Webpack Base for js13kGames

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/BenjaminWFox/js13k-webpack-starter-2020.git

cd js13k-webpack-starter-2020

npm install

npm run develop

http://localhost:8080/

Scripts

• develop: Starts the webpack dev server on http://localhost:8080/
• build: Creates a compact, minified build in /dist
• lint: Runs eslint to check for errors. Better to set this up in your IDE to check automatically on save.

Boilerplate

There are some files & code included as examples of function & syntax that are not meant to be included in the final bundle. You can basically remove everything from the files listed below, but the largest chunks are:

• index.js - the .scss and .png import
• main.scss - the .png background-image
• index.html - the <img> tag
• These 3 images are in assets/images/sprites and can also be deleted

js13k specific files

None of these files are included in your final bundle.

• manifest.json - The metadata file used when submitting your final game
• image_large.png - The large image that shows on the game detail page
• image_thumbnail.png - The thumbnail preview image that shows on the games gallery page
