Build Candy Crush in TypeScript
by kandikits Updated: Oct 20, 2022
This kandi kit for Candy Crush (one of the most popular games), has been rewritten using the Phaser HTML5 game engine along with Typescript language. AngularJs is also used for creating game directives, so they can be easily included in the angular app.
Gulp is a streaming build system which can run tasks in sequence or parallel. Gulp-typescript is a plugin which allows you to convert your Typescript code into JavaScript. It can also serve as an alternative to TypeScript compiler if you don’t want all the features it provides (like support for external modules, rich IDE support). Gulp-concat is used to concatenate files together. Gulp-clean-css is used to remove comments from your CSS code.
The most important part of building a game like Candy Crush is to have a solid workflow. We have used TypeScript, Gulp and Webpack and built a fully-functional Candy Crush game. We'll be using TypeScript, Gulp and Webpack to build a fully-functional Candy Crush game. kandi kit provides you with a fully deployable Candy Crush app. Source code included so that you can customize it for your requirement.
