DartRocket is a HTML5 Game Engine, which is written in Dart and uses the StageXL rendering engine. The main goal of this framework is to provide an easy to use solution for HTML5 game making with the Dart language.
##How to start? This is how the most basic structure looks like with only one state.
- Create index.html file, which has
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>index</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="application/dart" src="index.dart"></script>
<script src="packages/browser/dart.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
- Create index.dart
library mygame;
import 'package:dartrocket/dartrocket.dart';
part "play.dart";
void main() {
//adding play state to the statemanager
game.stateManager.addState("play",new Play("play"));
//start the play state
game.stateManager.initState("play");
}
- Create play.dart
part of mygame;
class Play extends State {
Play(String name, [String nextState]): super(name, nextState);
load() {
//loading resources here(image,sound, textureatlas etc..)
}
create() {
//create gameobjects and event handlers
}
update(){
//game loop: usually for handling physics
}
}
