Libraries Used

Express
Handlebars frontend templates
Sass css preprocessor
Papaparse for parsing csv level maps (edit level maps in excel and export to csv).
Page.js for front end routing
Mongoose for Mongo ORM

Configuration

The level maps are found in server/public/levels. The corresponding lemming resources (i.e. number of lemmings, bombers, umbrella, ...) is found in client/js/config.js. Placing meta-data in the csv was difficult to parse so it is separate for now.

TODO:

Allow user to upload user maps and meta data for level.

External Dependencies

The Node server needs a MongoDB to connect to save scores and users. The game will work just fine without the database though.

MonogDB -- start a docker instance with docker run --name lemmings-mongo -p 27017:27017 -d mongo
sass -- must be in your executable path in order to compile the sass to css

run project for development

install all node_modules (we use yarn yarn at project root)
go to server/ run nodemon. Install nodemon with npm install -g nodemon.
open a new terminal, go to project root and run gulp
open your browser to localhost:3001 (if it automatially opens your browser manually refresh the page once to make sure everything is loaded)
