The game is 100% client side javascript and css. It should run when served up by any web server.
Any changes to the following files will be reflected immediately on refresh of the browser
- js/delta.js
- css/delta.css
- images/
- levels/
However, if you modify the js/game/ or js/vendor/ javascript files, the unified versions need to be regenerated:
js/vendor.js # the unified 3rd party vendor scripts (fpsmeter, state-machine, etc)
js/game.js # the unified general purpose game engine
If you have the Ruby language available, Rake tasks can be used to auto generate these unified files:
rake assets:create # re-create unified javascript/css asset files on demand
rake assets:server # run a simple rack server that automatically regenerates the unified files when the underlying source is modified
