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.
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
Build and client-side package libraries. Necessary for winners.
$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli bower
$ 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!
