FlowJS - A Node.JS Game Engine ✨

Supercharge your Node.JS game development with FlowJS! 🚀 This lightweight and efficient library provides all the essential building blocks for crafting awesome 2D games. It's packed with features to handle rendering, input, sprites, and more!

Features!

• Asset Management: Effortlessly load and manage textures, sounds, and other game assets.
• Sprite Rendering: Render sprites with smooth animations, transformations, and even custom shaders for that extra sparkle! ✨
• Input Handling: Let FlowJS handle keyboard and mouse input, so you can focus on the fun stuff. 🎮
• Collision Detection: Add physics and interactions between objects with collision detection. 💥
• Sprites: Extend the Sprite class to create unique sprites with their own behaviors and abilities. 💫

Installation (It's a snap!)

Just simply run:

npm install flowgame

Usage

1. Import FlowJS into your project:

import flow from 'flowgame';

2. Create an Game instance:

class MyGame extends flow.Game {
  async onCreate() {
    //...creation code here...
  }
  
}

3. Load your assets:

await engine.loadAsset('./assets/player.png', 'player');

4. Create your sprites:

class Player extends flow.Sprite {
  onCreate() {
    this.loadTexture("player");
  }
  onKeyPress(key) {
    if (key[0] == "right") this.changeVelocity(1, 0);
    if (key[0] == "left") this.changeVelocity(-1, 0);
    if (key[0] == "up") this.changeVelocity(0, -1);
    if (key[0] == "down") this.changeVelocity(0, 1);
  }
}

5. Load your sprites

async onCreate() {
    //...other creation code here...
    this.addSprite(Player)
  }

6. And start your game!

new flow.Engine({game:MyGame, window:{width:1280, height:720,title:"Game"}});
