Ashteroids.js

A simple asteroids game using Ash.js, a JavaScript port of Ash Framework

Running

Just open ashteroids.html from your browser. This will run the final (built & minified) version of the game.

If you modify or customize the code, you have to re-build the sources in order to see the effect. Or you can run the game in development version (see the topic below.

Building/compiling

This project uses RequireJS (AMD) & Grunt for the building process. All JavaScript files, including the Ash Framework, will be concatenated into 1 file & minified using UglifyJS.

Dependencies

• Node.js
• Grunt's CLI installed globally using npm install -g grunt-cli
• npm install from the project folder. This will automatically download & install the required modules

Command lines

• grunt will run jshint & build the game files. The results can be found at folder build (both minified & non-minified version)

Running the Development Version

Open ashteroids.dev.html and you will run the non build-and-minified version of the game. Running the development version allows you to debug the source codes easily or see any changes immediately without having to build.

Grunt command lines

These are the list of grunt commands:

• grunt connect to start a local webserver (using port 9000 by default). From your browser, you can go to http://localhost:9000/ashteroids.dev.html.
• grunt jshint to jshint all JS files
• grunt requirejs:compile to build the non-minified version
• grunt requirejs:minified to build the minified version
