Hexdera

Hexdera is a simple multiplayer hex-grid game built with Elm and the Lamdera framework.

The project is based on:

• elm-hex-grid - my fork updated for compatibility with Elm 0.19 (original project: danneu/elm-hex-grid)
  • It provides interactive hexagonal grid with features like shortest paths or fog of war
• Lamdera example chat app
  • It provides multiplayer architecture with real-time frontend/backend synchronization

You can try the game online here: Hexdera Live Demo

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Most tasks can be performed through the lamdera CLI (instead of e.g. elm). To see all available commands:

lamdera

For the most useful options, you can also use the helper scripts defined in package.json:

npm run <command>

Available commands:

• reset (or lamdera reset) to reset application's persistent state
• dev (or lamdera live) to run locally
• build (or lamdera make src/Env.elm src/Types.elm src/Backend.elm src/Frontend.elm) to build the app
  • Run lamder make --optimize ... to build with optimizations
• deploy (or lamdera deploy) to deploy the app
  • See the docs for more information, or simply follow instructions of the deploy command
• format:elm (or lamdera format --yes ./src/ ./external/hex-grid/ ./tests/) to format the code
  • Run command format:prettier to format the README, or just format to format both
• test to run the tests
