canvas-playground's Introduction

Canvas Playground

A simple infrastructure for playing with the Canvas API in CoffeeScript.

Installation

You'll need to have npm and node installed to easily build coffee-script and stitch.

git clone https://github.com/massivelyfun/canvas-playground.git

cd canvas-playground

npm install

Use

Extend from entity.coffee and rect.coffee for your game entities and drawing primitives (or, duck type--the APIs are super simple).
Instantiate your entities in main.coffee
Do something interesting with their update() methods (this gets called for every entity, once per tick and is where you should update position, etc.)
Add your entity to the game loop via GameLoop#addEntity
Run the loop!
