Minigolf (Arcade API)

What is it?

This is a 2D minigolf arcade game created using JavaScript to run on the Arcade API (not a web-browser). It has it's own UI system build completely from scratch and a level editor and tester.

What does it contain?

• GameBase - a module I created to ease the process of making things within the API. This includes:
  • Basic text rendering and font support (using a text spritesheet)
  • UI elements with click, hover and drag support.
  • Draw and click ordering, so elements can be placed atop each-other.
  • Buttons with hover events and callbacks
  • Text entries with text selection and modification
  • Number entries with automatic validation
  • Cursor rendering with different types of cursors
  • Dropdown elements with automatic closing
  • Scroll boxes with automatic resizing
  • Console system
• Box2D (a 2D physics engine) written in JS. I didn't write this, but I don't remember the author. I decided to retire my own 2D physics.
• Minigolf level editor. Accessible by pressing ¬ and typing leveledit. The level editor contains:
  • Automatically connecting grass blocks
  • Ball pushers
  • Moving platforms (in dev)

How do I play?

1. Download the Arcade API from here. Download the one that supports JavaScript at the bottom of the post, otherwise this won't work.
2. Unpack the folder and save it somewhere
3. Create a new folder inside the projects folder called gamebase.
4. Place the contents of this repository into the gamebase folder. You should have a file structure like so: PATH_TO_ARCADE/projects/gamebase/main.js
5. Open a command prompt inside the arcade api root folder (where you can see the projects folder and tool.exe)
6. Type tool gamebase. And voila, you're done. You can open the level editor using ¬ and typing leveledit. There's currently no gameplay aside from the editor.
