- view the source
NOTE: single player only at this time, multiplayer coming later
SUPPORTED BROWSERS
- Chrome 24+
- Firefox 18+
- IE 9+
KNOWN ISSUES
- No support for touch/mobile devices
- Startup (and level transition) can be slow over a slow network connection (duh)
TODO
- POLISH - better scoreboard fonts
- POLISH - let doors have corners (and choose more wisely between horz/vert when up against odd walls)
- POLISH - render monsters top down with slight overlap for pseudo-3d
DEVELOPMENT
The game is 100% client side javascript and css. It should run when served up by any web server.
Any changes to the following files will be reflected immediately on refresh of the browser
- js/gauntlet.js
- css/gauntlet.css
- images/
- sounds/
- levels/
However, if you modify the js/game/ or js/vendor/ javascript files, the unified versions need to be regenerated:
js/vendor.js # the unified 3rd party vendor scripts (sizzle, animator, audio-fx, stats, state-machine)
js/game.js # the unified general purpose game engine
If you have the Ruby language available, Rake tasks can be used to auto generate these unified files:
rake assets:create # re-create unified javascript/css asset files on demand
rake assets:server # run a simple rack server that automatically regenerates the unified files when the underlying source is modified
