(Yet Another) X-Wing Miniatures Squad Builder

Build Status

What?

This is a squad builder for Fantasy Flight Games' X-Wing Miniatures game, completely in HTML and JavaScript. No backend is necessary. It can theoretically be dropped into any existing site, but since it uses a lot of styling from Twitter Bootstrap it may require some CSS trickery if you're using some other incompatible framework (e.g. Foundation).

Can I save squads or share them on $SOCIAL_NETWORK?

Saving: yes, if you provide a backend that adheres to the API. See my X-Wing Backend project for an example. Sharing, no.

Aren't there other squad builders out there already?

Yes.

So...?

MAGIC

What happened to Geordanr?

He 'retired'. I took over.

When will this be done?

Whenever FFG stops releaseing content for the game.

Building

  1. Install Node.js to get npm.
  2. sudo npm install -g grunt-cli to install the global Grunt CLI.
  3. npm install to install the dependencies listed in package.json.
  4. grunt to build everything into the app directory. The builder is at app/index.html.

Exporting Squads

https://yasb2-xws.herokuapp.com allows you to export squads you have created to xws format for use in other places. Take the url of the squad you have built, replace the "https://raithos.github.io/" part of the url with "https://yasb2-xws.herokuapp.com" and it will output your squad to be used for whatever.

Credits

X-Wing Miniatures is by Fantasy Flight Games. Icons and fonts originally from GeckoTH's excellent PSD, available here. X-Wing symbols and ships fonts courtesy Hinny and Josh Derksen and are available as a Bower package. Maneuver dial support by @hpanderson. Fancy printout design inspired by TheKestrel on the FFG forums. Upgrade card text integrated into printouts by wffurr. Squad name in the permalink and obstacles choice modal by zacharyp.

I'm bad at keeping this up to date; see the About section of the builder.
