Cryptris is a game designed to help people in getting a grasp about how cryptography works, by playing an arguably tetris-like game.
The game was developped by Digital Cuisine for Inria and is based on a concept created by Léo Ducas.
This game uses html, css and javascript. No server were harmed during the development process.
The whole application is designed to be a serverless application, hence the installation is pretty straightforward: simply clone this repository or download it as an archive.
To launch the game, simply open the index.html file in a compatible web browser.
Changin the app's url is just a matter of changing the url that social networks will use to fetch data about Cryptris (title, descriptions, picture previews…). Unfortunately, due to the serverless nature of this project, a few occurences of this url had to be hard-coded in the html files' meta tags. A global configuration variable is used everywhere else where the app's url is needed, this variable can be found in the js/cryptris-settings.js file.
Before publishing the game, make sure that you proceed to the following:
- open up
js/cryptris-settings.js. - look for the line where
cryptrisSettings.appUrlis defined. - copy
appUrl's actual value (e.g. http://inriamecsci.github.io/cryptris) - search and replace this url in the game's
.htmlfiles. - set
cryptrisSettings.appUrlto whatever your new url is. - upload to your new url and carefully test that every sharing function still works as expected.
Be sure to update the app settings for facebook (facebook apps) and google+ (google API console), as of may 2014, twitter doesn't ask for this.
To publish on github the only thing you need to do is to make sure that your gh-pages branch is up-to-date and push it to your github account. You should be able to access it via http://[username].github.io/cryptris where [username] should be replaced by your actual github username.
