Run a HappyFunTimes game without HappyFunTimes (no networking .. sometimes good for demos)

hft-local

Helps run an HTML based HappyFunTimes game without HappyFunTimes

Why?

HappyFunTimes is a system that supports many players using there smartphones as controllers. It's also a kind of virtual console and provides some common features like launching games, quiting games, and other things. In order to allow HappyFunTimes to update its common features it uses templates that insert the individual games content into an HTML frame at runtime. This has the consequence that you can't run the games outside of HappyFunTimes.

Normally that's fine, most HappyFunTimes games require controllers and are basically not meant to be played outside it's system but once in a while you'd like to be able to point people to a live "demo"

How To Use

Install bower then

cd your-hft-project
bower install hft-local

Then copy bower_components/hft-local/local.html to your local folder

cp bower_components/hft-local/local.html .

Now run a local server and go to local.html.

Note: It's up to you to make your game run without networked players. See LocalNetPlayer and/or look at the examples. Most of them use URL query parameters to decide whether to manually spawn local players.
