Sandboxed JavaScript Game Server

Sandboxed Javascript Game Server

The game server for the js13kGames Competition.

Deploy

$ git clone git://github.com/js13kGames/js-game-server.git
$ cd js-game-server
$ npm install
$ npm test

Running

$ cd /path/to/js-game-server
$ npm start

Configuring

You can place the configuration in one of this places:

• user local config dir: $HOME/.config/js-game-server/config.json
• system config dir: /etc/js-game-server/config.json
• in the application root: <js-game-server-dir>/config.json

This list is ordered in precedence order.

The config.json is a JSON file with this structure:

{
  "games_directory": /* where the server can find game dirs to load? */,
  "sanctioned_modules": [ /* external allowed modules for sandbox require */ ],
  "log": { /* this section is optional */
    "withColors": /* (boolean) colors on console output */,
    "silentSTDIO": /* (boolean) stop console log */,
    "toFile": /* (string) a file path, or "STDIO" */
  },
  "domain": /* (string) defaults to localhost */
  "lobbyPort": /* (integer) the main httpd, that list games. */,
  "gamePortStart": /* (integer) Game ports are sequential. */
}

Colorful logs are useful for devs, but not for grep in production history.

Playing

If you don't change the defaults, visit http://localhost:3000 and you will see the game lobby, listing the example games. Click on any game and you will get it in another port with it's own http server.
