(Yet Another) X-Wing Miniatures Squad Builder

=============================================



**NOTE:  This builder is for First Edition ONLY!**  There is a fork for [Second Edition](https://github.com/raithos/xwing).



[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/geordanr/xwing.png)](https://travis-ci.org/geordanr/xwing)



What?

-----

This is a squad builder for Fantasy Flight Games' X-Wing Miniatures

game, completely in HTML and JavaScript.  No backend is necessary.

It can theoretically be dropped into any existing site, but since

it uses a lot of styling from [Twitter

Bootstrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) it may require

some CSS trickery if you're using some other incompatible framework

(e.g. [Foundation](http://foundation.zurb.com)).



Can I save squads or share them on `$SOCIAL_NETWORK`?

-----------------------------------------------------

Saving: yes, if you provide a backend that adheres to the API.  See my [X-Wing Backend](https://github.com/geordanr/xwing-backend) project for an example.  Sharing, no.



Aren't there other squad builders out there already?

----------------------------------------------------

Yes.



So...?

------

I wanted a project to work on and screw around with stuff like HAML and Bootstrap and Select2, etc.



When will this be done?

-----------------------

It's an ongoing process.



Building

========



1. Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) to get `npm`.

2. `sudo npm install -g grunt-cli` to install the global Grunt CLI.

3. `npm install` to install the dependencies listed in `package.json`.

4. `grunt` to build everything into the `app` directory.  The builder is at `app/index.html`.



Testing

=======



    npm test
