A retro gaming engine using Javascript Canvas.

Install via npm:

npm install akihabara

I have implemented several new aspects of the framework. I have been building a game using Akihabara, hence this forked version and all the updates.

I have included an AkihabaraMediabox instance of MediaBox from my JSource repository. AkihabaraMediabox extends MediaBox, addings some new methods more specific to the gaming engine.

I have included an AkihabaraGamestate instance of GameState from my Gamed repository.

I have included an AkihabaraGamequest instance of GameQuest from my Gamed repository.

I have included an AkihabaraGamescreen instance of GameScreen from my Gamed repository.

You can load any of the files from the dist directory depending on what type of game you are making. The following dist files exist:

• akihabara.topview.js
• akihabara.topview.min.js
• akihabara.platformer.js
• akihabara.platformer.min.js
• akihabara.shmup.js
• akihabara.shmup.min.js

Right now I am overriding the AkihabaraGamebox._basepath property in the AkihabaraGamebox.onLoad callback to get around now using akihabara as a node module. My ultimate goal is to get rid of all the splash and preload stuff since its not supportive of fully custom game intros. I'm currently using a fully customized game intro with no splash in my project.

AkihabaraGamebox._basepath = "/node_modules/akihabara/images/";

...

The initial akihabara code was made by Fracesco Cottone as an open source project dual licensed by MIT and GPL.
