Fly through space, collect presents floating in the vaccum, avoid the Grinch Monsters, and reach planet Earth to deliver presents in time for Christmas.

Requirements

We need Node.js to install and run scripts.

Install and run

Run next commands in your terminal:

Command	Description
npm install	Install dependencies.
npm test	Lint the source code and run all automated tests.
npm run build	One-off build of the game.
npm run watch	Continuously build the game during development.
npm start	Build bundle and run game on localhost:8080. Press Ctrl + c to kill http-server process.

Browse to http://localhost:8080 to play the game.

Deploy to Firebase

npm install -g firebase-tools
firebase login
firebase use --add [name of your Firebase app]
firebase deploy --only hosting

Test localhost on a touch device

• Check your local IP on your network (it should start with 192.168.).
• Put your touch device on the same network as your development machine (same Wifi for eample).
• Add the port :8080 to the IP.
• You should now be able to test the game running on your machine with your touch device.

Switch the debug mode on or off

By default, debug mode is off. To switch it on, run in Javascript console of your browser:

localStorage['debug'] = true;
