Akihabara 2.0 Roadmap

Akihabara 2.0 Roadmap

TODO

• A new way to define counters to have a default counter, so, the developer don't need to care with this counters by default, but is still available to change if necessary.
• A key remapping to avoid confusions to the end user.
• Some boilerplate page to start a game, with some good tags.
• Particle engine with fast performances (example: http://jarrodoverson.com/static/demos/particleSystem/ or something simple like this http://projects.joshy.org/presentations/HTML/CanvasDeepDive/handson2/handson2.html)
• A plug and play mouse/touch support
• A fullscreen feature described by HTML5Rocks: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/casestudies/gopherwoord-studios-resizing-html5-games.html
• A new touchpad integrated to the fullscreen feature
• Make things configurable (example: use of not the yellow loading bar)

DONE

• Split akihabara files. Something like this:

  • akihabara.js
  • akihabara.platformer.js
  • akihabara.topview.js
  • akihabara.shmup.js
  • akihabara.tools.js (We will use this file to put some things from toys and help that are not from a game type specific. We just need to be careful to not create a new help.js)

• A good documentation with a documentation generation based on code comments that works good (not only technically, but using a way that we feel comfortable to add it).

• A deploy tool to minify all files and generate a akihabara.engine.js.min to put on production environment

• Start writing unit tests.
