lesser-panda-cli v0.6.0

LesserPanda CLI

Commandline tool for LesserPanda engine Can also be used in any ES6/CommonJS project with similar folder structure.

Features:

• CommonJS (including image, shader and font loading support)
• Automatically convert resource files (image or font) that are less than 10kb to data url
• ES6 (using loose mode if requests Babel transpile for better performance)
• Force strict for every single file (if request Babel transpile)

Support Node.js

You need a ES6 capatable Node.js.

Any Node.js version that supports ES6 should work, v7.0.0+ tested.

Usage

Create a new project

lpanda create MyAwesomeGame

Start a dev server

• lpanda server: by default ES6 capatable browser is required, but rebuild pretty fast
• lpanda server -es5: transpile to ES5 on every single change, rebuild is slower but should work in any browsers without issue.

Build production bundle

• lpanda build: compile and bundle to game.min.js (Warning: ES6 scripts won't get transpiled, and uglify doesn't work)
• lpanda build -es5: transpile ES6 to ES5 (recommended since ES6 is not fully supported by some browsers, especially mobile)
• lpanda build -es5 -u: transpile and bundle without minify(uglify)

Use for general(non LesserPanda) projects

The only thing you need is a similar project:

• root
  • src/
    • game/main.js
  • index.html

And don't forget to add a script tag in the index.html file:

<script src="game.js"></script>

TODO

• Project generating command
• Engine upgrade command
