Building a minified version of the Game

NOTE: Make sure you have node.js installed on your system: How to Install Node.js

NOTE: Make sure you have grunt installed on your system: Installing the CLI

We use grunt to create a minified version of the game. The dependencies and tasks are already defined in the Gruntfile.js file.

Build the minified version

1. Open a command shell (e. g. powershell on Windows) or console/terminal MacOS X/Linux.

2. Change directory into the game repository. For example:

   ~$ cd GGJ2016
   

3. Run the grunt command:

   GGJ2016 ~$ grunt
   

4. A new folder build will be created, which contains the complete minified game.

The grunt command will recognize the Gruntfile.js, download the dependencies defined in package.json, and run all tasks in the Gruntfile.js. The dependencies will be stored in node_modules which will be automatically created the first time the grunt command is executed.
