# Game ⨯ Tech (beta)
[](https://travis-ci.org/miloyip/gamextech)
A web-based knowledge management system for visualizing game related technologies.
This repository can be viewed at [gamextech.org](http://gamextech.org/).
Currently the database is very limited. Please consider [contribution](#contribution).
## Target users
* Game developers
* Researchers
* Students
## Features
* Explore game and related technology, and their relationships
* Chronological view mode
* Share a view with URL
* Search nodes with regular expression
* Serverless for easy contribution and merging
## Dependinces
* [https://d3js.org/](D3)
* HTML/JavaScript/CSS/SVG/JSON
## Schema
The database contains a set of graphs.
The [database](database.json) and graphs are stored in [JSON](https://www.json.org/json-en.html) format.
Each graph JSON is an object, with "nodes" and "links" array.
### Node
Each node is an object with following keys (*required):
| Key | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| id* | string | Unique identifier in title case |
| abbr | string | Abbreviation |
| aka | string or array of string | Alternative names (also known as |
| type | string | "category" (default) or "technique" or "game" |
| year | number | Year of invention or publication |
| synopsis | string | Concise description |
| author | string or array of string | Inventor(s) or author(s) |
| link | string or array of string | links of publication, wikipedia or other related information |
| title | string | Title of the first publication which reveals this |
| conference | string | Abbreviation of conference name, e.g. GDC, SIGGRAPH |
| journal | string | Abbreviation of journal name, e.g. JCGT |
| organization| string or array of string | Company, institute or other organization |
| contributor | string or array of string | github usernames of whom contribute to this node |
### Link
Each link is an object with following keys (*required):
| Key | Type | Description |
| --------- | -------- | ------------------------------- |
| source* | string | Source node id |
| target* | string | Target node id |
| type | string | "include" (default) or "derive" or "use" or "first-use" or "invent" |
## Contribution
Contributions are welcome. Please follow:
1. Fork this repository
2. Add nodes or links in related json files. Add "contributor" key optionally.
3. Testing
4. Make Pull request
If there are too many nodes/links in a single file, you may extract them into a new JSON in a suitable directory,
and add the JSON file into `/database.json`.
If you want to add a lot of data or reorganize existing structure, you may create an GitHub issue for discussion.
Adding new features and fixing bugs are welcome as well.
### Testing
Run `npm install` and `npm test` to validate the database with schema and additional checks.
Run `npm start` to start a local http server, and open one of the listed URL in the browser to view the local site.
```
Starting up http-server, serving .
Available on:
http://192.168.1.1:8080
http://127.0.0.1:8080
```
For testing single(or several) JSON, you may use `?d=` in query string, such as `http://localhost:8000/?d=/tech/graphics/shadow.json&e=-1`.
## History
* 2021/2/1: Initiate this project
* 2021/2/21: Beta launch with 706 nodes and 812 links
