Broughlike Template

This is a simple template for making a rougelike game in the style of Michael Brough.

This template was used to create:

• Escorial
• Mosaic

It uses PixiJS, Typescript and Webpack.

Quick-start guide

Once you have cloned the repository, you need to install all the required node packages:

npm install

Then, you have to pack the sprites into a spritesheet:

npm run pack-sprites

To run the project with a watcher (dev mode) that will automatically refresh and compile whenever you make a change:

npm run start

To produce a build:

npm run build

Other resources

Jeremiah Reid has an excellent tutorial (https://nluqo.github.io/broughlike-tutorial/) focussed on making a Broughlike in JavaScript. It starts from the basics, so that's recommended if you want to develop your engine from scratch.
