go to <room> Pathfinding Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Add go to <room> — BFS auto-walk over visited rooms (respecting locked exits + darkness), routed through GoCommand, with a silent console summary and an animated GUI minimap.

Architecture: A new stateless Pathfinder (game package, next to Conditions/Effects/Light) does BFS over visited rooms using the same passability gates GoCommand enforces. GoCommand gains a branch: a directional arg moves one step (unchanged); a non-direction arg resolves a visited room by id/name and auto-walks the path. Per step it pushes a map frame via a new GameIO.travelStep(MapView) hook — a console no-op, overridden by SwingIO to repaint + briefly sleep so the minimap animates.

Tech Stack: Java 25, Maven, JUnit 5 + AssertJ, Lombok.

File Structure

Create:

• src/main/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/game/Pathfinder.java — BFS over visited rooms.

Modify:

• io/GameIO.java — add travelStep(MapView) default no-op.
• io/SwingIO.java — override travelStep (setMap + ~300ms sleep).
• command/impl/GoCommand.java — extract moveDirection; add goToRoom (resolve + path + walk + summary).
• docs/enhancement-ideas.md — mark pathfinding implemented.

---

Task 1: GameIO.travelStep hook + SwingIO animation

Files:

• Modify: src/main/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/GameIO.java

• Modify: src/main/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/SwingIO.java

• Test: src/test/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/TravelStepDefaultTest.java

• Step 1: Write the failing test

src/test/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/TravelStepDefaultTest.java:

package thb.jeanluc.adventure.io;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import thb.jeanluc.adventure.io.text.MapView;

import java.util.List;

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;

class TravelStepDefaultTest {

    @Test
    void defaultTravelStepIsSilentNoOp() {
        TestIO io = new TestIO();
        // An empty map view is fine; the default must not print or throw.
        io.travelStep(new MapView(List.of(), List.of()));
        assertThat(io.outputs()).isEmpty();
    }
}

• Step 2: Run test to verify it fails

Run: mvn -q test -Dtest=TravelStepDefaultTest Expected: FAIL — travelStep is not defined on GameIO.

• Step 3: Add the default to GameIO

In src/main/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/GameIO.java, add the import (if missing it is already there — MapView is used by setMap) and the method:

    /**
     * One frame of an auto-walk (the {@code go to} command), as the player moves
     * through a room en route. Default is a no-op: text mode travels silently.
     * The GUI overrides this to repaint the map and pace the animation.
     *
     * @param view the map snapshot at this step
     */
    default void travelStep(MapView view) {
        // no animation in text mode
    }

• Step 4: Override in SwingIO

In src/main/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/SwingIO.java:

1. Add a constant near the other size constants (e.g. below SMALL_SIZE):

    /** Delay between rooms while animating a go-to auto-walk, in milliseconds. */
    private static final long TRAVEL_STEP_MS = 300L;

2. Add the override (place it near setMap):

    @Override
    public void travelStep(MapView view) {
        setMap(view);
        try {
            Thread.sleep(TRAVEL_STEP_MS);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
        }
    }

(setMap already calls map.show(view) which repaints on the EDT; the sleep on the game-loop worker thread lets each frame render. MapView is already imported in SwingIO.)

• Step 5: Run tests

Run: mvn -q test -Dtest=TravelStepDefaultTest Expected: PASS.

• Step 6: Commit

git add src/main/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/GameIO.java \
        src/main/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/SwingIO.java \
        src/test/java/thb/jeanluc/adventure/io/TravelStepDefaultTest.java

Run: mvn -q clean test Expected: BUILD SUCCESS, all green (existing GameTest/command tests that use go north still pass).

• Step 6: Commit

• Step 1: Mark pathfinding implemented

In docs/enhancement-ideas.md, find the "Festgelegte Erweiterungs-Entscheidungen" area where the blockquote notes Pathfinding is in scope for a later round (added when main-menu/save-load shipped). Update that note to mark it done, in the existing > ✅ style:

✅ umgesetzt (Branch feature/pathfinding-go-to): go to <raum> per BFS über besuchte Räume (Locks + Licht beachtet), via GoCommand (Richtung vs. Raumziel). Konsole still + Zusammenfassung (Start/Mitte/Ziel), GUI-Minikarte animiert pro Schritt (GameIO.travelStep, ~300 ms). Trie-Autocomplete weiter zurückgestellt.

• Step 2: Commit

git add docs/enhancement-ideas.md
git commit -m "docs: mark go to <room> pathfinding implemented"

Final Verification

• mvn -q clean test — all tests pass (184 prior + new Pathfinder/GoCommand/travelStep suites).
• Manual GUI smoke (optional): start a game, walk kitchen→hallway→library manually (so they're visited), return to kitchen, then go to library — the minimap dot should step through the hallway to the library (~300ms each), then the library room renders with a summary line.
• Manual console smoke (optional): same, confirming silent traversal + the "You make your way ..." line + destination look.
• git status clean.
