I created a while ago a generator for Yeoman that could scaffold a HTML 5 game project. Perfect for game jams!

After the last Ludum Dare I decided to update it a bit and make some fixes and improvements:

• Live reload works again.
• Now you can embed your game in iframes

The embedding part is important because some websites that showcase online games (like the Ludum Dare page) need this.

To give this a try:

npm install -g yo generator-gamejam
yo gamejam

You will be asked a few questions, like the name of your game or which resolution it will run on.

Now you can use Gulp to develop your game. Try these tasks:

• gulp run: this is "development mode", it will watch your JS for changes and re-run Browserify and automatically reload the web browser.
• gulp dist: this will build your game and create a release in a dist folder.
• gulp deploy: once you have configured your browser settings in gulp.config.json, you will be able to deploy to your static server with this task (it uses rsync).

Take a look at the README for more info.

Happy jams! :)
