babble.js

babble.js is a library for creating and manipulating virtual puppets

Installation

Using Node

npm install babble.js --save

and then use it in your code like so:

const babble = require('babble.js')

Client Side

Download the file at dist/babble.js and load it in your page somewhere (using the correct path to wherever you've placed the file)

<script src="js/babble.js"></script>

and then use it in your code using the global babble object.

How To Use

Here's an example usage of the program:

var stage = new babble.Stage('stage', {
    numCharacters: 5,
    assets: assetLists
}, assets, assetsPath)

stage.addPuppet(puppet, 1)

stage.getPuppet(1).jiggle()

Also available are docs over each of the program's classes:

• Stage
• Puppet
• Cutscene

Creating puppets can be made significantly easier by using Babble Buds, which contains a puppet editor, and using the JSON files in the projects' "characters" folder
