js-engine
Attempt to make something similar to dfw, but with JS.
Structure:
/src/core contains the core files (the framework) /src/app contains the application files. /src/main.js contains the bootstrapping logic.
Example:
If you host the project somewhere and navigate to the index there should be a "start" button. Click it and a knight will appear for your amusement.
Using the file:// protocol is sure to make you run into problems.
Completeness:
The project is roughly organized and there are missing features, but it can be used to run a nice, simple game.
TODO:
- Reorganize files: have assets and src/app under "example". Build command will have to be modified, probably.
- Draw text.
Dependencies.
If you need to build, you'd better have an updated NodeJS version (and not the 0.10 that came preinstalled with my OS :/).
I personally tried it with V6.
Crash course.
Start by src/main.js. Move then to src/app directory for a few examples.
Building.
- If your browser support ES6 style imports and exports:
- Do nothing. Use index.html and be happy.
- Warning, firefox 60 won't load if there are any errors locating the modules (such as invalid path to a .js file)
- Else:
- Solve the package.json dependencies with npm. (npm install).
- Do "npm run build".
- Use index.html

Thanks a lot :).
