case 'start_game': { const gameId = uuidv4(); const initialGameState = createNewGame(); games.set(gameId, initialGameState); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ gameId, gameState: initialGameState }) }] }; } - server.js:237-244 (registration)Registration of the 'start_game' tool in the ListTools response, including its name, description, and empty input schema.
{ name: "start_game", description: "Start a new lemonade stand game", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {} } }, - server.js:46-59 (helper)Helper function createNewGame() that initializes the game state with starting money, empty inventory, initial price, weather, and status.
const createNewGame = () => ({ day: 1, money: 20.00, inventory: { cups: 0, lemons: 0, sugar: 0, ice: 0 }, purchaseHistory: [], // Keep track of purchases for proper cost calculation pricePerCup: 0.25, weather: generateWeather(), status: 'buying' }); - server.js:38-43 (helper)Helper function generateWeather() used by createNewGame to set initial weather conditions.
const generateWeather = () => { const temp = Math.floor(Math.random() * 40) + 50; // 50-90°F const conditions = ['Sunny', 'Partly Cloudy', 'Cloudy', 'Rainy']; const condition = conditions[Math.floor(Math.random() * conditions.length)]; return { temp, condition }; };
