topdown.js is an engine for making topdown-view games in node.js. It is currently in an unfinished state, and is effectively just a small collection of client-side modules.
See topdown-demos for demo projects.
Install packages:
npm install topdown.js --save
Create game.js:
var topdown = require('topdown');
topdown.server.listen(80);
Then launch:
node game.js
To begin making a game you need to install Grunt & Browserify. This will be added to this readme when the process becomes more stable.
