How to install

Clone this repository.

Go to the web folder, and run amber serve.

Development workflow

The package Creakout is shared between the Pharo and the Amber version. Any change to it should be done in Pharo, then imported in Amber by:

1. Fileing out the Creakout package
2. Running amberc Creakout.st
3. Moving Creakout.js in web/src

On Pharo, Creakout-Morphic represents the integration of the game in Morphic.

On Amber, CreakoutWeb represents the integration of the game in Amber.

Creakout-Compat is responsible for abstracting differences between Pharo and Amber. You can find in this package classes that acts as adapters, or classes / standard class methods that are implemented in Pharo and not in Amber.

Known issues

• Random freezes on Pharo 5 (apparently solved in Pharo 6)
• The keys aren't properly mapped on Mac OS
