Philosophy/Direction

[frostney]

To streamline development in the future, I would like to give Lyria a clear direction and philosophy. (Something similar to what I did for the elysion powered game engine(s), see: https://github.com/elysion-powered/elysion/wiki/Philosophy and https://github.com/elysion-powered/spec, maybe a bit more precise, but without having a detailed specification.)

So far my ideas are:

• Focus solely on game development
• 2D games only
• Building the bridge between "classic" web development and game development (similar to what gameQuery does)
• DOM specific with CSS3 support
• Lightweight / Microframework (10 - 15 kb minified), this would mean getting rid of things like lyria/console.js or lyria/ui.js for example
• Weak dependencies (All dependencies except for jQuery are optional)
• Simplified development and deployment (I was thinking something along the lines of a command-line app, just like express)

I'm open to other ideas as well.

One moar idea (with some help from @Polooo2 ):

• Mobile-friendly (Maybe CSS specific classes for Android, iOS, etc.)

I'll close this, because the philosophy with these topics is now in the wiki (https://github.com/freezedev/lyria/wiki/Philosophy) and I would say the current master branch (version 0.2.0) follows these aspects pretty closely.
