Phaser 3 RPG Game ⚔️

This is a simple RPG game built mostly from scratch using Phaser 3. Not sure what it's going to be like yet, but I'm sure it will be fun!

The Todo 📋

• In-game cutscenes
• How to manage game animation creation and management
• Dialogue storage location
• ⬇️ Animated tiles

Known Issues 🐞

• Movement controls go 💥 if you pause the game (and prob is you unfocus browser)
• NPCs with movementCommands won't
  • play interact animations
  • change their movement commands
• Dialogue stopping movement breaks on scene tranisition

The Done ✅

• Set up Phaser 3 + TypeScript
• Add webpack
• Static maps from tiled
• Get a character working
  • movement
  • animations
  • idles
• Lock character movements to 16x16 grid
  • took a lot longer than I expected...
  • mirrors Annoraaq's grid engine
• Add babel 🤷 seems like not needed for our purposes
• Dialogue system
  • get something working
  • make box spawn at the right position even when you have moved away
    • layer multiple scenes: TOOK ME FOREVER... didn't know how default draw order was determined. didn't know it was even a thing
  • dialogue spawning interaction
  • many dialogue boxes can be spawned at once !?!?!?!? 🤯🤯🤯
• Should all this logic be in the TestScene?
  • after creating the TestScene, it is clear that it should not be. Refactor time!
    • Many refactors to be made 😰
• Did some TODOs
• Interactables still hardcoded in ObjectManager
• NPCs
  • generated by code
  • walk around randomly
    • w collisions
    • w animations
  • talk to them
  • make NPCs not all the same
• Many things to consider.
  • lots of TODOs
  • reconsider approach to composition
    • ❌ Couldn't get TS mixins to enforce the proper constructor for chained mixins
  • organize an order of initialization and dependency bind timings
  • typing interactionCommands & movementCommands
• Party
  • narty members follow you
  • not collidable to you or eachother, but are to everything else
  • Party class to abstract party logic from game input manager
• Scene transitions
  • saving scene state
  • load scene diffs based on save file
• 🦗 Activating Dialogue
  • twice doesn't work
    • space keyup wasn't registering when inputs were disabled
  • thrice works but breaks your controls
    • the end dialogue callback was never updated to the proper one past the first
• Different interactions
  • enter dialogue
    • stops your movement
  • cause animation
  • transition scene
  • move self
  • trigger other objects to do something
    • e.g.
      • move the player
      • make other play animation
  • do muiltiple above actions
• Pause menu
  • inventory
• GameManager
  • ❌ I don't remember what this was about
• Dialogue system
  • comb over code again
  • multi-slide dialogue
  • can go through dialogue without mouse
  • can skip through dialogue
  • can respond
  • can offer different responses
• Door, Sign, Photo -> InteractableObj
• BaseObject Class
  • ❌ Try some sort of mixin strat again
    • did a do all approach
• ObjectManager registers objects based on non-null abilities
• Other refactors 🤭
• Depth sorting
• Easy scene creation
