about

Tidepool is a simplified template that contains everything you need to make a game using Squids.js

how to use

• use the template button above to clone this repo into your own repo
• clone the repo locally
• run npm install
• I recommend using a PHP server or a Node server to serve the files locally. I use php -S localhost:3000
• visit squids.sleepless.com for more information on how to use the squids engine

distribution

Tidepool is setup to publish to itch using butler.

• first go to itch and upload a new project
• name your project and get the projects id from the Project URL field
  • for example https://zafuzi.itch.io/tidepool, in this case we just want tidepool
  • set the kind of project to HTML
  • make sure to click save and view page at the bottom to make your project visible to butler
    • you can set the project to draft to keep others from viewing your project.

UNIX ONLY AUTOMATION

• Edit deploy.sh and change username to your itch username and gameName to your games unique id from above
• run ./deploy.sh -p the -p flag will attempt to upload to butler
  • optionally use ./deploy.sh -c -p the -c will clean your local dist folder before generating the new package
