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.
