Javascript Gauntlet

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

An HTML5 Gauntlet-style Game

 * [play the game](http://codeincomplete.com/projects/gauntlet/index.html)

 * read a [blog article](http://codeincomplete.com/posts/2013/4/30/javascript_gauntlet/)

 * view the [source](https://github.com/jakesgordon/javascript-gauntlet)

>> NOTE: single player only at this time, multiplayer coming later

SUPPORTED BROWSERS

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

 - Chrome 24+

 - Firefox 18+

 - IE 9+

KNOWN ISSUES

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

 - No support for touch/mobile devices

 - Startup (and level transition) can be slow over a slow network connection (duh)

TODO

====

 * POLISH - better scoreboard fonts

 * POLISH - let doors have corners (and choose more wisely between horz/vert when up against odd walls)

 * POLISH - render monsters top down with slight overlap  for pseudo-3d

DEVELOPMENT

===========

The game is 100% client side javascript and css. It should run when served up by any web server.

Any changes to the following files will be reflected immediately on refresh of the browser

  - js/gauntlet.js

  - css/gauntlet.css

  - images/

  - sounds/

  - levels/

However, if you modify the js/game/ or js/vendor/ javascript files, the unified versions need to be regenerated:

    js/vendor.js        # the unified 3rd party vendor scripts (sizzle, animator, audio-fx, stats, state-machine)

    js/game.js          # the unified general purpose game engine

If you have the Ruby language available, Rake tasks can be used to auto generate these unified files:

    rake assets:create   # re-create unified javascript/css asset files on demand

    rake assets:server   # run a simple rack server that automatically regenerates the unified files when the underlying source is modified
