# Whale Hunting - A Point & Click Adventure
|
|
|
|
A Monkey Island-style adventure game based on 18th century whaling history, including the dark practice of burning penguins as emergency fuel when traditional fuel ran out.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Install Dependencies
|

### Run Development Server
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The game will be available at `http://localhost:5173` (or another port shown in the terminal).
|
|
|
|
### Build for Production

|
|
## Current Features
|
|
|
|
- **Ship Deck Scene**: Explore the deck of your whaling vessel
|
|
- **Interactive Objects**: Click on barrels, the ship's wheel, and other objects
|
|
- **Inventory System**: Track fuel, whale oil, and penguins
|
|
- **Message System**: Get feedback when interacting with objects
|
|
|
|
## Game Concept
|
|
|
|
The game simulates 18th century whaling expeditions where:
|
|
- Whalers hunt whales to produce whale oil
|
|
- Fuel management is critical for the voyage
|
|
- When fuel runs out, desperate measures (burning penguins) become necessary
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
Future development could include:
|
|
- Whale hunting mini-game/scene
|
|
- Port scene for resupply and selling oil
|
|
- Decision system for fuel management
|
|
- Narrative elements and character dialogues
|
|
- Penguin catching mechanics
|
|
- Multiple voyages with progression
|
|
- Art assets to replace placeholder graphics
|
|
|
|
## Technology
|
|
|
|
- **Phaser 3**: Game framework
|
|
- **Vite**: Build tool and dev server
|
|
- **JavaScript (ES6 modules)**: Programming language
|
|
|
|
## Controls
|
|
|
|
- **Mouse**: Click to interact with objects
|
|
- Point-and-click adventure style navigation
|
|
|
|
## Development Notes
|
|
|
|
This is a prototype with placeholder graphics (colored rectangles). Art assets can be added later by:
|
|
1. Adding images to `assets/sprites/` or `assets/backgrounds/`
|
|
2. Loading them in the scene's `preload()` method
|
|
3. Replacing rectangle shapes with sprites
