Portal Platformers

A collaboration game for the Customer Portal team.

Getting started

This game is built with Phaser, an HTML5 game framework. To get a feel for how Phaser works, I recommend going through the Making your first Phaser game tutorial. That should be a good preparation for working on Portal Platformers!

Setup

git clone git@github.com:redhataccess/portal-platformers.git
cd portal-platformers
npm install

Development commands

Start a dev server:

npm start

BrowserSync will automatically reload your browser when files change.

To run a build:

npm run build

Note: builds are not required during development. As long as you use a modern browser during development, it will support enough ES6 that you can skip the build entirely, which speeds up development. Builds are only needed when it's time to deploy to production, since players aren't guaranteed to have modern browsers. A consequence of this is that there's one ES6 feature we can't use, import/export. All new modules are included via old-school script tags. All other ES6 features are fair game.

External libraries

Currently, external libraries like Phaser and Lodash are from a CDN, just for simplicity.

Docker

You can also use docker to run node/deps

npm install
docker-compose up

once the platform is up, the code is exported into the container live.
