build status

What is Frozen?

Frozen is an open-source HTML5 game engine delivering ease-of-use, rapid development through tooling and modularity.

Our goal is to apply techniques used in building modern webapps to game development, such as ES next, dependency management, build process, and project scaffolding.

Get Frozen

  • Frozen (single file - global frozenjs)
    Development and Production

  • Frozen Source (individual modules)
    Use npm i frozenjs to add it to your project

Examples

Play examples at https://frozen-demos.netlify.com/
Examples source code can be found at https://github.com/iceddev/frozen-examples

Rapid Development Through Tooling

Our Frozen Box2d Editor is available at http://phated.github.com/frozen-editor/

Technologies behind Frozen

While builds of Frozen may be tiny, we use some libraries and technologies behind the scenes as to not reinvent the wheel.

These technologies include:

  • Node.js and npm - used for dependecy mangement for our build process and development workflow
  • Hammer.js - multi-touch library used for mouse/touch/pointer event normalization and gestures
  • Box2d - used for physics calculations in games
  • JSDoc - generates documentation for code

Building the dist/frozen layer

npm run build to lint, test, doc, and run webpack build process to build the single file

Generating the docs

npm run doc will lint and generate docs

Running the tests

npm run test to lint, run tests in PhantomJS and open your default browser at the test URL

Release Notes

v0.5.3

Breaking Changes

  • ES.next re-write

v0.4.0

Breaking Changes

  • Due to performance reasons, InputManager.mousemove only fires during mousedown or touchstart - see breakouts example for workaround
  • Added frozen/TouchAction instead of using frozen/MouseAction - used when InputManager.emulateMouse is false
  • InputManager.handleTouch and InputManager.handleMouse removed, replaced with InputManager.emulateMouse which determines if MouseAction or TouchAction should be used
  • Either InputManager.mouseAction or InputManager.touchAction will be active at one time (depending on state of InputManager.emulateMouse)
  • InputManager event handling methods no longer check if a point is inside canvas
  • InputManager.keyActions switched from array to object (only breaking if you iterate over the collection)
  • Removed Box.destroyJoint because it was deprecated in last release
  • Created a frozen/box2d/listeners/Contact module to contain contact listener callbacks and other logic - move custom contact handlers to this object
  • Remove dojo/dom, dojo/dom-geometry and dojo/dom-style modules from hard dependencies to use straight DOM instead (modules will be missing from built layer)
  • Remove dojo/_base/lang in favor of Lo-Dash (module will be missing from built layer)
  • Removed update function from frozen/reiner/Creature - replaced with updateDirection and updateAnimations functions

New Features

  • Add Bower support
  • Add dependencies on Lo-Dash and Hammer.js
  • Touch/Mouse/Pointer event normalization with Hammer.js
  • Gesture support with Hammer.js
  • InputManager.hammer is an instance of Hammer.js
  • InputManager.on can be used for binding new events
  • InputManager.insideCanvas can be used to check a point against the InputManager's canvas
  • New methods for adding or removing multiple bodies or joints in frozen/BoxGame: addBodies, removeBodies, addJoints, removeJoints
  • New methods for flipping images in frozen/ResourceManager: flipImage, flipImageX, flipImageY
  • Added preSolve to contact listener
  • Added box2d sprite, gesture, ragdoll physics, and breakouts examples

Non-Breaking Changes

  • Update Examples to use features of 0.3.0/0.4.0
  • frozen/utils/removeExtension now uses a regex for removing the extensions, limited to 4 characters after the .
  • require.toUrl(filename) is now used inside the loadSound and loadImage functions, instead of the plugins
  • Fix for WebAudio on iOS
  • On mobile which requires touch, interally switch to Audio.play() instead of Audio.load() to avoid double loading
  • Use dcl's advice.before to wire up GameCore.beforeUpdate

Deprecations

  • GameCore.preUpdate - Deprecated in favor of beforeUpdate
  • InputManager.handleMouse (already removed) - Mouse is always handled, use emulateMouse to specify how to handle it
  • InputManager.handleTouch (already removed) - Touch is always handled, use emulateMouse to specify how to handle it
  • InputManager.mouseUp - Use the lowercase name instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.mouseDown - Use the lowercase name instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.mouseMove - Use the lowercase name instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.touchStart - Use the lowercase name instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.touchEnd - Use the lowercase name instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.touchMove - Use the lowercase name instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.keyPressed - Use keydown instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.keyDown - Use the lowercase name instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.keyReleased - Use keyup instead - same syntax as normal event handling
  • InputManager.getMouseLoc - Deprecated in favor of normalizePoint function (Same functionality, different name)

v0.3.0

Breaking Changes

  • Removed previously deprecated methods and properties
  • Removed Node 0.6 support for the build process
  • frozen/sounds/Sound was a plugin, but is now the base object of other Sounds and frozen/sounds/AudioBase was removed
  • frozen/sounds/Sound plugin was moved to frozen/plugins/sound
  • frozen/box2d/Entity moved to frozen/box2d/entities/Entity
  • frozen/box2d/RectangleEntity moved to frozen/box2d/entities/Rectangle
  • frozen/box2d/CircleEntity moved to frozen/box2d/entities/Circle
  • frozen/box2d/PolygonEntity moved to frozen/box2d/entities/Polygon
  • frozen/box2d/MultiPolygonEntity moved to frozen/box2d/entities/MultiPolygon

New Features

  • Auto-selection of Audio extension if no extension is specified
  • loadSound and loadImage plugins now use require.toUrl() to generate a path to your resources
  • Added .jamignore file
  • Box.setAngularVelocity function added to set the angular velocity on an entity
  • Tests added for Sounds, BoxGame, and Sprite
  • Added frozen/box2d/entities which returns a map of entity types
  • Added frozen/box2d/joints which returns a map of joint types
  • BoxGame.addBody, BoxGame.removeBody, BoxGame.addJoint, BoxGame.removeJoint methods added for convenience

Non-Breaking Changes

  • Made all the examples adhere to the linting rules of the rest of the project
  • Move linting declarations to .jshintrc to allow for JSHint being run in the directory standalone
  • Update Grunt to ~0.4.1 and add/update all the dependencies in package.json
  • Modified the Gruntfile to work with new plugins and define more tasks for convenience
  • Removed Node 0.6 from tested environments
  • Updated examples that were using deprecated methods
  • Cleanup event handler usage on Audio implementations
  • Rearranged the specs/ file structure to match src/
  • Implement the dcl Cleanup API for InputManager to remove event handlers on destruction
  • Add declaredClass to entities and joints

Deprecations

  • Box.destroyJoint has been deprecated in favor of Box.removeJoint
