Phaser is Desktop and Mobile HTML5 game framework. A fast, free and fun open source framework for Canvas and WebGL powered browser games. Majority of complex games on DTML platform are build in Phaser
Setting up your machine is a fairly straight forward process:
The games are developed in Phaser framework. Phaser 2 or Phaser 3 version of Phaser. The version 3 is the next generation of the Phaser Game Framework. Every last element has been rebuilt from scratch using a fully modular structure, combined with a data-orientated approach. It includes a brand-new custom WebGL renderer designed specifically for the needs of modern 2D games.
DTML Games are open sourced and available on GitHub, so to start simply clone DTML github repository
Prerequisites: You would need node.js and npm (or yarn) to run the games. npm is a package manager for the JavaScript programming language. It is the default package manager for the JavaScript runtime environment Node.js. It consists of a command line client, also called npm, and an online database of public and paid-for private packages, called the npm registry. NPM is distributed with node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/
Once you have clone of the code, navigate to individual game folder and download required packages by using npm:
$ npm install
Each game is independent unit of code, so to run the development server switch to the individual game folder and type:
$ npm run dev
This will run a server so you can run the game in a browser. It will also start a watch process, so you can change the source and the process will recompile and refresh the browser automatically. To run the game, open your browser and enter http://localhost:3000 into the address bar.
When you are ready to deploy your game, you can run a deployment build:
$ npm run deploy
This will optimize and minimize the compiled bundle into src folder.
