Installation Instructions

Dependencies

NodeJS (Tested on v16.6.1) MongoDB (Tested on db version v4.4.5)

Instructions

0. Download mongodb and run it and obtain the url for it.

Usually they are written in this format: mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,...hostN[:portN]][/[defaultauthdb][?options]] https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/

1. download this repository.

git clone https://github.com/waleed177/ascii-mmo.git

2. open the terminal in that directory (or cd into it), then:

npm install
npm run compile

3. Go to the folder dist/app, and write these three files:

config.json

{
  "alphaKey": "whatever"
}

This is just used for registering, you need a key, this is dum and ill remove it later.

credentials.json

{
  "url": ""
}

Put the value of url as the url of your mongodb server along with the password and username.

test.json (I SHOULD rename it to world.json, but it won't be here for long ill switch to databases for worlds).

{
  "spawnPoint": {"x": 0, "y": 0, "z": 0},
  "gameObjects": []
}

This is an empty world file.

4. Run the software

npm start

5. Connect to it via web browser

The url would be http://127.0.0.1:3000/
