Mural (Experimental)

Currently under heavy development, a way much better alpha version is coming soon :D

The project is an experiment which implements CanvasRenderingContext2D using amazing Cinder framework and duktape.

It's designed to be something like Ejecta for Desktop. The ONLY reason that I start from scratch instead of using NW.js is its exported file size. Pack a simple game into a browser and send it to friends sounds crazy and not everyone wants to download another Chromium just for playing a tiny game.

The core part is based on Ejecta, with some extra candy from Cinder. The most important goal of this project is to wrap HTML5 games, but the C++ layer is designed to be clean and independent from any JavaScript VMs which means you can also use it as a C++ game engine. Since Cinder has GREAT power, I'll recommend you to try it yourself.

Progress of developing

I always prefer Trello for project management, the tasks list can be found here Mural at Trello

Build and Run

1. Download Cinder latest version (0.9.0) or clone its master branch
2. Create an apps folder inside your cinder folder
3. Clone Mural into the apps folder, so you'll have apps/Mural
4. Now open the project file, and have fun

(You can also put Mural to any path and set the CINDER_PATH config from the project file)

Supported Platforms

Windows and OSX are on the top priority while Linux, iOS and Android supports are planned (as soon as the master branch and Cinder support for Linux/Android are stable enough).
