This code is laying the groundwork for a mostly functional JS game engine aimed at high performace 60fps games with multiplayer in mind. This specific repo is an excuse to develop the engine while making a rogue-esque game in the vein of the classic Shining the Holy Ark, or the more recent Etrian Odyssey series/Persona Q.
Most of the magic happens in src/client/index.js and src/server/index.js. The structure borrows and implements code from Facebook's Flux framework to achieve uni-directional data flow. The client code and "server" code (server code runs in a worker thread for now) are seperated to keep everything as modular as possible. The simulation loop runs idependently from the rendering loop at a default and configurable 30fps while the rendering runs as fast as your browser will allow (usually 60fps). In the future it should make no difference to the client code if the simulation is running locally or somewhere on the network.
I try to stream development semi-frequently over at http://twitch.tv/ianawill and the latest stable build of the game can be found at http://iwillia.ms. If you have any questions about what I'm doing here feel free to get in touch or make a pull request/open an issue.
