gathertown/the-forest

A dynamic, living Gather map (and great mod example)

The Forest (v2)

The code behind The Forest, a dynamic, living Gather map.

Also a great example of a simple mod built with the Gather API!

setup

prereq: have NodeJS and npm installed

run npm install

put your API key in a file named api-key.ts like so:

export const API_KEY = "your-api-key-here";

replace the SPACE_ID and MAP_ID in index.ts with your own

first time: comment in cleanSlate() at the bottom of index.ts to do the initial map setup, but after that just run runForest()

running

npm run start

the-forest's Issues

TheForest example space is not working

Visiting https://app.gather.town/app/e5kK4mRdSOALriFT/TheForest we see the forest and all trees have the "press x to chop" message, but nothing happens. Is there an error in this game example code or an API change?

deployable on-prem?

Hi,

gather.town is great! I was wondering whether it's in a shape to be deployed on our own infra?

runForest() not working anymore
