## About

This is the source code for shapez, an open source base building game inspired by Factorio.
Your goal is to produce shapes by cutting, rotating, merging and painting parts of shapes.

-   [Play on Steam](https://get.shapez.io/ghr)
-   [Online Demo](https://shapez.io)
-   [Official Discord](https://discord.com/invite/HN7EVzV) <- _Highly recommended to join!_

## Building

-   Make sure `ffmpeg` is on your path
-   Install Node.js 16 and Yarn
-   Install Java (required for texture packer)
-   Run `yarn` in the root folder
-   `cd` into `gulp` folder
-   Run `yarn` and then `yarn gulp` - it should now open in your browser

**Notice**: This will produce a debug build with several debugging flags enabled. If you want to disable them, modify [`src/js/core/config.js`](src/js/core/config.js).

## Creating Mods

Mods can be found [here](https://shapez.mod.io). The documentation for creating mods can be found [here](mod_examples/), including a bunch of sample mods.

## Helping translate

Please checkout the [Translations readme](translations/README.md).
However, currently we are not reviewing new translations.

### Code

The game is based on a custom engine which itself is based on the YORG.io 3 game engine (Actually it shares almost the same core).
The code within the engine is relatively clean with some code for the actual game on top being hacky.

This project is based on ES5 (If I would develop it again, I would definitely use TypeScript). Some ES2015 features are used but most of them are too slow, especially when polyfilled. For example, `Array.prototype.forEach` is only used within non-critical loops since its slower than a plain for loop.

### Assets

You can find most assets <a href="//github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io-artwork" target="_blank">here</a>.

All assets will be automatically rebuilt into the atlas once changed (Thanks to dengr1065!)
