Can Phaser canvas code run without 'local web server' ?

[vmars316]

Hello & Thanks ,

Still looking for *.js library that can be developed/run without 'local web server' . 

Can Phaser do this ?

I read a tutorial that looked like this is possible .

Thanks...Vern

Sorry Vern, Phaser runs Pixi for rendering (the newest version will be different) so it is exactly the same situation.

It is possible, but with caveats.

THanks matt ;

I downloaded the 2.4.4 version and went thru the demo :

http://phaser.io/tutorials/getting-started/index 

and went in and changed all the statements :

var game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, '', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });

to:

var game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.CANVAS, '', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });

And they all run fine .

Will it stop working when I use more complex features ?

Nope, probably not. So long as you can load up a texture/image to use then I expect it'll be just fine.

Ok , Thanks matt ,

I'll let you know if I run into probs .

If you are unwilling to set up yor own local server you can use code editor that has one build in. Brackets comes to mind. Or you can use develompent app on steroids called Prepros.

I found a really useful tutorial at pixelsizzle.com that shows how to change the chrome flags to use phaser offline.  Just be careful not to use this in regular browsing for security considerations.

Heres the full link:
