About:

Dave's Maze Game (I'll probably change that title later) is a dungeon crawler game written in MEAN stack JavaScript. It's an exploration of 1st-person 3D in the browser, as well as (eventually!) some simple AI concepts. The technologies involved are as follows:

• AngularJS 1.x for awesome front-end stuffs
• MongoDB for storing all your epic adventures
• Mongoose for saying "hi!" to mongodb
• ExpressJS for servers
• NodeJS for JavaScript on the back-end
• SocketIO for mobile integration (still in development!). This allows you to to use your phone as a controller.
• CSS3 Because CSS can do 3D, and CSS really isn't that bad, so stop whining.
• A Heck of a Lot of NPM/Bower Modules Because if someone else has already done it, why rewrite it?

WARNING: Dave's Maze Game works best in Google Chrome!

Currently Under Development:

• I'm always adding more stuff like loot, monsters, skills, etc.
• More voting system refinements. Right now, skill voting should not work. The votes will go through, but after 7 days, 'winning' votes will not be pushed to the database. This has to do with how the skills are numbered internally, and should be fixed in a subsequent patch.
• A storyline!

How You Can Help:

Writing this app takes a lot of time and love.

• The previous method of including player-submitted content (which was, frankly, pretty ambiguous...) has been replaced/upgraded with a voting system!

  1. Log in.
  2. Go to /votes.
  3. Submit a weapon, armor, or skill to be voted on!
  4. Vote on other peoples' submissions!
  5. Votes are totalled 7 days (1 week) after the item's first submitted. If a submission has more than 2 votes, and has a score of 3/5 (60%) or greater, it's automatically included!

• I'm also pretty bad at the whole art thing. Right now, I'm using other people's glorious art as 'placeholders'. However, if you feel like contributing something, feel free.

  • On the other hand, if some of this art's yours, and you'd rather I not use it, lemme know, and I'll take it down.
