slush-phaser-plus
HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL! A Slush generator for Phaser web game projects, packed with lots of good features.
Batteries included
Every project created with this generator includes the following tool-set:
-
Gulp task manager, to handle development and distribution tasks, with alternative npm scripts provided.
-
BrowserSync development server for cross-device testing.
-
Browserify support for easier management of components and dependency tracking.
-
Babel to compile scripts written in ECMAScript 2015 (and future specs) into scripts compatible with today's browsers. Check which language features are currently supported.
-
EditorConfig support, for consistent editor configuration between collaborators — check if EditorConfig support is available for your code editor.
-
ESLint for code quality check.
-
Customizable scripts for automated Audio Sprites generation (Requires FFMpeg).
The generated sample project is based on my phaser-plus-template and,
using this generator, you always get a working project similar to that. In
fact, that project began before slush-phaser-plus, and it is regularly
updated with improvements and bug fixes. If you have questions regarding the
sample project or want to contribute with suggestions or bug fixes, feel free
to ask there.
Installation Instructions
Firstly, you need a development environment compatible with Node.js properly
installed and configured in your system to use with this generator. After that,
use npm to install slush-phaser-plus (and slush, if you didn't already),
issuing the following commands on a terminal emulator:
npm install --global slush # To install `slush`. npm install --global slush-phaser-plus # To install this generator. Also, it's a good idea to have these installed too, as you may find them useful later:
npm install --global gulp # A task manager and streaming build system. Usage
Start by creating a new directory to host your new project contents and go
inside it, then run slush-phaser-plus, issuing the following commands, like
in the example below:
mkdir my-project # Note: Replace 'my-project' with whatever you like. cd my-projectslush phaser-plusA brief questionnaire, asking you some details about your soon-to-be new game
project, should appear. Answer every question to proceed with the project
creation. slush-phaser-plus will take care of installing all project
dependencies for you automatically.
Available sub-generators
slush-phaser-plus comes with some preset sub-generators to aid you in some
common game development tasks with Phaser. To use any of these, just run
slush-phaser-plus as you would, appending the name of your desired
sub-generator.
$ slush phaser-plus:<sub-generator>The following sub-generators are available, performing the tasks as described:
state: GeneratesPhaser.Stateclasses.object: Helps creating game objects from a set of base classes.plugin: A boilerplate for your own Phaser plug-ins.

Did you know?
Slush is a tool that uses Gulp for project scaffolding.
Slush does not contain anything "out of the box", except the ability to locate
installed slush generators and to run them with liftoff.
