: "New to Mangala? Learn it in 3 minutes" with "Start" and
+  "Not now". "Not now" hides it for good on that device.
+- R4.2 The banner does not show once the tutorial has been opened or a game has been played on the device.
+- R4.3 Nothing is forced: a newcomer can start a game without the tutorial.
+
+### R5. Mobile app
+- R5.1 The mobile app shows the same rules (same texts, from `packages/core`) on a rules screen reachable from the
+  help screen and from the game screen's header.
+- R5.2 Lessons and the practice game's hints on mobile are out of scope until the mobile app gets the new design
+  (`TODO.md`, Web redesign).
+
+### R6. Languages
+- R6.1 All texts exist in English and Turkish. Turkish uses the usual Mangala words (kuyu, hazine, taş).
+
+## Out of scope (TODO)
+- Lessons and hints in the mobile app (R5.2).
+- Hints that look ahead (warning about a move that gives the opponent a capture); the bot's search could provide
+  them later.
+- Strategy lessons beyond the rules.
+- Keeping tutorial progress per account instead of per device.
