Asset files¶
This section is for a person who changes the art in the project folder.
The assets are SVG files. Each set has its own folder (web/assets/setA to web/assets/setH). The file web/assets/manifest.json lists the sets, the asset names, the default set and the game texts of each theme set.
| Asset | Files for each set |
|---|---|
| PIC1 to PIC5, AUS1 to AUS5 | 10 |
| WILD, KEY, FS | 3 |
| One asset for each fish value | 14 |
| One FISH asset with no number for each tier | 4 |
| Backgrounds (base game and free spins) | 2 |
| Logo | 1 |
| Total | 34 |
- The script
tools/build_assets.pydraws all assets with VectorCraft (thevectorcraft-clitool) and exports them as SVG. - If you configure a fish value that has no asset, the game uses the FISH asset with no number and draws the value on it.
- If an asset file is missing, the game draws a placeholder.
- To add an asset set, add a folder with the same file names and add the set to
manifest.json. - The field
defaultSetofmanifest.jsongives the set that the game shows first. The symbol pictures in this document use the same set.
