Various amber examples

Prerequisites

1. A web browser with reasonably good support for HTML5 canvas.
2. git, on Windows Git for Windows
3. nodejs. This will give you the node package manager npm as well.
4. A global install of the amber npm package
5. A global install of the bower client side package manager in order to install the dependencies

The amber and bower packages can be installed with the following command (In some cases you have to call npm with sudo npm):

npm install --global amber-cli bower

or the same thing, but less typing:

npm i -g amber-cli bower

Rebuilding examples using Grunt.js (development mode)

Since Amber 0.10.0 Grunt.js is used as commandline build system. To use it with the examples it is first necessary to install all dependencies with

• install grunt-cli globally if not already present: npm install -g grunt-cli
• cd amber-examples
• npm install

Afterwards the examples can be built/recompiled by running the following command in the subdirectory of each example:

grunt

The subdirectories might contain additional README files which might contain additional information.

Status

• Loads fine with Amber version 0.12.6
