## Database Schema

### Game Accounts
Link user account to external game platforms (Minecraft, Steam, etc.)

```sql
table game_accounts {
  id uuid primary key
  user_id uuid
  platform text (minecraft, roblox, steam, meta, etc)
  account_id text
  username text
  verified boolean
  metadata jsonb
  access_token text (encrypted)
  connected_at timestamp
}
```

### Game Profiles
Player statistics and platform-specific data

```sql
table game_profiles {
  id uuid primary key
  user_id uuid
  minecraft_uuid text
  steam_level integer
  roblox_level integer
  total_playtime integer
  last_played timestamp
}
```

### Game Sessions
Track multiplayer game sessions

```sql
table game_sessions {
  id uuid primary key
  server_id uuid
  session_code text
  game_mode text
  players text array
  state text (waiting, active, finished)
}
```

### Game Events
Analytics and telemetry

```sql
table game_events {
  id uuid primary key
  user_id uuid
  session_id uuid
  event_type text
  event_data jsonb
  created_at timestamp
}
```

### Game Items
In-game inventory and marketplace

```sql
table game_items {
  id uuid primary key
  project_id uuid
  item_name text
  rarity text
  price integer
  owned_by uuid
  tradeable boolean
  listed_at timestamp
}
```

### Game Wallets
User balance and payment methods

```sql
table game_wallets {
  id uuid primary key
  user_id uuid
  balance integer (in-game currency)
  real_balance text (USD)
  paypal_email text
  stripe_customer_id text
}
```

## OAuth Integration

All platforms support OAuth2 with platform detection:

```typescript
// Start OAuth flow
POST /api/oauth/link/{provider}

// Callback handler
GET /api/oauth/callback/{provider}?code=...&state=...

// Supported providers:
// - discord, roblox, github (existing)
// - minecraft, steam, meta, twitch, youtube (new)
```

## Event Tracking

Automatic event tracking via Segment + Firebase:

```typescript
// Automatically tracked:
- Player joined session
- Player left session
- Achievement unlocked
- Item purchased
- Match completed
- Score submitted
- Friend added
- World created
```

## Monitoring & Debugging

### Enable debug logging:

```typescript
import { GameDevAPIs } from '@/server/game-dev-apis';

// All API calls logged to console
process.env.DEBUG_GAME_APIS = 'true';
```

### Health check endpoints:

```
GET /api/health/game-apis
GET /api/health/game-apis/:service
```

## Best Practices

### 1. Token Management
- Refresh tokens automatically before expiry
- Store encrypted in database
- Never expose in client code

### 2. Rate Limiting
- Implement per-service rate limits
- Cache responses when possible
- Use exponential backoff for retries

### 3. Error Handling
```typescript
try {
  await GameDevAPIs.minecraft.getPlayerProfile(token);
} catch (error) {
  if (error.code === 'UNAUTHORIZED') {
    // Refresh token
  } else if (error.code === 'RATE_LIMIT') {
    // Wait and retry
  }
}
```

### 4. Security
- Validate all inputs
- Use HTTPS only
- Implement CORS properly
- Rotate API keys regularly
- Use environment variables for secrets

## Troubleshooting

### "Invalid provider" error
- Check `oauth-handlers.ts` for provider configuration
- Ensure environment variables are set
- Verify provider OAuth app registration

### "Rate limit exceeded"
- Implement exponential backoff
- Cache responses
- Contact provider for quota increase

### "Token expired"
- Automatic refresh via `refreshToken` field
- Check token expiration time
- Re-authenticate if needed

### "Connection refused"
- Verify API endpoint URLs
- Check network connectivity
- Review provider API status page
