BAGEL: The Basic Adaptable Game Engine Library (JavaScript implementation)

The meaning behind the BAGEL acronym:

• Basic: built from first principles and does not make use of any other software libraries
• Adaptable: can be used to create a variety of video games
• Game Engine: a software framework primarily designed for the development of video games
• Library: a collection of reusable functions and classes that serve a particular purpose

BAGEL Documentation

Example games available:

• Starfish Collector
  • a collection-style game (the "Hello, world!" of game programming)
• Starfish Collector Deluxe
  • an improved version of the Starfish Collector game; includes automatic Sprite update system, Physics, world boundary and wrapping functions, and Gamepad support
• Space Rocks
  • an Asteroids-inspired game; play with keyboard or (XBox-style) gamepad

Notes:

• Running locally requires a web server. This is easy with Python, but requires a bit of configuration so that *.js files are served as "application/javascript" and not "text/plain"; this is handled by the file server.py in the root directory.
