Get Started

This is an example template. To try it out do the following:

1. Clone this repo
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run dev
4. You should see a URL where your game shows up

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite", // start dev server
    "build": "vite build", // build for production
    "serve": "vite preview" // locally preview production build
  }
}

Btw the live demo gets built by the github action at .github/workflows/main.yml.

Why this tech stack

I looked at quite a few web game frameworks. I settled on this setup because:

• Phaser is the most prominent web game framework, with a lot of examples for pretty much every scenario.
• Typescript lets me auto-complete everything and makes sure I avoid silly typo bugs.
• Vite is much faster and simpler than Rollup and Webpack. I practically didn't have to do anything to get Phaser to work here, there's no complicated config file. The development-build-refresh cycle seems instant. It's fast enough that I never felt the need to measure it. Vite was built by evanw@ the person that built Vue.js.
