Web-Canvas-Stick-Figures

An example for showing scripting on the Web. It is a series of files that progressively do more with canvas, and finally a Node.js server for a simple multi-player stick figure diamond hunt game.

Installation:

Most of the files are static files happily working off of a local drive or any server.

The multiplayer game needs a server; it's a typical Node.js/Express.js server, so do:

• npm install
• npm start

admin.html gives you links to reset the scores, start and stop generating diamonds. config.js can be set up to only allow these links to work from a certain referer, as a simple authentication mechanism (e.g. use a hidden Moodle page).

Notes and TODOs:

• object model, stick figure should be an object, with behavior
  • figure.walkTo(x,y)
  • figure.walkTo(x,y,cb) -- callback when we're there
  • figure.draw(c,time)
• stick figures dancing harlem shake?
• admin security should be done with username/password, not with referer
