stjordanis / play-cljc Goto Github PK

A library for making games that run in both OpenGL and WebGL. There's no black box wasm trickery going on here; just good old fashioned cljc files, some macro magic, and absolutely zero social life. Every coffee shop barista near me agrees that this game library is basically the greatest one ever. Other game libraries? Total disasters! Everyone agrees. Believe me.

You can generate a new project with the Clojure CLI Tool:

clj -Sdeps "{:deps {leiningen {:mvn/version \""2.9.0\""}}}" -m leiningen.core.main new play-cljc hello-world

This will start you off with a little platformer. It will contain a README with all the commands you need to use.

• Check out the example games
• Read the dynadocs
  • Check out the interactive 2D and 3D examples
• Join the discussion on r/playcljc
• See the screencasts:
  • Intro to play-cljc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6WpUdECwmA
  • Making play-cljc games with O'Doyle Rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_mDiH5_hSc

• tile-soup - Parse tiled maps
• play-cljc.text - Render text
• iglu - Write shaders as Clojure data
• odoyle-rules - Manage state with a rules engine
• edna - Create MIDI music (this example game shows how to set it up in a project)

When you generate a new project with the command above, it'll come preconfigured with Paravim, a text editor written with play-cljc. Press Esc in dev mode to see the editor appear; see this demo.

• Install the Clojure CLI tool
• To run the examples in a native window on each OS:
  • clj -A:dev:linux native
  • clj -A:dev:macos native
  • clj -A:dev:windows native
• To install the release version: clj -A:prod install
