ChiffonJS

Open source dress-up game generator for artists (in early development)

About

ChiffonJS is planned to be a web-based application built with React. Users will be able to visit the ChiffonJS webpage and create HTML/CSS/Javascript-based dress-up games using only a directory of images and CSS stylesheets, such as...

assets
|- base/
  |- 1.png
  |- 2.png...
|- face/
|- hair/
|- clothes/
|- background/
|- style.css 

Users will have the opportunity to download a blank assetsdirectory with a basic style sheet and file structure. Users will be able to upload a .zip file containing these assets and generate an HTML page which they can then host. Generated pages will be client-side code only, so users will not have to worry about setting up complex servers. Ideally, users should be able to embed the resulting dress-up game in their own websites using HTML elements such as <iframe>, much like the now-depreciated Adobe Flash dress-up games of the past.

chiffonjs's Issues

Create Asset template

Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, there is no clear specification for how the assets for a Chiffon game should be structured. Create a template .zip file that separates assets into distinct layers so that the assets can be parsed by Chiffon on the back end.

Create game template

Need to build a template for a Chiffon dressup game that is populated based on the assets uploaded by the user. Include default styling in assets template so that user can modify colors, fonts, buttons etc.

Create Download event handler for download button

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The "Download Assets" button does not currently trigger a download.

Describe the solution you'd like
When the user clicks the download button, I'd like them to download a .zip file with the correct file architecture for Chiffon assets.

Create backend server

Currently no server, but one needs to exist so that the input .zip files from users can be parsed to build games, and we need to serve the asset template when requested
