A little game for the web inspired by healing raids and five man dungeons back in Azeroth. Who remembers Heal Rank 2?

• Play on https://webhealer.0sk.ar

A work in progress and happy to welcome new contributors.

Random notes to keep for later.

• Most spells trigger a global cooldown (GCD) of 1.5 seconds. During this time you cannot cast any other spells
• Mana regen is paused for 2 seconds whenever a cast completes
• Show combat stats once combat ends: Amount healed, Overhealing, Mana spent
• Experience? Why?
• Talents and talent points?
• Spells
  • Renew
  • Dispel
  • Heal
  • Fast Heal
  • Shield
  • Vampiric Something

This project used to have no build system, but I gave up. So now you npm run dev for a local development server.

It's a static HTML website that starts with index.html. It loads the src/main.ts script, which imports and starts everything. We can import the TypeScript file, because Vite is set up. This way we can use TS + npm packages freely.

The game uses the vroum (https://gitlab.com/jfalxa/vroum library). Vroum helps organize everything in a tree structure of Nodes along with schedulable Tasks that run on a requestAnimationFrame loop.

To make it easier to write HTML element with JavaScript, we use https://github.com/WebReflection/uhtml.
