What is this I don't even

As a Game Master, I used a table top map for my players. After several cat attacks, poor viewing angles, bumped tables, spilled sodas, and knocked over figures, I felt a better option would be to use a digital map. I was unable to find one, so I started building my own.

Then I found roll20.net, and tried it. After going back and forth, I decided that it didn't quite meet my needs.

Currently one can create and edit maps and save them using local storage. As long as you don't want to save combatants, you do remote (cloud) storage too.

It uses Persona for the authentication system.

Installation

Clone it. Then:

$ make devrel

Now, start it up:

$ ./rel/rpg_battlemap/bin/rpg_battlemap console

Runs on localhost, port 9090 by default. If you want to run it on something different, edit rel/rpg_battlemap/releases/1/sys.config.

Tests

Currently playing with angularjs and testacular. To get running:

1. install node.js
2. install npm
3. install testacular
4. install phantomjs
