Burgle

Collection of tools and utilities to help gameplay for Burgle Brothers© by Tim Fowers

Floor Generator

The primary purpose of this project. Assists play by generating floors for games. Aiming for pure javascript with no dependencies. Thanks to a contribution from another player/developer, this can be installed as an app on your phone.

Running

I'm able to just open the index.html found in the base directory. If that doesn't work, try nodejs:

> npm install -g http-server
> http-server

Then open your browser to http://localhost:8080

Testing

Mocha is used for testing. If you don't have nodejs and mocha set up, first install nodejs, then run:

> npm install -g mocha
> npm install
> mocha 

I tried using grunt at first, but it was painfully slow. Using mocha directly is really fast.

Deployment

Deployment is really nothing more than creating a dist directory and minimizing javascript. The project works out of the checked out directory with no build, so you can make changes and refresh without having to build first.

> grunt

This will create a dist directory containing only the files you need for the html5 app to work.

layout_stats - Calcuating difficulty

This contains is a single c++ program that brute forces all the possible layouts. It isn't part of the project in the standard way, just a tool I used to come up with useful numbers.

Max heat with 8 walls: 183

Heat is determined by walking all path combinations and adding 1 for every traversal
