How to use

How it works

How to run locally

I highly recommend using Visual Studio Code and the extension "Live Server". Start it via "Go Live" and open "http://localhost:5500/app-dev.html" to see the result.

If that does not work, you may also once do sudo apt install esbuild, then run npm start and click the link and open app-dev.html.

A temporary http server is only needed because import statements are not allowed in file:// protocol.

My tools

• Browser + DevTools for testing and debugging
• code-server for development on any device
• Live Server for developer preview
• lui for GUI
• Minecraft-Font
• Closure Compiler for packing JS
• bun for packing CSS
• GitHub Actions for automatic building
• jsDelivr for distribution
• GitHub Copilot sometimes
• GitHub for everything else

License

Just ZLib license, I do not care too much about it.

Heavily inspired by and somewhat based on the work of @xNotch.

This game uses slightly modified surface artwork from Minecraft, which is of course owned by Microsoft. Since this is a purely educational project, I deem this fair use.
