Juno is a simple and lightweight 2D game framework written in TypeScript for making tiny pixel style HTML5 Games. The structure of Juno is similar to that of fantasy consoles with a simple API. Creating prototypes has never been easier.

The framework is still in an early stage of development.

FAQ

How is the basic setup?

Have a look at the Juno examples. You will find a boilerplate.

Basically, only three functions are required. The init() function can be used to initiate the color palette, load the sprites or the json map file and define variables. With the update() function parameters are adjusted and the render() function draws your masterpieces.

How do I load my sprites?

Make a call of the load() function in your init(). The path is relative to your root folder. You can then draw your sprites in the render() function.

init(): void {
  this.api.load("sprites", "./src/assets/sprites.png", 8);
}

render(): void {
  this.api.spr(0, 10, 10);
}

Be aware: Currently you can only load one sheet (spritesheet and Tileset together)

How do I load my JSON map?

Similar as loading your sprites. Be sure to load your tiles before.

init(): void {
  this.api.load("tiles", "./assets/tiles.png", 8);
  this.api.load("map", "./assets/map.json", 8);
}

render(): void {
  this.api.spr(0, 10, 10);
}

Be aware: Currently you can only load one sheet (spritesheet and Tileset together)

How do I load my own color palette?

One palette comprises a total of 16 colours. By default, a predefined palette is loaded. Your own palette can be loaded using a chain of hex strings (6 x 16 = 96 characters).

init(): void {
  this.api.ipal(1a1c2c572956b14156ee7b58ffd079a0f07238b86e276e7b29366f405bd04fa4f786ecf8f4f4f493b6c1557185324056);
}

OK, so I have chosen a color palette, but how do I get the colors into my graphics editor?

The easiest way is to load the already defined .css swatch directly into your graphics editor. Et voilà!
