飛んで行こ！(Tonde-Iko!)

This is a 50 player 6 screen platformer. Players connect to the WiFi and use their smartphone to control a player. They then start at the left most screen and can move their characters across all 6 screens.

Made with HappyFunTimes

The 6 levels below were created for the Steam Carnival

Making Levels

See Making Levels.

Note: The code is currently hardcoded to 6 levels across. That is an artifical limit. It would be trival (as in minutes of work) to support any number of screens in any arrangement. Instead of

▆ ▆ ▆ ▆ ▆ ▆

How about

            ▆ ▆ ▆   ▆ ▆ ▆
    ▆ ▆ ▆   ▆   ▆ ▆ ▆   ▆ ▆ ▆
▆ ▆ ▆   ▆ ▆ ▆       ▆ ▆ ▆

With a little more work diagonal screens could also be supported.

Running

If you want to run it requires 7 machines and 6 monitors, 1 network switch, 1 wifi router.

1. Connect all 7 machines and the router to the network switch.

2. On one machine, install happyfuntimes.

3. clone this repo (or download the zip).

4. Install node.js.

5. Open a terminal/command prompt

6. Install bower by typing sudo npm -g install bower (if on windows don't type sudo)

   bower is a package manager for downloading libraries needed by project

7. cd to the place you unzipped or cloned this project and type bower install

   this installs the extra libraries needed by tonde-iko

8. type hft add

   this adds tonde-iko to your local happyfuntimes installation

   You can now run the individual levels by running happyfuntimes and picking the hft-tonde-iko game.

   Run one level, copy the URL. You'll need it for the steps below

9. Setup the router for installation mode.

10. Install Chrome on the other 6 machines.

11. On each of those machines write a script to launch chrome when the machine starts

    on Mac that is something like

    /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --kiosk --no-first-run "<URL>"
    

    Where <URL> is the URL copied from step 8 except change localhost to the ip address of the machine running happyfuntimes. You know this ip address from setting up installation mode (step 9)

    Example URL

    http://192.168.2.9:8080/games/(_Users_gregg_src_hft-tonde-iko)tonde-iko/realgame.html?settings={%22shared%22:{%22canvasWidth%22:1280,%22canvasHeight%22:720,%22fullWidth%22:7680,%22fullHeight%22:720},%22x%22:2560,%22y%22:0,%22columns%22:6,%22rows%22:1,%22id%22:%22s2-0%22,%22levelName%22:%22level2-0%22}
    

    Note at the end of the URL

    %22id%22:%22s2-0%22,%22levelName%22:%22level2-0%22
                 ^                              ^
                 |                              |
          id ----+                level name ---+
    

    The ids and level names are

    s0-0  level0-0
    s1-0  level1-0
    s2-0  level2-0
    s3-0  level3-0
    s4-0  level4-0
    s5-0  level5-0
    

    The --kiosk makes chrome run fullscreen. The --no-first-run tells it no to ask you to set it up

    I realized I'm glossing over how to write a startup script here. Google that as it changes by OS.

That should be it. If you start the happyfuntimes then reboot the other 6 machines they should each launch chrome and go to their specific levels
