The Gamma Javascript library requires a browser that supports WebGL. The nightly builds of Firefox, Chromium, and Safari support WebGL. Information about getting a WebGL enabled browser is maintained on the khronos website.

Using Gamma

This page will show you how to use the minified version of Gamma. If you need the full source (for debugging) follow the instructions to set up a development environment. OK, lets go:

Create a HTML file with the following text It will be used to load in the necessary JavaScript and CSS. This can be named whatever you want.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <title>My Awesome Game</title>

    <!--
        Include any style sheets here
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="gamma.css" media="all"/>
    -->

    <!-- Include the Gamma Library -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="gma-min.js"></script>

</head>

<body>

    <!-- The element to contain the rendering canvas is called #gamma by default -->
    <div id="gamma"></div>

    <!-- This javascript file contains the game specification -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="game.js"></script>

</body>
</html>

Download gamma and place the gma-min.js file in the same directory as the HTML file you just created.
Create a JavaScript file that holds the JavaScript that defines and starts your game. We'll call this file game.js. The minimal JavaScript should contain:
```
require([gma/base, gma/manager],

    function(gma) {
        // The game specification is contained within this function.
        var manager = gma.manager();
        manager.storeLevels({});
        manager.init();
    }
);
```
Note

If you want the game file to be called something else, then make sure to edit the HTML (above) so that it includes the correct file. Look for <script type="text/javascript" src="game.js"></script>.

Now you've setup all that is necessary to create your game. Let's get started with a tutorial making a simple game.

Enjoy :D
