1. Setup:

  • If you're on Windows, install GitBash with the default settings and use that for all the command line commands in the rest of this README
• Install typescript compiler: https://www.typescriptlang.org/#download-links
• Install vscode (recommended, not required): https://code.visualstudio.com/

2. Fork this repository.

3. Clone:

$ cd ~/repos/
$ git@github.com:YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME/game-starter.git
