FIG. 2 — POCKET PULL PLAN

A clean pull plan: every trade starts after the one it waits on.

  1. SEQ 1 Foundations
  2. SEQ 2 Structural steel
  3. SEQ 3 Dry-in
  4. SEQ 4 MEP rough-in
  5. SEQ 5 Drywall

REVISED 14 SEP 2026. Internal TestFlight builds 1–3 processed. Clouded on the site plan as the newest change in the set.

PROBLEM

I wanted a readable construction-management game built on the tradeoffs a general contractor actually juggles: budget, schedule, safety, quality, owner satisfaction, bonding, buyout, closeout and growth.

BUILD

You bid and buy out jobs, handle RFIs, late steel and failed inspections, bill the owner and close out. Four field mini-games (safety walk, pull plan, punch walk, site logistics) feed the simulation. It’s framework-free JavaScript over a seeded, deterministic simulation (about 15,000 lines across modules, tests and scripts), with Three.js jobsites and a Canvas 2D fallback. Capacitor wraps the offline PWA for iOS, with no ads, analytics or login.

STATUS

Internal TestFlight beta: version 1.0, builds 1–3 processed. Not on the App Store yet. Updated September 14, 2026.

STACK

  • Vanilla JavaScript (ES modules)
  • Three.js
  • Canvas 2D
  • Vite
  • vite-plugin-pwa
  • Capacitor 8 (iOS)
  • Swift
  • Node test scripts

KEYNOTES · BUILD NOTES

  1. A seeded RNG makes every run reproducible, so regression tests and challenge-contract codes share seeds.
  2. Pull Plan scores trade predecessors and delivery gates. Site Logistics scores crane reach and pedestrian routes.
  3. One shared WebGL context, a 30 fps cap and a 1.6 pixel-ratio cap. The PWA precache went from about 7.4 to 1.6 MiB.
  4. Balance tuned with bot players: 80 seeded runs across 4 bid strategies and 2 play policies.
