Add kenney game assets

[Stedders]

Include several assets https://kenney.nl/assets in the package to allow attendees to get up and running with the examples as quickly as possible.

Thoughts on this - perhaps this could be a script, depending on requests (and maybe a zip package) to download and install. Also, as Jonathan suggested, it could be installable offline from physical media, perhaps using a command line flag.

[Stedders]

Yeah, I was going to build some tooling around it to download the packages.

The offline comment is a good point. I'll put something together for review.

One thought on this would be a list/map of asset packs picked out from the number.
I'm hoping that each asset pack has a download link, then we'd have a destination - IE images, sounds. We don't want to get all (madness lies that way), but choose a few good ones.
Ie (yaml style, but could just be python dict):

- name: Pixel Platformer
  download: https://kenney.nl/content/3-assets/29-pixel-platformer/kenney_pixelplatformer.zip
  destination: images
- name: Sci-Fi Sounds
  download: https://kenney.nl/content/3-assets/40-sci-fi-sounds/sci-fi-sounds.zip
  destination: sounds

I guess which we'll use is a bit tricky. We probably want to have support for monsters, characters, animals, platformers, shooters, puzzles, racing, top down. Then themes like medieval, town, space.

I'd avoid the isometric and hex tiles for now. There's also the matter that we haven't really explored using tilesets for gaming in any dojo sheet at all yet, so maybe for now the big assets make sense.

I've been implementing something along those lines...

{
    "assets": [
        {
            "archive": null,
            "local": null,
            "name": "tiny-town",
            "url": "https://kenney.nl/assets/tiny-town"
        },
        {
            "archive": null,
            "local": null,
            "name": "pattern-pack-pixel",
            "url": "https://kenney.nl/assets/pattern-pack-pixel"
        },
        ...

I hope to have something by Saturday, and we can discuss it.

That's the raw asset list, we can then group stuff together as you suggest.

[dannystaple]

That sounds awesome. Looking at the list, I guess we are talking about 3 modes of operation?

• install from the internet
• Download from the internet into a local folder (to make a USB stick)
• install from the local folder

I'm making it flexible enough to allow these options.

The MVP will install from the Internet, and we can then extend it.

100% behind making an internet install mvp. Perhaps a couple of tickets to break down the other options then?Sent from my iPhoneOn 21 Jan 2023, at 09:00, Stedders ***@***.***> wrote: I'm making it flexible enough to allow these options.
