AquaJS

Aqua wants to provide rudimentary code for developing games in JavaScript. It isn't an engine but it provides work to help produce one.

Requires

For building:

- grunt
- uglifyjs

Examples

A Game

var myGame = aqua.game(),
    myGameObject = aqua.gameObject();

// setup rendering, physics, etc services
myGame.addService(someService());
...

// its a good idea to have a component type for storing position, rotation, and other location in world state
var transformComponent = function() {
  aqua.base(this).constructor.call(this);

  this.position = vector(0, 0);
};
transformComponent = aqua.extend(
  aqua.component(),
  {
    // transform methods
  });

myGameObject.add(transformComponent());
myGameObject.add(renderingComponent());
myGameObject.add(...);
myGame.add(myGameObject);

myGame.main();

GameService

This is an example service that replicates the tasks Game objects has by default.

var UpdateService = function() {
  aqua.base(this).constructor.call(this);
};

UpdateService.prototype = aqua.extend(
  aqua.gameService(),
  {
    ongameadd: function(game) {
      this.tasks.push(
        game.task({callback: game.call.bind(game, 'update')}));
      this.tasks.push(
        game.task({
          callback: game.call.bind(game, 'lateUpdate'),
          priority: 'LATE_UPDATE'}));
    }
  }
);
