Introduction

- RPG JS is a framework to achieve RPG browser. Please note, you must have a minimum of programming knowledge to use the framework even if it greatly facilitates the task (scrolling, collision, motion ...)

- RPG JS uses the HTML 5 and Javascript. It builds on the framework EaselJS for manipulating bitmaps, sprites, etc..

- A script on RPG Maker XP can convert a Map to RPG JS

- Browser Compatibility: IE9, Google Chrome, Firefox> = 3.5, Safari> = 4.0, Opera> = 10.5

Benefits

I found several advantages:
- No need to download
- Ability to link with a database (with Ajax requests) and record scores for example (not implemented in the framework)
- Ability to link with other contents of the site (see the bars of life outside the game ...)
- Ability to play with the mouse
- Added non-existing commands on RPG Maker
- Integrated Tactical RPG
- Possible evolution (towards MMORPG)
- Play on iPhone / IPAD / Archos ...
- Open Source

Operation

RPG JS uses the same structure as RPG Maker. You load a Map showing properties (Tileset, Music ...) and nothing else. In fact, you also specify events in the Map. Next you create events with an appearance of the pages and controls event. You can find the switches, local switches and common commands such as displaying a message, moving a character, etc..

For now, some commands have been programmed.

Take an example:



In a nutshell, you load a map. Resources are the same types of file that RPG Maker XP ("Graphics/Tilesets" for example)

The event "Event02", This is a file in "Data / Events" which includes cleanliness of the event (see above) A English documentation will be present.
