Squidlegs: ES6 Game Framework

Quick and dirty game framework that works with Babel and Gulp so you can write ES6 game code today, instead of ∞ days from now.

It consists of –

• 1 squid
• library/ A basic set of ES6 Javascript classes, designed to be pretty modular so you can new whatever you actually need
  • Loop - use requestAnimationFrame to setup your main game loop
  • Canvas, DomCanvas, and VirtualCanvas - wrapper to draw to an onscreen or offscreen canvas (holds context and has helpers like rotate)
  • Mouse - handles the conversion between click events and simple coordinates on a canvas
  • Keyboard and KeyboardMovement - handles wasd / ↑→↓← events, and translation to location deltas and facing degrees
  • Sprite - loads a sprite sheet image, stores it in an offscreen canvas (to allow for rotation), and draws to a canvas
  • Font - loads and displays simple pixel fonts in the format of (one section per line)
    • 0..9
    • A..Z
    • Extras
• gulpfile.js to translate the framework and your code into ES6 via Babel
• game/ - where your actual game code might go, currently home to a sample main.js
• index.html - a test page

It's open source, unstable, and has no tests - it may eat your dog, my dog, or any number of other figurative dogs.

@todo

• Add a cohesive export / import system - currently extending classes depends on ordering the gulpfile – not cool
• Add moar things!
