battlecraft

This repository is not longer maintained. I am working on the next version of battlecraft to be released at a later date. I hope to upgrade a number of features about the game (both internal and external) but keep the core gameplay intact.

battlecraft is a simple multiplayer browser-based game built with erlang and elm. It is an implementation of a distributed game engine. The objective of the game is to spawn units to destroy your opponents base.

battlecraft

to begin a game simply create an appropriately sized game from the games page (/games) and share the game url with your friends.

Controls

Spawn units with the standard wasd keys and use the arrow keys to move the view.

Install

Requirements

  • erlang otp 18+
  • rebar3
  • node + npm

Instructions

git clone https://github.com/jbreindel/battlecraft
cd battlecraft
rebar3 release
_build/default/rel/bc/bin/bc start

Developing

battlecraft is built using rebar3, and gulp. I also highly recommend using observer to inspect erlang at runtime. Any rebar3 commands and usage can also be used to debug, and open shells to battlecraft.

Motivations

I wrote battlecraft to understand how to build a complete game and game engine. I wanted to divorce battlecraft from the traditional game loop and model the AI entities in an asynchronous system.

Thank You

Battlecraft would have not been possible without the assets from opengameart.org and the tiled map editor.
