Project Setup

Create a new folder for the project and cd into it.

Every Elm project needs an elm-package.json file. This is similar to the node package.json file. It holds all meta information about the project. Copy and paste the following content:

{
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "summary": "A functional reactive implementation of Terry Cavanagh's game Hexagon in Elm",
    "repository": "https://github.com/sbaechler/polygon.git",
    "license": "All rights reserved",
    "source-directories": [
        "src",
        "lib/elm-audio/src"
    ],
    "exposed-modules": [],
    "native-modules": true,
    "dependencies": {
        "elm-lang/animation-frame": "1.0.0 <= v < 2.0.0",
        "elm-lang/core": "4.0.0 <= v < 5.0.0",
        "elm-lang/html": "1.0.0 <= v < 2.0.0",
        "elm-lang/window": "1.0.0 <= v < 2.0.0",
        "evancz/elm-graphics": "1.0.0 <= v < 2.0.0",
        "ohanhi/keyboard-extra": "1.0.1 <= v < 2.0.0"
    },
    "elm-version": "0.17.0 <= v < 0.18.0"
}

Create a folder src and in it the main file Hexagon.elm. Create another folder lib for later use.

Run the command elm-package install to install the dependencies. Run the server with elm-reactor.
