This is a by-product of my last Ludum Dare. I decided to take out the initial project skeleton I created for the jam so I could re-use it in future events. I released it in the form of a Yeoman generator: meet generator-gamejam.

What it provides?

• An starter "Hello World" game, with a preloader, ready to be executed or deployed.
• Phaser framework for HTML5 games.
• Browserify for managing dependencies and using Node modules.
• Gulp tasks for building and automation.

You just need to globally install Yeoman and this generator:

npm install -g yo generator-gamejam

Now create a new directory for your game and run the generator from them:

mkdir awesome-game
cd awesome-game
yo gamejam

You will be asked a few questions, such as the title for the game or your Github username. After that, you will get your starter skeleton, ready to go:

gulp --watch

Have fun!
