Developed by Shaun A. Noordin

• Target audience: Casual gamers who celebrate Chinese New Year.
• Target devices: PCs and mobile devices - that means keyboard and touch screen compatibility.
• This is a web app built on HTML5, JavaScript and CSS.
• The source code is based on https://github.com/shaunanoordin/avo-adventure
• Developing the web app requires Node.js installed on your machine and a handy command line interface. (Bash, cmd.exe, etc)
• However, the compiled web app itself can be run simply by opening the index.html in a web browser. (Chrome, Firefox, etc)

Project anatomy:

• Source JS (ES6 JavaScript) and STYL (Stylus CSS) files are in the /src folder.
• Compiled JS and CSS files are in the /app folder.
• Media assets are meant to be placed in the /assets folder.
• Entry point is index.html.

Starting the project (locally):

1. Install the project dependencies by running npm install
2. Run npm start to start the server.
3. Open http://localhost:3000 on your browser to view the app.

Alternatively, there's a developer mode:

1. npm install
2. npm run dev
3. http://localhost:3000
4. Changes to the JS and STYL files will now be compiled automatically; i.e. Babel and Stylus now watch the files. Refreshing the browser window should should show the latest edits.
