# Story: {{Story Title}}

**Epic:** {{Epic Name}}  
**Story ID:** {{ID}}  
**Priority:** {{High|Medium|Low}}  
**Points:** {{Story Points}}  
**Status:** Draft

[[LLM: This template creates detailed game development stories that are immediately actionable by game developers. Each story should focus on a single, implementable feature that contributes to the overall game functionality.

Before starting, ensure you have access to:

- Game Design Document (GDD)
- Game Architecture Document
- Any existing stories in this epic

The story should be specific enough that a developer can implement it without requiring additional design decisions.]]

## Description

[[LLM: Provide a clear, concise description of what this story implements. Focus on the specific game feature or system being built. Reference the GDD section that defines this feature.]]

{{clear_description_of_what_needs_to_be_implemented}}

## Acceptance Criteria

[[LLM: Define specific, testable conditions that must be met for the story to be considered complete. Each criterion should be verifiable and directly related to gameplay functionality.]]

    {{method_1}}({{params}}): {{return_type}};
}

// {{class_name}}
class {{ClassName}} extends {{PhaseClass}} {
    private {{property}}: {{type}};

    constructor({{params}}) {
        // Implementation requirements
    }

    public {{method}}({{params}}): {{return_type}} {
        // Method requirements
    }
}
```
