Google Santa Tracker for Web

This repository contains the code to Google Santa Tracker, an educational and entertaining tradition for the December holiday period. It is a companion to the Android app.

Changes

In the 2015 version of Santa Tracker, some featured changes include-

• Upgrade to use Polymer 1.0+
• Revamped Santa's Village including mobile-friendly responsive design
• Added several new games, including Present Bounce and Code Boogie, written in ES6
• Streamlined Chromecast support
• Increased use of emojis

Usage

Prerequisites

You'll need npm, bower (use npm install -g bower if it's missing) and Java available on your system.

Setup

Clone project, then from within the repo:

$ npm install

Build and run

Build and run with gulp serve. This will serve from the root directory and recompile JavaScript or CSS on watched changes. The first build might take some time (~10-20m), as it compiles every scene.

You can load scenes (even while locked) via their ID, e.g. at /#codeboogie. Alternatively, unlock houses (in dev) by calling santaApp.unlockAllHouses().

If you'd like to serve another way, then you can build all development dependencies with gulp.

Serve production build

First, build for prod and set a baseurl for static assets:

gulp dist --baseurl="http://localhost:9000/"

Serve prod:

serve -p 3000 dist_prod/

Separately, serve the static resources:

serve -p 9000 --cors dist_static/

Open http://localhost:3000/.

Release

Use gulp dist --pretty to build. This performs additional steps, such as vulcanizing code and internationalization. Serve from ./dist_pretty.
