Building from Source

First make sure you have git and npm available as command-line utilities (so you should install Git and NodeJS if you don't have them already).

Open a command line interface in the directory that contains this README file, and use the following command to install the project's other dependencies locally:

npm clean-install

Then finally, run the following command in the command line interface to start a browser running the project.

npm start

Deploying a new version to Github Pages

Before deploying, check that the game compiles and starts up without errors. Then run:
