July 2022 update: beta demo available athttps://beta.delaford.com/

Let me know your interest on theGitHub discussions thread!

Welcome to Delaford. An online, 2D medieval game using JavaScript and HTML5.

First, fork the repository. Then, go into your favorite terminal.

git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/game.gitcd gamenpm installnpm run serve

npm run serve will start the development server and watch for changes on the client-side code inside thesrc folder and otherwise elsewhere applicable.

Now, while still inside thegame folder, open another terminal session in that same location. Type and runnpm run dev:node. This will start the Node.js game server.

If you want to debug, typenpm run ndb.ndb is Google Chrome's Node Debugging tool which allows Node.js programs to be easily debugged and see all its context and variables. Highly recommended for a much easier time.

Now you may visithttp://localhost:8080 to login and start developing!

For a better time, make sure to join theDiscord channel to talk to other developers for help and exclusive dicussions!

Please be aware of apossible scam in regards to Delaford that promises money for testing or similar action.

Please check out ourCONTRIBUTING.md guide on how you can actively participate in the development of this medieval game. It's pretty easy and fun!

Here are the types of things I will be adding as a minimum viable product (alpha). Not too over the top but enough to cover the basics until more is added. Each section links to a project which will contain its sub-tasks within.

When an item is checkmarked, it means the basic foundation is in place but not necessarily complete. For example, Inventory is checkmarked but it currently only supports weapons. You can help fix that.

Learning how to debug in this game is critical in order to interact with the Node.js server and to the client. Your primary source should be thendb tool from Google. It is an improved debugging experience whichdrastically improved client-side debugging.
