To run locally and develop

Prerequisite: Node.js installed

• clone this repo, cd into it
• install yarn if you don't have it. npm install -g yarn
• run yarn
• in one terminal yarn webpack -w. This will keep the game built as you edit it
• in another terminal yarn app. This will start the game up.
• visit http://localhost:3377 to play the game
• edit any *.ts file in the src/ dir to change the game

Writing a bot

For now, just take a look at any of the existing ones (e.g. src/ai/green-ai.ts) and edit that. If you make a good one, I can add it to the game.

Also, during a game if you hit the letter g on your keyboard (for God mode), it will show you a rough prediction of where the ball(s) will go, highlighting the likely places they will hit the ground or enter a player's jump range.
