Ludum Dare 30

What it is

Ludum Dare is an accelerated video game development competition. Participants have one weekend to build a game from scratch, and then submit them for review where they will be judged on many different criteria including gameplay mechanics, story and graphics.

How to build it

You will need

NodeJS >= 0.10.x

Node Version Manager is highly recommended for switching between versions.

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.13.1/install.sh | bash
$ nvm install 0.10
$ nvm use 0.10ode -v
v0.10.29

Grunt and Bower

Build and client-side package libraries. Necessary for winners.

$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli bower

Then...

$ git clone https://github.com/ninjascribble/LudumDare30.git
$ cd LudumDare30
$ npm install
...
$ grunt

It might take a while to install all the npm and bower dependencies (PhaserJS is pretty huge).

Running grunt will build the project, immediately launch it in your browser and start a livereload service that will watch for changes. Pretty sweet!
