### game.ini format
```
title=Game name
date=yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ
author=Author
description=Description of the game
license=Identifier of the license used in the game
```
Instead of typing the date and time for the `date` variable, you can use: https://www.utctime.net/
For the `license` variable, you need to use one of the identifiers defined here: https://spdx.org/licenses/
You can also add the following entry to reference a remote file. If you are linking to github, make sure it is the "Raw" version of the url and not the github details for the file. You can include extra files, but they wont appear anywhere and your Pull Request may not be accepted if the commit is too messy.
```
hex=http://url.to/your/own/server-with-the/game.hex
```
This file is parsed by php's [parse-ini-file](http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php) function, try to avoid trailing spaces.
### .url format
__TIP:__ You can drag from the left side of your browser's address bar to a folder to get the .url file of the current webpage
```
[InternetShortcut]
URL=https://url.to/the/website
```
A webhook updates the repository static json file after a commit automatically.
### Get your game.hex file
1. Open your code in Arduino IDE
2. Click `Sketch / Export compiled Binary`

__WARNING:__ Do not use the `with_bootloader.leonardo.hex` file. This file may brick your Arduboy. [Arduboy Uploader](https://github.com/eried/ArduboyUploader/releases/latest) will protect your Arduboy from this kind of issues, but if you manage to brick your device, check the following [instructions](https://community.arduboy.com/t/bring-your-arduboy-back-from-the-dead-burn-bootloader/3422)
