A 2D arcade-style open world game concept. Open Arcade is a Chrome dev tools extension, which allows your avatar to explore environments that are dynamically generated as you browse the internet.
Install Node on your computer and clone this repository, then run:
npm install
To run Open Arcade locally in your web browser i.e. not as a Chrome dev tools extension (easier if your developing), run:
npm start
Open Arcade should open inside your browser served from localhost on port 3000. When running Open Arcade directly in the browser it depends on a data fixture in order to generate the game environment.
Sometimes you just need to test or debug something whilst Open Arcade is running as a dev tools extension. To get setup do the following:
Run:
npm run deploy
This generates everything Chrome needs to unpack the extension inside of the dist folder.
- In Chrome go to chrome://extensions and toggle Developer Mode to be on.
- Click Load Unpacked and select the dist folder
The extension should now be installed in your browser. Open a new tab and open dev tools. There should be an additional tab named Open Arcade.
