# Slay the Web
A single player deck-building roguelike video card game for the web based on Slay The Spire,
a fantastic video game designed by [MegaCrit](https://www.megacrit.com/).
### [Play on slaytheweb.cards](https://slaytheweb.cards/)
### [Chat on #slaytheweb:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#slaytheweb:matrix.org)
## Background
After many runs in the Spire, I got into the theory behind the game. Inspired by the STS modding community, I thought it'd be fun and a great learning experience to try and implement the core logic of the game in JavaScript for the web. And that is what _Slay the Web_ is: a kind of stable, UI agnostic game engine with an example UI for the web.
## Updates
See the CHANGELOG.md file.
## Development
TLDR;
1. Clone the repository
2. Run `npm install` followed by `npm run dev` to open a local development server.
## Documentation
If you're interested in contributing to the game or merely curious how it works:
- [The documentation](DOCUMENTATION.md)
Or browse the code. Especially the game logic includes tons of comments.
See the [open issues](https://github.com/oskarrough/slaytheweb/issues).
Have an idea? Please [open a new issue](https://github.com/oskarrough/slaytheweb/issues/new).
There are many areas that would make it more fun to play:
- new cards
- new powers
- more monsters
- expand the map into multiple "worlds" (or acts...)
- better UI and animations
- optimize UI for mobile
## How to release a new version (aka deploy)
Every commit to the `main` branch automatically deploys to https://slaytheweb.cards via the Vercel service.
If you open a PR, it'll give you a preview URL where we can see if things are as expected.
To update the `CHANGELOG.md`, run `bun run release` and follow the prompts. We do not use GitHub releases.
