About The Project

Built With

This section is actually mostly empty since I tried to keep the dependencies to a minimum. That said, there are some projects that made my life a lot easier:

• TypeScript
• nanoid
• Nx

Why?

Mostly, I wanted to experiment with some ideas I had about how to create a game engine. I also wanted to learn more about TypeScript and how to use it to create a library.

But also, I really like the idea of giving back to the community. God knows how much I've learned from the open source community. So I thought it would be nice to create something that could help others.

Why the name?

First of all, I love Asimov's Foundation series. Seriously, go read it right now if you haven't already.

Secondly, Asimov created entire worlds with just a few words. I wanted to create a tiny engine that could be used to create games with just a few lines of code. So I thought the name was fitting and a nice tribute to the author.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

This is an example of how to list things you need to use the software and how to install them.

• Install pnpm folowing the instructions here

Installation

1. Create new project if you haven't already. I like vite for this, but you can use whatever you want.

   pnpx create-vite my-project --template vanilla-ts

2. Install asimov-ts

   pnpm add @asimov-ts/core @asimov-ts/web

That's it! You can now start using the engine.

Usage

Please refer to this project to see how to use asimov-ts to create a sort of complete game.
