Usage

To learn how to use this module, check out OogyCutscene.ts, which is full of documentation and comments about how to use the API and what its full capabilities are.

See example/ as well as the package.json command npm run example for a demo of it in action. Below, a snippet of the example’s index.html:

<script type="module">
  import { 
    OogyCutscene
  } from "/dist/OogyCutscene.min.js";

  const element = document.getElementById("dialogue");
  const text = "Hello, Github! This is oogy-cutscene, a simple but powerful tool for web-based video games.";
  
  const task = {
    element,
    text
  }; // this is a OogyCutsceneTask, but used in a pure JS context

  const performer = new OogyCutscene.OogyCutscenePerformer();

  console.log("oogy-cutscene example is starting its performance", task, performer);

  // we can also add as many tasks as we want using batch(), or calling perform more than once
  performer.perform(task)
    .then(() => {
      console.log("oogy-cutscene example has finished its performance", performer);
    })
    .catch(e => {
      console.error(e);
    });
</script>

Development

To begin development on this module, clone the repo and run npm install to grab all the needed development dependencies. Then, use npm start to turn the src/*.ts -> dist/*.js, then use npm run release to turn the .js to .min.js. See package.json to learn how these scripts work.

It can be helpful to make sure your IDE is using the same Typescript version as package.json. For example, in Visual Studio Code, open a .ts file and use the shortcut SHIFT+COMMAND+P and choose TypeScript: > Select TypeScript Version....
