AD·INFINITVM·ATQVE·PLVS·VLTRA

To infinity and beyond

The game adinfinitvm is an easy and never ending puzzle game. You try to connect ropes to a loop without end by rotating. An alternate game mode is inspired by MacMahon squares and reveals the nature of this game: a two-color edge-matching puzzle without displacing pieces.

Developing

The game is written in CoffeScript without any additional libraries.

To compile the CoffeScript files in src/ to Javascript, first install:

npm install -g watchify
npm install coffeeify minifyify

Then run:

watchify \
  src/main.coffee \
  -t coffeeify --extension=".coffee" \
  -d -p [minifyify --map script.min.js.map --output script.min.js.map] \
  -v -o script.min.js

This will continuously watch the files for changes and recompile.

Testing

To test install:

npm install -g mocha
npm install chai

The test framework is Mocha and Chai is used for assertions. Then run:

mocha -w

The -w means watch for changes and re-test.

Debugger

First install the awesome node-inspector:

npm install -g node-inspector

Put the keyword debugger somewhere in your code. Then run:

node-debug _mocha --compilers coffee:coffee-script/register

Et voila! You stop at a breakpoint where you put your debugger keyword.

Linter

First install:

npm install -g coffeelint

Then run:

find src -type f -iname '*.coffee' | xargs coffeelint

This will show a list of code problems.
