Knights Dreams (yes I know the title is dumb, I just couldn't come up with a better title that was short enough to fit the space I had reserved for it) is a tiny arcade endless runner action game that was made for js13k competition (2023). You can play it here: https://js13kgames.com/entries/knight-dreams (I'm guessing the url, it might be incorrect, in that case look for the game manually).

The code is bad. Like, really bad in some places. This was, however, intentional (well, there is also unintentional spaghetti, but let's ignore it for now), since I needed to find ways to save bytes, so I applied some... questionable programming practices. So, whatever you are going to do this with this code, please don't take any inspiration...

Typescript installation is mandatory. If you just want to make changes to the code, running tsc on the root is sufficient. If you want to make a zipped and "optimized" package that should fit 13kB (provided that you have up-to-date versions of all the tools), you need the following tools:

• Closure compiler
• advzip

Let us assume that you have the Closure compiler's jar file in the root and you have renamed it to closure.jar. Then you can run CLOSURE_PATH=closure.jar make dist. This should compile the Typescript, optimized the Javascript, embed the output script file to an index file and finally pack everything to a single zip file, of which size is then reduced using advzip. Note that for some reason this might fail the first time you run the command, so try running it twice.

The game has "I made my own license and saved money v. 0.1" license, which states the following:

SOURCE CODE (includes .ts, .html, .json and makefile files):

+ You are allowed to:
> Use the source code in your own personal, non-commercial projects. Giving credit to the original author of the code is not mandatory, but is recommended.
> Modify the source code in any way you want, and share the modified code. Again, giving credit to the original author is optional.

- You may not:
> Use the source code in a commercial product of any kind. This includes applications that cannot be accessed without a payment, but also applications that show ads when the application is running (for example, mobile games with ads). 
> Use the source code to train an AI. Not for any particular reason, I just want to see if the AI people actually read the source code licenses - or care about them.


ASSETS (includes .png files):

+ You are allowed to:
> Use the asset files in your own non-commercial projects, but in this case you have to give a credit to the original author.
> Modify the asset files as you like. If the modified assets are no longer recognizable (that is, they are heavily modified), then there is not need to give a credit to the original author.

- You are not allowed to:
> Do anything else with them, obviously.


BOTH:

- You may not:
> Do anything related to blockchains, NFTs or this weird term "web3" that seems to mean nothing at all.
