Tiny Fishing GitHub Guide

Understanding the Code

1. The Clones (Re-written from scratch)

The most common finds are "inspired by" clones. Developers rebuild the mechanics using vanilla JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, or Phaser (a game framework). These repos usually have names like tiny-fishing-clone, micro-fishing, or deep-fisher.

Typical file structure:

tiny-fishing-clone/
├── index.html
├── style.css
├── script.js
├── assets/
│   ├── fish1.png
│   ├── background.png
│   └── hook.png
└── README.md

Quality varies:

  • High quality: Smooth easing functions for the bobber, realistic drag resistance, and a shop menu.
  • Low quality: JPEGs of fish copied from Google Images and broken click logic.

5. Hidden Gem Feature

Some repos include an auto-fishing bot (a small script that automates clicking). This turns the game into a passive collector – a fun ethical debate in game dev communities.

Contributing Guidelines

  1. Create a New Branch: Create a new branch for your changes using the command git branch <branch-name>.
  2. Make Changes: Make your changes to the code.
  3. Commit Changes: Commit your changes using the command git commit -m "<commit-message>".
  4. Push Changes: Push your changes to the remote repository using the command git push origin <branch-name>.
  5. Create a Pull Request: Create a pull request to merge your branch with the main branch.

7. Legal & Ethical Considerations

  • The original Tiny Fishing is copyrighted by MarketJS (or similar publishers).
  • Open-source clones are legal if they:
    • Use original code/assets (not ripped from the official game).
    • Do not use the exact trademarked name for commercial purposes.
  • Most GitHub projects state: “For educational use only”.

✅ Safe to learn from and modify for personal use.
❌ Not safe to monetize or claim as your own original game. tiny fishing github

Abstract

We present Tiny Fishing, an open-source, minimal web platform hosted on GitHub designed to support recreational anglers with lightweight trip logging, catch tracking, and local regulations lookup while prioritizing user privacy and low-resource devices. The project emphasizes simplicity, offline-first behavior, and extensibility for hobbyist contributors.

2. Goals and design principles

  • Minimal UI: uncluttered forms for trip/catch entry.
  • Privacy-first: local storage by default; optional GitHub-hosted sync as encrypted gists or user-controlled repo.
  • Offline-first: service worker for offline use and sync queue.
  • Tiny footprint: under 200 KB compressed assets.
  • Extensible: modular code, clear CONTRIBUTING.md, permissive license (MIT).

The Core Mechanics (JavaScript Pseudocode)

// 1. The Cast
canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', () => 
    isCasting = true;
    lineDepth = 0;
    fishCaught = [];
);

// 2. The Sink (Physics)
function updateLine() 
if(isCasting && lineDepth < maxDepth) 
lineDepth += 1; // sink speed
checkForFishCollision(lineDepth);

// 3. The Reel (Mouse Drag)
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => 
if(isReeling) 
lineDepth -= dragSpeed; // pull fish up
if(lineDepth <= 0)  catchFish();
);


// 4. The Shop
let upgrades = 
hookStrength: 1,
snorkelDepth: 50
; Quality varies:


function buyUpgrade(item) 
gold -= prices[item];
upgrades[item] += 10;
