MUDnode something something

This is a game. It's kind of like a MUD. It has something about forks or branches or cloning or pushing or pulling. Still figuring out that part.

Getting Started

• Clone the repo
• git submodule update --init --recursive
• npm install
• Horse Dance! (haaaaaaaaaaaaay sexxxay lady!)

Development

This project is set up to use grunt for a couple of tasks, primarily linting code and building it out.

Active Development

Running grunt will lint all of the JS files. We're using jshint for linting, along with a series of options that can be seen in our gruntfile (grunt.js).

Development of modules take place in src/app, which is built (mostly) off of Dojo Boilerplate.

The workflow is like so:

• Start the server with node server in the root of the repo
• Write awesome code
• Reload http://localhost:4000 (or whatever the configured port is) to see awesome code in action

Dependencies

MUDnode requires the following packages:

• Node (we recommend installing via Homebrew if using OSX)
• npm (typically installed with Node)
• Grunt (install via npm install grunt -g)
• JSHint (install via npm install jshint -g)

Building / Distribution

You can run grunt build to kick off the Dojo build process (you can also run ./bin/build.sh but using grunt means we can reconfigure build later without having to change this step).

With node, it takes a good 20-30 seconds to build and it puts out a built version of the src dir into the dist dir, along with some modifications to our root index.html for production purposes.

To see the built code in action, you run the server with a different NODE_ENV in play, like so: NODE_ENV=production node server.
