Game Workshop 2019

Welcome to the Game Workshop (2019) for the Idaho Falls Programmers user group.

Intention

• Provide working knowledge of at least one game development technique in preparation for our October Game Jam.
• Avoid requiring an installed game development system (Unity, Unreal, etc).
• Target a cross OS platform for easy distribution/showcasing (modern web browsers).

Repo Structure

• Each branch is a snapshot at a feature delivery of this example game.
• Start with master and then move to each snapshot in order: master → 0001/asset-manager → 0002/entity-type
  • Note: at the live version we are going to program all this together without checking out these branches.

Requirements

• A laptop if you are joining us at the live version of this workshop. We probably won't have room for a full PC setup.
• Updated web browser. This has been tested with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers.
• A code editor (or text editor) that you are comfortable with. Visual Studio Code works well enough and is free and cross platform.
• A local web server program (avoids possible problems with asset delivery to the browser)

Possible Local Servers

Server	Command
Caddy Web Server	caddy
Python Built-in	python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
PHP Built-in	php -S localhost:8080

Post Event

If you can't make it that night, or want to come back to this later, we will be following this post step by step.
