Dice Repo | Demo (not used yet) Handle dice display and animation WORK IN PROGRESS Only d6 is started
Moving object using CSS animation (mostly)
Phantom object move on oversurface https://codepen.io/VictoriaLa/pen/gORvdJo This technique creates clone of the object it moves it on another surface. It works well when parents that css transform applies such as scale and rotate
Move object directly using positioning https://codepen.io/VictoriaLa/pen/dyzgKVX This technique is modification of BGA framework method to allow mobile object not to have absolute position before or after the move (and uses css animation not dojo). Methods slideToObjectRelative, attachToNewObjectNoDestroy
Responsive layout, zoom and navigation for game boards
Flex Layout https://codepen.io/VictoriaLa/pen/XWjJJgG Example on how to create flexible layout just by using css
Zoom Repo | Demo (visible on Knarr, Azul, Abyss, ...) Allow the user to zoom on the game board. Include the controls to zoom, and handle the scale applied to the HTML element.
Jump to Repo | Demo (visible on Knarr, Elawa) Add floating controls to quickly jump to a player's table
Algorithms
Hex grid tapestry,Tumbleweed,gaia project,Gold West
Shortest path on hex grid memoir 44 Dijkstra
Largest area on hex grid tapestry, ...
Largest area on square grid king domino, ...
Tetris pieces patchwork, ... Matrix manupations to rotate, flip and fit tetris pieces
Line of sights on hex grid memoir 44 Find intersecting hexes on a line between two cells
Alternative implementations of BGA modules
Scrollmap with zoom https://github.com/yansnow78/bga_scrollmap you can find it in cacao an implementation in cacao (currently only changed in studio) . # improvements compare to scrollmap:

- add zoom capabilities

- add possibility to adjust pan delta to tile size when clicking on arrows

- allow zoom with scroll wheel. only allow zoom with wheel if alt or ctrl or shift are pressed by default. add possibility to select which key need to be pressed when zooming with wheel

- allow pan/scroll and pinch zoom on smartphone. only allow 2 fingers to start scrolling by default, one finger is for page scrolling

- make clickable area of buttons a bit bigger on smartphone

- improve animation between game board and player bards thanks to an animation_div

- add support to long click on buttons (continuous scroll or zoom or enlarge/reduce until button released)

Scrollmap Plus patchwork Implementation with some bugs fixed, improved drag support and ability to use only one direction (i.e. only horizontal like carousel). Found in modules/extscrollmap.js
Cards Repo | Demo (visible on Knarr, King of Tokyo, Abyss, ...) Alternative to BGA Stock component, using CSS transitions instead of dojo animations.
Assorted stuff
Help Repo | Demo (visible on Knarr) Add floating help buttons at the bottom left corner of the screen

Projects

Add the game name, a link to repository and nickname of the developer on bga (same as used for dev forum), and short description. See Tools_and_tips_of_BGA_Studio#Version_Control for some suggestions on how and where to publish your code externally. Also see the boardgamearena topic on github.

Important notice about artwork on BGA Open Source projects: original hi-resolution images from publishers must not be published on the repositories. In addition, it is better to specify that the images derivated from publishers artwork are copyrighted and cannot be licensed under a free license like Creative Commons.

Projects on studio

Any developer can add themselves to a project as read-only from https://studio.boardgamearena.com/#!projects page (almost any project).

If it is not visible: a) it has no bgg id b) it is already published (use radio button to switch) c) it is an old game not developed on studio.
