Gablewend Game Template

by PN Scripts

The complete source of Gablewend, a small city builder with growing zones, water, jobs, goods, happiness, land value, a monthly budget and bankruptcy. A headless smoke test proves keyboard and touch input and lets the built-in bot build a town of 1000.

The first road from the highway with newly zoned homes and the guided start line

What it solves

The gap

City builders need needs, coverage and a budget that interact clearly, or the player cannot tell why the town will not grow.

What it is

This template gives a small, tuned simulation with visible causes: overlays, demand bars and an advice line that point at the one blocking need.

How you use it

Unzip, serve the folder and open index.html, then edit game.js; npm test plays it again in headless Chrome.

Source code of a real, playable game to reskin and learn from, with a smoke test whose bot plays it.

Who it is for

Use it when

  • Publishing your own city builder, colony or management game on itch.io, web portals or your site.
  • Learning how a complete small city builder is built in plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D.
  • Building a branded mini-game for a client.

Built for

  • Web and indie game developers who know some JavaScript.
  • Developers who want a finished, tested game to build on instead of a blank canvas.

What you get

Coverage and needs

After every change the game finds the roads joined to the highway, spreads well, park, market and school coverage, and computes land value and happiness for each tile.

Growth and budget

A few zones a tick move one step toward their target level; at each month's end taxes and upkeep settle the treasury and debt counts toward bankruptcy.

No build step

Plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D; open index.html through any static server and edit game.js.

A smoke test

A headless Chrome test loads the game, checks the console, presses keys and taps, and lets the built-in bot play a run to its result screen.
