Tapgrove Game Template

The complete source of Tapgrove 2.0, an orchard incremental where the year is a chain and each crew works only in its season, with beds, work songs, weather and guards, season gifts, a daily orchard and the PN Scripts menu standard; unit, smoke and end-to-end tests included.

What it solves

The gap

An incremental game where everything produces all the time has no decisions beyond 'buy the best ratio'; a chain of stages that each work only part of the time needs a careful economy, bots to measure it and a view that shows where the chain breaks.

What it is

This template gives you a tuned four-season chain with beds, songs, tools and weather, human-model bots that time whole runs (and prove that ignoring the chain is slower), a year card that names the bottleneck and a scene that shows every stage.

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 incremental, idle or management game with a seasonal production chain on itch.io, web portals or your site.
  • Learning how a complete seasonal incremental with a production chain, human-model balance tests, a menu standard and saves is built in plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D.

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

The chain

SEASONS, CREWS and the step function hold the rule: each crew works only in its season on what the previous one left. Change SEASON_LEN, GOAL, the crew rates or the bed rules, then let the bots time a run.

Bots as balance tests

PROFILES describe human models (taps a second, how often they shop, whether they follow the chain); simulate() plays a whole run in Node and the unit tests hold the medal bands.

No build step

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

Tests included

23 unit tests of the core (each season's job, withering and falling, crews only in their season, beds, songs, weather and guards, gifts, year cards, medals, saves) with human-model playtests, 82 headless Chrome checks (keyboard, mouse, touch, gamepad, menus, saves, phones, sound levels) and a smoke test whose bot plays a whole orchard.

Questions

Make and sell any number of your own games from it, and build games for clients. You may not resell or share the source code itself (PN Scripts Template Licence 1.0).

Any static web server to run the game, and some JavaScript. Node.js 22.12 or newer and Google Chrome run the tests.

No ad or portal SDK, and English only. It is tested in desktop Chrome and phone-sized Chrome viewports with touch (held sideways at 915x412, 844x390 and 750x342; upright shows a turn-sideways hint), not yet on iOS Safari, Firefox or a real phone.

The code was written with AI assistance and checked by PN Scripts with automated tests. All visuals and sounds are generated by code; there are no AI-generated image or audio files.
