The Broken Court — historical spatial study Play the five-court run · Original Guardian run
Authored plans and synthetic trajectories are diagnostics, not gameplay captures or a layout score. Same mixed enemy composition for ordinary probes; identical Guardian rules for the final room. 200ms delayed observations, imperfect aim and the existing keyboard motor. Empty regions can reflect policy bias. Purple dots show field placement.
