Example

ModdingClient usage

This is an example on how to run a team-mode modded game:

const StarblastModding = require("starblast-modding");

global.game = new StarblastModding.Client({
  cacheECPKey: true,
  cacheEvents: false,
  cacheOptions: true
});

game.setRegion("Asia");

game.setECPKey("12345-67890");

game.setOptions({
  map_name: "Test"
});

game.aliens.add();
game.start({
  region: "Asia",
  ECPKey: "09876-54321",
  options: {
    //map_size: 20,
    custom_map: "",
    root_mode: "team",
    friendly_colors: 5,
    radar_zoom: 1,
    station_size: 3
  }
}).then(function (link, options) {
  console.log("Promise fulfilled: " + link);
  game.log(link);
}).catch(function (error) {
  console.log("Promise rejected: " + error.message)
});

game.on('error', function(error) {
  console.log("In-game error: " + error.message);
  // Invalid laser rate....
});

game.on('log', function(...args) {
  console.log("In-game log:", ...args);
  // Custom game log goes here
})

game.on('start', function(link, options) {
  console.log("Mod started with link: "+ link);
});

game.on('tick', function (step) {
  if (step % 30 == 0) for (let ship of game.ships) {
    ship.set({invulnerable: 120});
    ship.setCrystals(120).setGenerator(300).setHealing(true)
  }
});

game.on('shipRespawn', function(ship) {
  ship.setX(0).setY(0);
  console.log("Ship respawn: " + ship.name);
  console.log("Event: " + game.timer.step);
});
game.on('shipSpawn', function(ship) {
  ship.setX(0).setY(0);
  console.log("Ship spawn: "+ship.name);
});
game.on('shipDestroy', function(ship, killer) {

});
game.on('shipDisconnect', function(ship) {

});

game.on('alienCreate', function(alien) {
  console.log("Alien created")
});
game.on('alienDestroy', function(alien, killer) {

});

game.on('asteroidCreate', function(asteroid) {

});
game.on('asteroidDestroy', function(asteroid, killer) {

});

game.on('collectibleCreate', function(asteroid) {

});

game.on('collectiblePick', function(asteroid, ship) {

});

game.on('stationDestroy', function(station) {
  console.log("Destroyed:", station)
});

game.on('stationModuleDestroy', function(station_module) {
  console.log("Destroyed:", station_module)
});

game.on('stationModuleRepair', function(station_module) {
  console.log("Repaired:", station_module)
});

game.on('UIComponentClick', function (component_id, ship) {

});

game.on('stop', function() {
  console.log("Mod stopped");
})

BrowserClient usage

Here is an example for running SDC code pulled from Neuronality's site:

const StarblastModding = require("starblast-modding");

let container = new StarblastModding.BrowserClient({
  cacheECPKey: true,
  cacheOptions: true
});

container.setRegion("Asia");

container.setECPKey("12345-6789");

container.loadCodeFromExternal("https://starblast.data.neuronality.com/mods/sdc.js");

container.start();

let game = container.getGame();

let node = container.getNode();
