Why am I writing this game

This game is develop pure ES6 javascript for the game engine, and React for early visualizations. My goal is to practice Javascript, React and client-server architectures (soon). Ideally, this will become a great multiplayer game.

The game engine (a.k.a. cities) is totally separated from the game play and storytelling. If you want to check how Monkeys' world is described, checkout the GameModule.js.

Wish list

This is the current withlist, and what to expect soon:

• Better, original graphics.
• Mobile client.
• Server-side storage and logic.
• Async progress: Queuing actions (buildings, research, upgrades, etc).
• Collaboration between players: Commerce.
• Battles agains AI.
• Battles agains other players

Storyline and gameplay:

• Monkeys get skills.
• Building get upgrades.
• Village organization.

Technical wishlist:

• Centralize all interaction through the GameController, instead of calling methods directly from class instances.
• Better UI refreshment, based on events.
• Responsive design.
