Wizards of the Future: Code Your Own Adventure
Come uncover the secrets of the magical craft of programming. You will explore a text adventure game written in the Ruby programming language. While you play through the story, you will empower your actions with simple program commands. As you begin, you will soon find that the story leads to a dead-end; at which point, you will have to leap into the source code and code your way to your own ending. Or a new beginning! No prior programming experience is necessary.
Install Node.js
This app uses the Brunch build tool. Install it globally via npm:
npm install -g brunch
Then install the other dependencies with
npm install
To run the Websockets server that executes the game:
node server.js
To run the frontend:
brunch w -s
Navigate to localhost:3333 to see the running app.
While brunch w -s is running, changes to the frontend of the application
will happen live (browser will reload for HTML and JS pages, CSS will reapply
for CSS changes). Changes to server.js require a restart. Simply Ctrl+C the
node server.js process and run it again.
