Project and goals

Bootstrap project for JS/TS based in-browser game prototyping playground, similar to previous ActionScript/Starling pair.

Target best practices of modern web and game development (to the reasonable extent) but favor simplicity.

Sub-goal - evaluate usefulness of current gen coding assistants in this application.

See the documentation dir and milestones plan for further information.

Technology stack

• Typescript and whatever modern module system there is
• Bundler (Vite)
• Tests (Jest)
• Monorepo but separate library & project for modularity
• CI integration

Quick startup

Obtain and setup Node.JS & npm

There is different ways for each platform and respective package manager, probably something along the lines:

• Windows / WinGet winget install node.js
• Windows / Choco: choco install nodejs
• Windows / Scoop: scoop install nodejs
• Windows Standalone installer: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
• MacOS / brew: brew install node
• Linux - You guys probaly already know what to do

Don't forget to refresh environment if required then check that npm can be invoked:

npm -v

Then perform initial npm package installation in the project and run npm start to actually perform a build and launch server

> cd <project-directory>
> npm install
> npm dev
# Local:   http://localhost:8888/

Voila!
