This is an open source JavaScript game engine that I’ve been working on. It uses CreateJS. I will be using this for the competition.<\/p>\n

Why go through the trouble of creating a game engine from scratch? Mainly because I want to create something custom for myself as I intend to make more HTML5 games in the future. Plus it’s a great way to practice the knowledge I’ve been obtaining from this amazing book called Game Engine Architecture<\/em> by Jason Gregory of Naughty Dog, and also another book called Learning JavaScript Design Patterns<\/em> by Addy Osmani. Also, it will hopefully save me some time during the competition so I can focus on the game itself.<\/p>\n

It’s missing some key components that I hope to add prior, during, and after the competition. Mainly: collision detection, a game model system, and a rendering system for game objects. I’m sure I’ll discover additional features to add as I go along.<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2013 8:21 pm","title":"Base Code: Seed Engine"}
