While we was discussing some stuff on the discord channel, some members seemed interested to get access to the sources of a project of mine which is basically a simple RTS running inside a browser. I decided to extract the main code and to make it accessible to all: https://github.com/bertrandpsi/He...

It has been a long time since the last time I worked on some sort of games or produced anything for myself. But as I got again some free slots, I thought why not experiment a few things... and experimenting slowly produced something which could be share. Over the last couple of months I wrote down s...

You could have different ways to do it: 1) Have a cron every min which queries who did an action before 10 min ago => restore energy 2) When a page load you run basically the same as in point 1 (but doesn't require a cron, yet it may be run a lot more often, so you may need to have some way to make ...

Download / Install a MySQL or MariaDb Download / Install Node.JS Clone the github Run the start_server.cmd This last command will install all the needed NPMs, start the server and runs your browser to the right URL starting a simple installer which will cre...

I'm more into 3D games myself while I develop more 2D games (more due to the time involved and the techs).

Yes you can just clone. Next update will contain an easier installer which will setup the DB and change the local config file.
