Eon Rift

Eon Rift is a unique JavaScript-based puzzle game where players align rift nodes to stabilize dimensional rifts. Match node states (core, edge, void) in adjacent grid cells to form connections, earning points and advancing through eon stages. Built with Node.js and the canvas library, this game is designed for developers seeking a modular, extensible project.

Features

• Dimensional Gameplay: Align nodes with matching states (core, edge, void) horizontally or vertically to stabilize rifts.
• Eon Stages: Progress through stages as you score, increasing node counts and flux levels.
• Modular JavaScript: Clean, object-oriented code for seamless integration and extension.
• Canvas Rendering: Server-side rendering with the canvas library, suitable for desktop or web applications.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/eon-rift.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd eon-rift

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. Run the game:

   npm start

How to Play

• Objective: Align adjacent nodes with the same state (core: pink, edge: blue, void: teal) horizontally or vertically by cycling their states.
• Scoring: Each rift connection earns 50 points multiplied by the current stage.
• Stage Progression: Reach 500 points per stage to advance, increasing node count and flux levels.
• Interaction: Use game.handleClick(x, y) to cycle node states (requires UI integration).
• Reset: Call game.reset() to restart the game.

Development

• Tech Stack: Node.js, JavaScript, canvas
• Dependencies: canvas for rendering
• Code Structure:
  • index.js: Main game logic and canvas rendering.
  • node.js: RiftNode class for dimensional entities.
  • package.json: Project metadata and dependencies.
• Extending: Integrate with a UI framework (e.g., Electron for desktop or a web server) to handle input and display the canvas.

Notes

• The current implementation outputs a PNG snapshot (output.png) for testing. For interactive play, integrate with a UI framework to handle mouse clicks and real-time rendering.
• Example integration: Use Electron for a desktop app or a WebSocket server for web-based play.
