Change something

Edit the files in src/, then rebuild:

python3 build.py

Run it locally

The textures load from files, so serve the folder rather than double-clicking it:

python3 -m http.server 8000 --directory site

Add ?debug to the address to expose window.faroDebug (render timing and a ride simulator).

Publish a change

Commit and push to main. GitHub Actions publishes site/ within a minute or two.
