Prototype for a chess-like, multiplayer, browser-based game.

Scrunch Game Prototype

Description

A chess-like, browser-based, multiplayer game. Each player has a different pattern of places they can move to. Jump around to collect points, grow taller, and scrunch other players.

Building Client

Before doing anything, execute npm i within this directory. That will install the NPM dependencies. If you want to build the client just once, then execute npm run build. If you want Webpack to watch for changes, then execute npm run watch. If you want to obfuscate the client for publishing, execute npm run build-prod.

Building and Running Server

Make sure you have Rust nightly installed. If it's not installed, execute rustup install nightly. One that is completed, execute npm start and visit localhost:8000.

How to Play

• Press Enter to join.
• Click on the green squares to move your player there.
• Collect yellow orbs to grow taller.
• Every time you move, a "gap" (represented by blue squares) is spawned behind you. Don't jump on the gaps – they'll kill you.
• Jump on other players to scrunch them. This makes them spawn yellow orbs that you can collect.
