Template for resources.js

[parasyte]

The resources.js file can be templated to automatically populate the JSON structure by reading the data directory tree. See also the related ticket in the boilerplate: melonjs/boilerplate#16

Grunt can handle this, but i've got 2 images which doesn't belong to the game (icon files for web manifest) . Should we move those images to another folder? Another question: Perhaps isn't the time to make the generator game code the same as the boilerplate or vice versa?

[parasyte]

Well, I just finished this one for the boilerplate : melonjs/boilerplate#16

I won't have any feedback for you on the idea of merging generator and boilerplate. I haven't used either of these, and I think they both have their own advantages. Anyway if it makes sense, then yes maybe merge the projects.

[ellisonleao]

I guess we can have the same game code running on both projects. The only thing that will diff is the way both are installed. I am saying this because the boilerplate code is diverging from this one and i don't think that is cool. It can confuse the users.

[parasyte]

Yes, I agree it's bad to confuse users. Is there a way to merge them after all? Yeoman uses templates, and the boilerplate generally just uses grunt tasks to filter and augment source files.

[ellisonleao]

Yes, the best choice is to have the yeoman template a git submodule from the boilerplate project, but i have to check if that is possible.. then check if the grunt works as expected (i call the grunt command after the project is created on local folder)
