This is JavaScript game engine (dev tools node.js / client js).

Installation and setup:

Use npm i for next folders:

• /project/client,
• /project/server,
• /test-npm

npm i

You can use this project from this git repo or you can use it from npm services like in test-npm/ folder.

Run Dev Editor node.js

Add your paths in /server/config.js:

Config

module.exports = {
  VERSION : "3.0.0",
  PATH_OF_NODE_APP : "G:\\web_server\\xampp\\htdocs\\visualjs\\project\\server\\",
  PATH_OF_WWW :      "G:\\web_server\\xampp\\htdocs\\visualjs\\project\\client\\",
  EDITOR_PORT : "1013",
  DESTROY_SESSION_AFTER_X_mSECUNDS : 20000,
  SELF_HOST: {
    protocol: 'http',
    port: 80
  }
};

How to start simple host node.js:

npm run host

This is just a webserver for simple hosting in nodejs. No need for this if you use xamp for example.

How to build image resource node.js:

Just put new image in new folder -> (logo/someimage.png). After cmd npm run res engine will get meta data. This is not list for direct loading images. Build meta data for image/images. Now test in console RESOURCE.logo!

npm run res
or
node server/res.js

Note: Use this in develop/local mode only !!!

How to run editor node.js:

npm run editor
or
node server/editor.js

 This is editor to make possible concept of EDITOR-ON-PAGE.

Note: Use this in develop/local mode only !!!

How to pack final bundle node.js:

This will pack all scripts created from editor to the starter/visual.js folder.

npm run pack
or
node server/build.js

Editor use cache/ this folder for cache data -maybe you will need extra permission. In browser navigate to /client/ folder (index.html)

Use visual-js from npm service

Take a look at the test-npm/ folder. (test npm github link)https://github.com/zlatnaspirala/visualjs/tree/master/test-npm

You need to create config.js file with content:

module.exports = {
  VERSION : "3.0.0",
  PATH_OF_NODE_APP : "G:\\web_server\\xampp\\htdocs\\visualjs\\test-npm\\",
  PATH_OF_WWW :      "G:\\web_server\\xampp\\htdocs\\visualjs\\test-npm\\",
  EDITOR_PORT : "1013",
  DESTROY_SESSION_AFTER_X_mSECUNDS : 20000,
  SELF_HOST: {
    protocol: 'http',
    port: 80
  }
};

Replace PATH_OF_NODE_APP and PATH_OF_WWW with your own project folder path. For windows best try with \\ agenst \ like this G:\\web_server\\xampp\\htdocs\\

Main JS script (Client part web):

import { sys, ActivateModifiers, loadEditor, runEditor, loadEditorObjects } from 'visual-js';
ActivateModifiers();

// Run editor
runEditor();
loadEditor();

sys.DOM.CREATE_SURFACE("SURF", "examples", 100, 99.4, "DIAMETRIC");
examples.ENGINE.CREATE_MODUL("STARTER");
var smodul = examples.ENGINE.MODULES.ACCESS_MODULE("STARTER");

// This is preload gameobject , you can't manipulate with
// this game object in editor.
smodul.NEW_OBJECT("IamNewObject", 25, 50, 12, 25, 10);

// Run editor
loadEditorObjects();

I use browserify for building bundle: browserify test.js -p esmify > builds/examples.js

Example for editor:

let tools = require('visual-js-server');

let config = {
  VERSION : "3.0.0",
  PATH_OF_NODE_APP : "G:\\web_server\\xampp\\htdocs\\visualjs\\test-npm\\",
  PATH_OF_WWW :      "G:\\web_server\\xampp\\htdocs\\visualjs\\test-npm\\",
  EDITOR_PORT : "1013",
  DESTROY_SESSION_AFTER_X_mSECUNDS : 20000,
  SELF_HOST: {
    protocol: 'http',
    port: 80
  }
};

tools.editor(config);

Then open new terminal and run:

node editor.js
