Hi,
I have an issue, when i try to preload a json tilemap.
this.load.tilemap('level1', 'assets/level1.json', null, Phaser.Tilemap.TILED_JSON);
I get "Phaser' is not defined" in my terminal.
How can I load the tilemap properly?

Running yo phaser:state runs the app generator again.

Hello,

I know that this is a wider question about phaser but, its one I cant find a decent answer to anywhere I look.

Basically: Should I create a state for every level of a game?

If so then that would imply I'll be best off creating a module for each character and for the game mechanics.

As a side note I'm starting a long term project to make a game similar to final fantasy tactics advance or tactics ogre etc. (grid based, turn based strategy)

Any advice beyond my initial question is also amazingly appreciated.

Whis is more a request than an issue, could it be posible so when you start a new proyect the varaible "example" would be changed with the proyect name ?

This is not working on a newly created project...
In fact it's creating a directory in my root called '-p'.

Hi there,

thanks for creating the generator for phaser.

But unfortunately when i tried to run "npm start" command, it throws an errors

I installed phaser with bower and have it in my bower.json, but after installing generator-phaser running a yo phaser gives

You don't seem to have a generator with the name phaser installed. You can see available generators with npm search yeoman-generator and then install them with npm install [name].

when it also accepts generator-phaser as installed. I'm confused. Am I missing something basic?

Not sure if this is happening for other people as well, but npm install is not being run automatically when I create a new project.

Every time I generate I need to refactor to get it going. EG remove example codes & assets. Is it possible to generate a blank application?

I think it would be really helpful if the documentation included a reference to a project that used this generator, so that people that are newer to Phaser (myself)could dig into the code.

Does anyone have any projects that they feel would be a good example based on the project structure that this generator creates?

I'm overwhelmed by possibilities at this point and would like to just base the structure of my project similar to what someone else, with more experience, has done. Thanks :)

Opening terminal. Creating new directory with following command and moving into new directory:
mkdir -p Games/lucky && cd Games/lucky

Running following command: [Updating npm, yo and installing generator-phaser]
npm install npm -g && npm install yo generator-phaser -g && yo

Now running generator and picking up options such as:
? What's the name of your application lucky
? Which version of Phaser do you want? Arcade Physics + P2 Physics (Default)
? Which ECMAScript version do you want to use? ECMAScript 6/2015 (Default)
? Output an example game or boilerplate code? Boilerplate

Installed properly, running command:
npm start

Result given:

➜ lucky npm start
[email protected] start /Users/ts/Games/lucky
budo src/main.js:bundle.js --live -- -d -e src/main.js -t [babelify --comments false --presets es2015]

[0000] info LiveReload running on 35729
Error: Couldn't find preset "es2015" relative to directory "/Users/ts" while parsing file: /Users/ts/Games/lucky/src/main.js

Not sure if this qualifies as an issue, but did anyone successfully deploy this project to heroku? I am following the tutorials and I am sure that the issue that I run into is at creating the procfile where heroku does not understand the npm start because it does not have budo installed.

I also tried running the project with node main.js with no luck as I can't find info on how phaser code works.

If anyone can direct me to the right location then I will appreciate it.

Currently the generator uses phaser.min, this build is 745 KB while most of the time I never use P2 Physics. An arcade physics build is 568KB and no physics is 503KB.

So I wonder, what do you think of adding a question to choose the phaser build?

Hi!

When i run the project on android i got this :

Uncaught TypeError: this.game.scale.setScreenSize is not a function at t.value (bundle.min.js:1) at c.StateManager.loadComplete (phaser.min.js:10) at c.Loader.finishedLoading (phaser.min.js:20) at c.Loader.processLoadQueue (phaser.min.js:20) at c.Loader.asyncComplete (phaser.min.js:20) at c.Loader.fileComplete (phaser.min.js:20) at HTMLImageElement.a.data.onload (phaser.min.js:20)

It seem this method is deprecated in 2.6.2.
I've removed the line and tried on my phone (android 6) and a tablet(android 4.4). In both the built-in game seem to worked well.

Running sudo npm install -g generator-phaser gives me this:

I had yeoman working just fine with generator-angular and generator-angular-fullstack. What's different about generator-phaser?

Hey there

I've created a new phaser project via the generator, and I'm running the embedded budo server via npm start, as recommended. Making changes to main.js (or indeed any other JS file) doesn't trigger livereloading, despite --live being set in the package.json scripts entry. The livereload js file is being injected successfully, but bundle.js is never regenerated without killing the server and reloading

Please advise if further information is required.

Mac OSX 10.10.5
Chrome 51.0.2704.103

When I run sudo npm -g install generator-phaser it finishes installing successfully, however after doing so running yo phaser fails.

Has something changed recently? Any ideas on why this fails now?

hi! I've recently installed this generator but when I select the Phaser version this is what I get:

? Which version of Phaser do you want? Arcade Physics

Could you help me???
Thank you :)

please look here:

this original template is better then the current one and has more control

just wondering if supports phaser3?
i would test it myself however i have absolutely no idea what problems this tools solves! I am not familiar with Yeoman and i can't visualize the benefits of generated states as the "skeleton" would be like 2 lines of code and anything more is use-case specific...

EDIT: sorry forgot to mention, I am maintaining a Secure Docker Linux environment typical for a Phaser3 project (you'll see it on phaser news soon). I am now hoping to include some developer tools and this appears to be recommended in several places.

npm: 4.0.5v; LinuxMint 17.2 Cinnamon.

I just installed this generator, and something I was troubled at is that "npm run build" command won't work properly if you don't create a subfolder also named "assets" inside you "assets" folder to put your files there; otherwise what will happen is that all your asset files will be "built" on the root folder of the project, and Phaser won't find them when loading.

This also happens with the generator game example, which means you can't test it from scratch just by generating and building it.

It's stated that generated states are included in main.js but I see nothing about prefabs. When I try and call a generated prefab it errors as undefined. Do I need to include my prefabs manually and if so what is the best way so that they will end up in the final build. Thanks!

As of commit 1a0121c (the switch from cp to ncp), the build process is broken, because the '-rf' is not accepted by ncp. I can submit a pull request, if wanted, but it's mostly just removing the flags that fixes it.

I ran the generator and it installed all dependencies fine but when I ran gulp it threw the following error:

Using Node v0.10.24.

Create a new directory for your game:

Unix/OSX : mkdir ~/Desktop/mygame && cd $_
Windows : mkdir %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\mygame && cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\mygame

The OSs are reversed. I used the top one to create the directory on my Windows machine

Currently the build process packages all javascript together in main.min.js. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to keep phaser and your game separate. Many times you want to link phaser to a cdn or the same file so it can be cached.

Any reason these are together (apart of having a http request less)?

Could you please help me to elaborate the "prefab" mean?
