boardgame.io is an engine for creating turn-based games using JavaScript.
Write simple functions that describe how the game state changes when a particular move is made. This is automatically converted into a playable game complete with online multiplayer features, all without requiring you to write a single line of networking or storage code. ### Features - **State Management**: Game state is managed seamlessly across clients, server and storage automatically. - **Multiplayer**: Game state is kept in sync in realtime and across platforms. - **AI**: Automatically generated bots that can play your game. - **Game Phases**: with different game rules and turn orders per phase. - **Lobby**: Player matchmaking and game creation. - **Prototyping**: Interface to simulate moves even before you render the game. - **Extendable**: Plugin system that allows creating new abstractions. - **View-layer Agnostic**: Use the vanilla JS client or the bindings for React / React Native. - **Logs**: Game logs with the ability to time travel (viewing the board at an earlier state). ## Usage ### Installation ```sh npm install boardgame.io ``` ### Documentation Read our [Full Documentation](https://boardgame.io/documentation/) to learn how to use boardgame.io, and join the [community on gitter](https://gitter.im/boardgame-io/General) to ask your questions! ### Running examples in this repository ```sh npm install npm start ``` The examples can be found in the [examples](examples/) folder. ## Changelog See [changelog](docs/documentation/CHANGELOG.md). ## Contributing See the contributing [guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).
