A starter project and build process for JS 13K games compo

JS13K Starter

Introduction

A project starter template and build process for getting up and running with your JS13K game faster.

Includes:

• Game project structure and example modules
• Example game loop with render and update
• Basic canvas animation example
• Gulp web server for running your project in development mode
• Gulp based build process: concatenate, minify, compile and replace into 1 minified HTML file then zip it
• Watch files for changes and run the build
• For each new build and zip, shows the file size of the current zipped project on the CLI

Instructions

Install npm dependencies via npm install

You can either run the tasks individually or just run gulp which will build -> zip -> serve -> watch. After the watch is triggered, any changes will trigger this process to run again.

Description on the project structure and some notes on the gulp build script are available in this post.
