Game Library Loader

[zachio]

Need to have a couple of functions to load images and sound. Let's do Game.loadSound(path) and Game.loadImage(path).

[zachio]

I added you as a collaborator. Maybe that will help. We will figure this out sooner or later.

[unknwnc]

I think I'm taking a simpler approach... Just give it a list of stuff to load, and a callback for when it's done.
game.assets.load( ["asset", "asset", "asset"], function(){callbackstuff} )
Downloaded assets will be stored in game.assets[assetName]
It would automatically differentiate between graphics and sounds by file extension, and eventually also provide lists of current downloads, their statuses, stuff like that.

[zachio]

Now we are cooking with gas. I made another repo called JavaScriptlater.
It's a website templater that just uses the client instead of the server.
So you can use it on free hosting sites.

I have not looked it it in detail, but it looks like it has a similar function to HTML5 Imports:

I had no idea this existed. Awesome!

It looks like development has slowed a bit recently, hasn't it... Do you have any major plans to continue this project?
My asset manager is still in the works, but I've been sidetracked by life recently. I may still be too busy to be working on this for another week or so.
I believe the last commits I made are uploaded in the branch I made, if you want to look at them.

[zachio]

That's because I'm working on a Golang project, a language created by
Google. I have a handful of code written for it. I'm calling it Golang CMS.
Do you want me to upload it to GitHub so you can take a look at it. Move
been having a blast writing it. Also we can compile it to all operating
systems when we release it.

By the way I have a repo for the Game Library right here https://github.com/zachdyer/game-library

[zachio]

You know what we need is some sprite handlers for the game library so we can even do the autotiling. Also I would like to get stuff like random seed number. You know like on minecraft. And the whole procedural programming thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_generation

[unknwnc]

I think we should keep the main library relatively lightweight. Consider the possibility of adding plugins or addons for larger functions like procedural generation.
I'm also suggest the possibility of using GitHub Pages to host the game library; That way, we wouldn't have to copy it into every project that may eventually use it.

[zachio]

Hey that is a good idea. I see people do that quite a bit. You know what we
could keep the game library core very simple and depending on what you want
to do you could add to it and since the game library is an object we could
just prototype it to add to it. For example Game.prototype.procedural =
{...}. I'm not sure if that is how it is usually done but it seems to be a
natural fit for the language.
