Castle of the Winds in Elm

Castle of the Winds is a tile-based RPG made by Rick Saada in the late 80s. Many old school RPGers remember the game with fond memories and as such, this is my ~~first~~ ~~second~~ third attempt to port the game into the modern era to be playable on mobile and web browsers.

Running from source

First

Install Elm by itself or through node npm i -g elm

`andThen`

1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/mordrax/cotwelm/
2. Run: ./build.sh (it cleans elm-stuff and runs elm make src/make.elm dist/js/cotw.js)
3. Open: dist/index.html in your favourite browser (as long as it's Chrome)

Contributing

If you'd like to hack on it, the ./dev.sh script is nice to get auto refreshing of the browser. To do this you will need the http-server and browser-sync packages off npm as well. It should open up ports 5000 for elm reactor and 5008 for the html version with external semantic ui css.

I welcome suggestions for stats messages in the character creation screen!
