File naming conventions 📁

  • Give unique name for your game that don't exist already.
  • Folder naming convention
    • Game_Name ex. Tilting_Maze,Rock_Paper_Scissors (first letter should be capital and if you need space use underscore _ )
  • files in the folder
    • Main html file should be named as index.html , not something else like Tilting_Maze.html(Preferred)
    • Game files - index.html , script.js , style.css(not stictly to follow this but you should have separate file for each kind)
    • It is preferred if the main html file is directly added to the main folder of you game like Tilting_Maze/index.html along with other files like style.css, script.js
    • you can have other folders if you are having assets for your game
    • CreateREADME.md for your Game using this TEMPLATE.Although, it is not compulsory to follow this README template ,you can use your own README template whichever you prefer, to explain functionality and code of your Game
  • naming convention for the screenshot you will add in assets/images
    • Remember preview image should be in assets/images and not in main folder of Game itself.
    • Name of image should be same as your Game name
    • ex. Tilting_Maze.jpeg or .jpg or .png any of the image format, but don't add image format in the name itself , it is self-assigned to a image, you don't need to add it manually, otherwise it becomes Tilting_Maze.jpeg.jpeg
    • There should be only one ScreenShot of the game in assets/images and that too with same name as the Game (Exactly Same).
  • Note:-All Other data except the ScreenShot of your Game, should be in it's main folder , don't add it to other folders of the project.

Add Game to assets/js/gamesData.json

  • This is to Show your game on the main Website
    • Go to the end of gamesData.json and add :
    • , " No. ":{ "gameTitle" : " Title ", "gameUrl": " Main Folder ", "thumbnailUrl":" Preview Image " }
    • No.: Number for your Game , it should be the next number with respect to the file. eg: if the last no. in file at present is 625 you should put 626 at the place of No.
    • Title: this is the title for your game that will be shown on the website, if your game name is Super_Mario_Game ,put Title as Super Mario Game
    • Main Folder : This is the reference to index.html
      • if your index.html is directly in main game folder ,put the main folder name eg: Super_Mario_Game
      • if your index.html is in subfolder , give path to it eg: Super_Mario_Game/public (assuming index.html is in public folder of Super_Mario_Game folder)
      • if your main html file's name is not index.html , you need to specify the main html file also. eg:Super_Mario_Game/mario.html or if in sub folder Super_Mario_Game/public/mario.html
    • Preview Image: This is the image that will be shown as preview for your game , here you provide the name of the image that you added to assets/images folder, along with format type. Eg. Super_Mario_Game.png or Super_Mario_Game.jpg or with any other format.

Note:-

  • Do not modify anything else in the rest of the file, you only need to add your game in the end of the file.
  • Don't forget to add the comma for new entry (already give in above sample but this is a reminder as one might miss it to see in the sample)
