The game is basend on the Cocos2d-x game engine, more specifically the JavaScript version of it, which is called cocos2d-js.
We started out with Vagrant images, but these are quite cumbersome, and mostly vagrant specific(though it's possible to reuse bits from the provisioning shell script.). We would like to use Docker as a build machine, and that means porting the porvisioning script to Docker, which has a quite bad syntax. Probably the best solution is to use Packer from Hashicorp, which is a tool for specifying the requirements for a machine, and it would spit out Vagrant, Docker, VMWare, you name it, VMs. It looks like the right tool for the job.
This seems to be the answer:
Getting started with cocos2d-html5 and a working html5 dev environment seems to be a bowerinstall away.
vagrant upThe script by itself will install all the prerequisites for the cocos2d-x and cocos2d-js, including the android sdk/ndk. Note: not done yet.
