Note
Please ignore the odd, rough things at the edges. I'm still figuring this git and github thing out...
Also, check FUTURE.md to know where this repo and project is going.
Building & installing
There are two ways to access the game: index.html and development.html. Open either in your browser. To get the changes in code reflected in index.html, there is 'minify.sh' script that will join the js files into one and run it through the yui compressor. You must edit the script by hand to point it to the .jar of yui compressor, which you can get here: https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/downloads
Do note, you have to access the files through a web server, because the JSON files under data (that hold the level definitions) are loaded dynamically at the start of the program. Also, to get the high score list to work, you have to set your own REST api up. look at the source code, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
And speaking of levels...
Only two, dull levels?
Yup. I didn't have time to create much in the way of "content" here. But take a look at those JSON files under /data, you can make your own level files quite easily. The order of the array in levels.json file is significant; it denotes the order of levels too. You can name the actual single level json files whatever you want and it won't make any difference.
What does 'spich-firish' mean?
I dunno lol. Spich came into my mind from out of nowhere, maybe from "spitfire". I guess. Only after creating the repo I googled that spich means "so weird that it can't even be described" according to onlineslangdictionary.com. I guess I can live with that, normalcy is usually dull anyways. :D
