NOTE: This builder is for First Edition ONLY! There is a fork for Second Edition.
This is a squad builder for Fantasy Flight Games' X-Wing Miniatures game, completely in HTML and JavaScript. No backend is necessary. It can theoretically be dropped into any existing site, but since it uses a lot of styling from Twitter Bootstrap it may require some CSS trickery if you're using some other incompatible framework (e.g. Foundation).
Saving: yes, if you provide a backend that adheres to the API. See my X-Wing Backend project for an example. Sharing, no.
Yes.
I wanted a project to work on and screw around with stuff like HAML and Bootstrap and Select2, etc.
It's an ongoing process.
