Katamino Polymer

Katamino is a superb puzzle and a challenging game.

Check out the DEMO

How the game works

The game consists of 12 different pieces constructed of right angled blocks so each piece is made of 5 "squares". (Think Tetris pieces, but 5 squares instead of 4.)

The gameboard is constructed with a movable divider so one can take sets of 4 up to the whole set of 12 pieces and form them into a 5 block by X rectangle. (Where X = the number of wood blocks in your set.)

The two or three player strategy game is accomplished on a square board divided into 64 smaller squares. Players take turns to place a piece on the gameboard. The first player who cannot place a piece anymore loses. (Similar to Blokus)

The two player puzzle game mode is accomplished by dividing the board into two sections, each player chooses five blocks and are also given 4 small "filler" blocks of 1 and 2 squares. The first one to fit all their blocks perfectly into their half of the rectangle board, wins.

Setup

Prerequisites

First, install Polymer CLI using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g polymer-cli

Second, install Bower using npm

npm install -g bower

Initialize project from git

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/axax/katamino-polymer.git

Run bower install

bower install

Start the development server

This command serves the app at http://127.0.0.1:8081 and provides basic URL routing for the app:

polymer serve

Build

The polymer build command builds your Polymer application for production, using build configuration options provided by the command line or in your project's polymer.json file.

You can configure your polymer.json file to create multiple builds. This is necessary if you will be serving different builds optimized for different browsers. You can define your own named builds, or use presets. See the documentation on building your project for production for more information.

Katamino Polymer is configured to create three builds using the three supported presets:

"builds": [
  {
    "preset": "es5-bundled"
  },
  {
    "preset": "es6-bundled"
  },
  {
    "preset": "es6-unbundled"
  }
]

Builds will be output to a subdirectory under the build/ directory as follows:

build/
  es5-bundled/
  es6-bundled/
  es6-unbundled/

• es5-bundled is a bundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is compiled to ES5 for compatibility with older browsers.
• es6-bundled is a bundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is served as-is. This build is for browsers that can handle ES6 code - see building your project for production for a list.
• es6-unbundled is an unbundled, minified build with a service worker. ES6 code is served as-is. This build is for browsers that support HTTP/2 push.

Run polymer help build for the full list of available options and optimizations. Also, see the documentation on the polymer.json specification and building your Polymer application for production.

Preview the build

This command serves your app. Replace build-folder-name with the folder name of the build you want to serve.

polymer serve build/build-folder-name/

Run tests

This command will run Web Component Tester against the browsers currently installed on your machine:

polymer test

If running Windows you will need to set the following environment variables:

• LAUNCHPAD_BROWSERS
• LAUNCHPAD_CHROME
