README

          
This is an experimental game/chat I created entirely in HTML5 and JavaScript

using the ImpactJS framework, with Socket.IO and NodeJS for the network

component, and a little bit of jQuery for the chat input.

The game can currently be played at this URL:

http://commins.ca/fs/

To run the server yourself, you must have NodeJS installed. If server.bat does

not work, you can drag server.js onto node.exe instead (does the same thing).

Change-Log:

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

- Grass entities spawn only as needed and self-prune after use. (Completed June 2, 2012)

- Repeating borders update according to player's position in the world. (Completed June 2, 2012)

- Player can travel over water. (Completed June 3, 2012)

- Chat log with auto-scrolling text, multi-colored messages, and clicking names or pressing R to private message. (Completed June 7, 2012)

- As the player walks over sand tiles, foot prints are left behind him. (Completed June 8, 2012)

- Player reflection is shown with animation in certain types of water. (Completed June 11, 2012)

- Player can now ride a bicycle by pressing C. The bicycle leaves tracks in sand tiles. (Completed June 12, 2012)

To-do:

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

Camera:

- Ability to restrict certain areas of map from being displayed on screen.

Effects:

- "Ash" grass entity.

- Fix reflection not animating properly when facing 'right'.

- Add brightness or 'fading' effect to reflections.

- "Shallow-water" feet effect.

- "Deep sand" effect.

- Swim "bobbing" animation as well as initial hop.

- Overhead smoke-effect in LAVARIDGE TOWN.

- Weather effects: rain in ROUTE 119, sandstorm in ROUTE 111, ash in ROUTE 113.

- Smashable rocks, and cuttable trees (low priority).

- Sinking logs in PACIFIDLOG TOWN (low priority).

Movement:

- Disable walking outside of known regions.

- A* pathfinding (low priority).

Bicycle:

- Add 'curvy' tire tracks when turning corners in sand.

- Add 'Mach' bicycle which has variable speed (low priority).

Chat system:

- Prevent multiple chat bubbles from one source from existing at the same time.

- Server sends a failure notice upon non-delivery of a private message.

- Chat bubble repositions itself to be on-screen if it is not (low priority).

- Invalid commands are reported to use as such.

- Remove extra pixel between letters in chat-bubbles.

Maps:

- Tree-tip over water just to the right and up from DEWFORD TOWN.

Code:

- Replace 'magic' numbers in weather-controller.generatePos() function with

  actual references to raindrop and sand-cloud entities.

Known Issues:

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

- Network players can trigger grass to 'rustle' on other players screens by

  running up to one and stopping just before it.

- Network players will appear to teleport slightly when they stop or change

  directions if their framerate and yours differ significantly.

- Chat system does not support accented characters.

- Currently a player can walk through a door, and keep going without being 

  zoned until they let go of the movement key.
