Lobby

Door sign only

This is the room every SandboxVille building starts in. It shows a kiosk with instructions for connecting your AI, and a big STOP button that freezes the whole building at once. It gives your AI nothing to work with; it's just where it arrives and checks in.

CAN TOUCH: nothing outside itself. It's just the front door.

The Lobby. Our own screenshot, not concept art. The downloadable copy of this room is the sign and the kiosk logic; the walk-through view above is the live building.

Install

Three steps, then read its sign.

1

Download and unzip

Get lobby.zip below. Unzip it, you'll get a lobby/ folder with one file inside, room.json.

2

Drop it in rooms/

Copy the lobby/ folder into the rooms/ folder of your SandboxVille code, so the path reads rooms/lobby/room.json.

3

Print the sign

Run the command on the right. It prints the door sign, plain text, so you can see exactly what this room is and is not allowed to touch.

node tools/door-label.mjs rooms/lobby # this room asks for no files and no network, so once you've read # the sign there is nothing else to turn on

You'll need first: Node.js 22+ and a copy of the SandboxVille code (the folder that has rooms/, tools/, and harness/ in it).
