How to play ?
From your browser (from any device) : http://91.121.120.180/pong-heroes/www/
With the android app, download this .APK and install it on your phone : http://91.121.120.180/pong-heroes/bin/PongHeroes.apk
Installation
Firstly, you can clone the projet with the command :
git clone https://github.com/Jerek0/pong-pixi-js.git
Server
All the server sources are located in /server/. To run the server, you have to install some dependencies. Make sure you have node and run this command from the server folder.
npm install
When it's done, you'll have to make a copy of config_sample.json into config.json, with your own settings. For example :
{
"url": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 1234
}
Finally, you're ready to launch the server, juste launch this :
node server.js
Your server is now running.
Browser
There is currently some problems with the iOS retina devices
The easiest way to play the game is to use your browser. But you need a quick configuration before that.
Go to /app/www/js/network/ and make a copy of serverConfig_sample.js to serverConfig.js. Adapt the settings in this new file to correspond with your server configuration. For example :
var serverConfig = {
url: "127.0.0.1",
port: 1234
}
Then, make sure you have browserify installed, if not, run this command :
npm install -g browserify
Finally, go to /app/www/js/ and run this command :
browserify app.js -o bundle.js
This will take all the JS source files to compress it in a simple bundle.js file.
You can now go to your browser and enter the URL to /app/www/.
Cordova
There is currently some problems with the iOS platform
Do the Browser part just above before this
If you want to install the game on your phone as an app, here's the way to achieve it. Make sure you have cordova installed, and everything to compile in android or ios. Then, run the command :
cordova platform add android
Replace android by ios if necessary. You're juste a step from the end, launch this command :
cordova run android
And it's done ! The game should launch on you device
