Cock O' The

A game that can be played anywhere on the Internet, with as many levels as there are webpages :)

How to build

• Run yarn to install all the needed deps
• Run yarn build to build production package
• Run yarn deploy to prepare a chrome-compatible zip package

Note

If you pass these environments variable to deploy script, you can automate the deployment to the chrome web store

const UPLOAD_TO_CHROME = false // Should the deploy upload the zip to the chrome web store
const REFRESH_TOKEN = '' // Chrome web store api refresh token
const EXTENSION_ID = '' // Chrome web store extension id
const CLIENT_SECRET = '' // Chrome web store api client secret
const CLIENT_ID = '' // Chrome web store api client id

How to contribute

Disclaimer

We built this game in less than 48 hours without sleeping during the Global Game Jam 2019. We are seriously not responsible for any ill effect caused by reading our code. We will not answer any question about How or Why. We do not know. We would also like to point out that we are 4 young web developers, therefore I would not expect to see anything special.

Easy mode

• Run yarn dev to start up a webserver on port 9000 that will host the compiled javascript bundle
• Open Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions
• Enable developer mode in the top-right corner of the page, if you haven't done yet
• Click on Upload a non packaged extension (I don't know the exact english translation)
• Select the test folder
• Enjoy :P

Note that every time you modifyy a js file, webpack will automatically recompile the bundle. You will need to reload the webpage to see those changes take effect.

Webpack will also automatically open a new tab pointing to localhost:9000 with the injected script. You can modify this template applying changes to public/index.html

Complex mode

• Run yarn watch to start up webpack --watch
• Manually inject the bundle.js file

How to use

Manually inject script in the webpage

javascript:document.head.innerHTML += '<script src="http://localhost:9000/bundle.js"></script>'

or

const script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = "http://localhost:9000/bundle.js";
document.head.appendChild(script);

replace http://localhost:9000/bundle.js with the address where the compiled javascripts file are hosted

Use chrome extension

As we are waiting for Google to publish the extension, currently you'll have to follow these steps:

• Download the executable zip here
• Extract the zip somewhere
• Open chrome and go to chrome://extensions
• Enable developer mode in the top-right of the page, if you haven't done yet
• Click on Upload a non packaged extension (I don't know the exact english translation)
• Select the folder in which you extracted the zip
• Now open any webpage you want and try to reach the homepage :P

FAQ

How is this game related to the Global Game Jam 2019 theme

You are browsing the web and you find yourself blocked in a webpage with no return button. What will you start looking for? Maybe you'll start searching for a "Home" button... and that's when the game start. You'll find yourself (as a chicken :P) blocked at the bottom of the page and you'll need to start jumping around to reach the home button. Once you get there, you will be redirected to the home page you were looking for!

How can I play?

Read the How to use section to install the game. You move the character using the left and right arrow keys. You can shoot eggs using the E key and the D key. The front facing shoot currently has not any useful function (yes, it sounds great, really great), it's just... beautiful. The "bottom-facing" shoot allow you to jump higher (you'll have to be near the explosion).
