Description

Observe two distinct pets traverse the room using an A* path-finding algorithm. Add walls to the room to make it more challenging for pets to find food - or even impossible if you're evil...

• Add walls by right clicking on edges
• Remove walls by left clicking on edges
• Click on graves to remove them and spawn an egg

Learning Outcomes

• Tilemaps are a good option for dynamically building worlds
• State design pattern is extremely useful in organizing game states

Build Requirements

Node.js is required to install dependencies and run scripts via npm.

Available Commands

Command	Description
npm install	Install project dependencies
npm run watch	Build project and open web server running project, watching for changes
npm run dev	Builds project and open web server, but do not watch for changes
npm run build	Builds code bundle with production settings (minification, no source maps, etc..)

Writing Code

After cloning the repo, run npm install from your project directory. Then, you can start the local development server by running npm run watch.

After starting the development server with npm run watch, you can edit any files in the src folder and Rollup will automatically recompile and reload your server (available at http://localhost:10001 by default).

Configuring Rollup

• Edit the file rollup.config.dev.js to edit the development build.
• Edit the file rollup.config.dist.js to edit the distribution build.

You will find lots of comments inside the rollup config files to help you do this.

Note that due to the build process involved, it can take around 20 seconds to build the initial bundle. Times will vary based on CPU and local drive speeds. The development config does not minify the code in order to save build time, but it does generate source maps. If you do not require these, disable them in the config to speed it up further.
