Making Games

Check the create-a-game guide for details on how to create your own games using this framework.

Aims

This project has some rough aims:

• Easy fetching of entries from Stack Exchange answers (done!)
• Sandboxed and super-fast game simulation via the power of sandboxed iframes and Web Workers (done!)
• Re-runnable games via a random seed system (done!)
• Out-of-the-box management of entries, and UI for testing/debugging new entries (mostly done!)
• Configurable out-of-the-box match and tournament management (mostly done!)
• Fancy visualisations (see the game as a torus!) (done!)
• Local storage persistence of display preferences & in-progress entries (not done)

Modifying the Framework

This is early stages, and lots of functionality doesn’t exist yet, or is rather quick-and-dirty, so it’s likely that new games will need some changes to the engine itself.

Contributions are welcome! Check the contributing guidelines for details.
