This is a squad builder for Fantasy Flight Games' X-Wing Miniatures game, completely in HTML and JavaScript. No backend is necessary. It can theoretically be dropped into any existing site, but since it uses a lot of styling from Twitter Bootstrap it may require some CSS trickery if you're using some other incompatible framework (e.g. Foundation).
Saving: yes, if you provide a backend that adheres to the API. See my X-Wing Backend project for an example. Sharing, no.
Yes.
I wanted a project to work on and screw around with stuff like HAML and Bootstrap and Select2, etc.
It's an ongoing process.
- Install Node.js to get
npm. - Run
sudo npm installto install the dependencies listed inpackage.json. - Install Ruby to get
gem. - Install Bundler:
sudo gem install bundler - Use Bundler to install the remaining dependencies listed in
Gemfile:sudo bundle install
Then run cake build and all the HTML, CoffeeScript, and CSS files will be created.
Someday I'll make this a cake target, but until then:
Download and extract Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and Select2 into the top level.
