Backbone.babysitter error running Famo.us Asteroids game example

Question

Anyone know why I'm getting these errors in Chrome console, when running this sample Astroids game (written with www.Famo.us): https://github.com/zgardner/famoids

I did the usual npm install && bower install and grunt serve. I have npm and bower already installed. Checked the app/lib folder, it shows the files Chrome says it can't find.

Uncaught Error: Script error for: backbone.babysitter

Bower is using the latest babysitter and wreqr and the paths have been updated since the code for famoids was last updated.

Go to app/src/requireConfig.js and change these two paths from:

'backbone.wreqr': '../lib/backbone.wreqr/lib/amd/backbone.wreqr',
'backbone.babysitter': '../lib/backbone.babysitter/lib/amd/backbone.babysitter',

to:

'backbone.wreqr': '../lib/backbone.wreqr/lib/backbone.wreqr',
'backbone.babysitter': '../lib/backbone.babysitter/lib/backbone.babysitter',

OK, got it, will try this out. Good reason to force versions on dependencies -) – Giant Elk Jul 30 '14 at 17:59
Yeah better to limit the version. How did it go? – Dominic Jul 30 '14 at 19:29
