NetPanzer SB

Introduction

NetpanzerSB is a client application for the real-time tactical game NetPanzer. It is designed in order to keep in touch members of the community and to provide the following features:

• Server Browser
• Ranking
• ShoutBox / Chat

This is an Android application developed with Cordova and JQuery Mobile.

Data is consumed as JSON from the official netpanzer game site http://www.netpanzer.info, with the gentle concession of the owner of the site ( hi Lohengrin :D ).

Project Layout

The layout follows the guideline of cordova, except the www-src directory, which is used for development. In this dir you can find the main part of the application.

Build and installation

Before building projects locally, you need to set up your SDK development environment to deploy Cordova apps for Android devices.

In order to install the Cordova CLI tool, follow these steps:

1. Download and install Node.js. Following installation, you should be able to invoke node or npm on your command line.

2. Install the cordova utility. In Unix, prefixing the additional sudo command may be necessary to install development utilities in otherwise restricted directories:

$> sudo npm install -g cordova

The installation log may produce errors for any uninstalled platform SDKs.

To deploy the App on an Emulator or Device (in the last case ensure you have Degub USB enabled) follow these steps:

$> cd netPanzerSB
$> npm install
$> grunt
$> cordova run android

Debug

You can run the application in the browser with:

$> cordova run browser --target=chromium #you can specify the desidered target, default is google-chrome

By this way you can enter in the address bar of the browser localhost:8000 to see the running app. At this point you can hack on the source code too, or inspect using DevTools.

Other grunt tasks:

$> grunt build   # default task, optimize assets (css/js minification) and copy output into `www` dir

That's all!

Build

You can build the apk with:

$> grunt  # compile and copy assets from www-src to www
$> cordova build android --verbose
