Development tips

Hot reload development flow

1. Open sbt and run ~buildGame
2. Spin up an http server with live reload. I use livereload. Launch this from the game source code folder:

livereload -p 9000 -t target/indigoBuild/scripts target/indigoBuild

3. Open a browser, go to http://localhost:9000, open console/inspector, disable network cache
4. Change some code, save files, check browser

Random notes

I use peek. Recording as .mp4 requires converting it later to .gif using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i naval_combat.mp4 -vf "fps=24,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop -1 naval_combat.gif
