Create New Game v7 - nodeGame/nodegame GitHub Wiki
- status: complete
- version: 7.x
- follows from: Getting Started
Inside your nodegame installation folder type:
cd bin
node nodegame create-game gamename
and answer the questions on screen to choose between the two standard game templates are available:
- Single-Player (Guessing Game),
- Multi-Player (Dictator Game).
As a result, a new game folder named gamename will be created under the nodeGame installation directory in the games_available/
folder with a link inside the games/
folder. The new directory will contain all the necessary files that you can then modify to suit your needs.
Note: The difference between games/folder and games_available/ folder is the following:
- Only the games in the
games/
folder are loaded by the server. When you have many games, but only some should be active (that is: playable), you may keep the games you don't want to be active ingames_available
. This terminology derives from how the Apache server handles multiple web sites. If it sounds confusing to you, you may think of games as "games_enabled".
After you have created your first game, some of the information provided (e.g., name and email used in copyright statement) is stored locally.
