Mh-game-kit NPM

###Mangahigh HTML5 game starter kit

####Quick start npm init In package.json dependencies add mh-game-kit npm install mh-game-init

What this does:

Updates package.json with dev dependencies, scripts
Sets up webpack deps
Creates folder structure
Sets up basic scaffold:
- Game wrapper for integration into Mangahigh launcher
- Scaling management
- Core game states (boot, preload, play)
- Asset management (assetManifest, preload, atlas creation)
- Game data and API management
- Common UI elements
- Translation management
- Testing framework
- Mock server for data testing
- Build pipeline (webpack)

####To build:

You will need node and npm installed globally
Or run in node container - at MH towers run ./bin/dockerise.sh
Dev build (no minification): npm run build
Prod build : npm run full-build

####To serve:

Run static server from dist: e.g. python -m SimpleHTTPServer, http-server
Game options can be edited in index.html (see below)

####Translations

We use i18next to handle translations
Strings should be wrapped in i18nUtils.t()
Numbers should be wrapped in i18nUtils.formatNumber()
Can be scraped from the source code with npm run translate-get. This will create a set of json files in ./src/translations/pending.
Once these have the correct translations included, copy them to the main translations folder with npm run translate-import.

####Index.html gameVars These are passed to the game from the index page

baseUrl: URL for the Mangahigh API
resourceUrl:
locale: determines the local i18next will use
activityId: determines which challenge to start. Null should default to freeplay
gameId: the MH id for the game. Lite and full versions have different game ids.
userId: ths id for the user playing the game

####Mangahigh API

bin/devServer contains a mock server that will return stubs and debugging information
spin up with npm run dev-server
make sure game is using baseUrl https://localhost/8090

####Before deploy: All games are served from Mangahigh's 'Play' server. Source files are housed on that server and in that repo. Prior to deploying to Mangahigh's live or test server, game source code must be copied to the play server.

./bin/copy-to-play.sh - copies to correct directories on Mangahigh's Play server
