Venture

The Venture storytelling platform. We're in the process of porting code into this repository as a library published on npm.

Stories are created as repositories which have a dependency on the Venture Platform library.

A Story repository defines all the details of the game and initializes Venture with the details.

The Venture Platform is built using React, Redux, Phaser, and a custom game loop engine. React renders the user interface and text, Phaser renders the game world underneath, the game loop engine keeps track of timing and sequencing of game events, and redux stores all of the game's state.
