Taro engine will run games made using modd.io.

To run the game server, execute the following command:

npm run server --game=<gameID>

*if the gameID argument is not provided, then the engine will use game.json stored in root directory instead.

Your game's Game ID can be found in your modd.io's game's sandbox (example). Go to menu -> about.

Install Node 12 and then...

git clone https://github.com/moddio/taro.git
cd taro
npm install
npm run server --game=5a7fd59b1014dc000eeec3dd

Game client's user interface is rendered by /src/index.ejs file and the theme files in /src/templates/
