Artwork

The artwork used in Lunacy is not available under an open source or free software license. You can mail the author for a zipfile that you can then extract to the visuals/ directory for testing.

Developing the gameplay

1. Start a web server that hosts the Lunacy folder, for example using Mongoose in Windows.
2. Go to the test page using Chrome. The URL is localhost:8080/html/index.inmem.html if you use Mongoose.

Installing the extension

1. In Chrome, visit chrome://extensions.
2. Make sure Developer mode is enabled in the upper right corner.
3. Click the Load unpacked extension… button.
4. Select the lunacy folder that you have synced using GitHub or git.

You can now launch the new Lunacy in the same way as you launch the old Lunacy. Note that they have the same icon.

To load updated code, press ctrl+R (or any other key combination you use for reloading) while Lunacy is running.

Making a new Chrome release

1. Update the version number in manifest.json.
2. Run v=VERSION tools/release.sh, where VERSION is the same number as in manifest.json.
3. Upload dist/VERSION.zip to the Chrome Web Store.
