Neuro-sama's Terminal Escape

This game is available on itch.io and is part of Neuro-sama Game Jam 2.

Running from a Packaged Executable

1. Download the zip archive for your operating system from the releases page
2. Extract the archive in a location of your choice
3. Locate the run_game.bat (Windows) or run_game.sh (Linux and macOS) script
4. There should be a config.json file in the same directory; it can be edited to change the port the server is running on
5. Double-click on the script to launch the game
   • If nothing happens, or the script is opened as a text file, try right-clicking it to see if there's an option to run it as a program
   • If this doesn't work either, the executable file can be run from a terminal by navigating to it using cd and running terminal-game-windows.exe (for Windows), ./terminal-game-linux (for Linux), or ./terminal-game-macos (for macOS)
6. Open localhost:3000 in your web browser
   • If you changed the server port in config.json, use that port instead of 3000
   • If you're confused about what page to open, look at the text being printed to the terminal. One of the first lines will look something like Game running at http://localhost:3000. Simply copy that URL into your web browser.

Running from Source

To run from source, you must have Node.js installed.

1. Run cd game
2. Run npm install to install the necessary dependencies
3. Run npm run start to start the game
4. Edit config.json to avoid port conflicts, if necessary
5. Open the game's web page (http://localhost:3000 by default)

If this program refuses to release port 3000, it can be terminated by running npx kill-port 3000. If you're using a different port, replace 3000 with that number.
