1.6 Hardware and Software Requirements

Development Requirements

Development requirements are a set of instructions or specifications that outline what needs to be done in order to create a software application, website, or any other technology-related project.

These requirements describe the features, functionalities, and overall goals of the project. They provide a roadmap or a clear plan for the developers to follow during the development process.

Hardware Required

Kaboom.js

  • Processor: Any modern CPU should work. The browser needs to perform well, not necessarily the CPU.

  • RAM: It's suggested that you should have at least 4GB. If you're using an IDE like Visual Studio Code alongside a web browser, 8GB would be ideal for smoother performance.

  • Disk Space: Kaboom.js itself takes minimal space. However, the total storage space needed will depend on your game's assets. A few GBs of free space should be plenty.
