Please send any contributions in a pull request against the devel branch. We will try our best to respond as quickly as we can. We would appreciate if you could test that your contribution works and if you could use a feature branch.

Since the master branch is automatically deployed to https://deadlockempire.github.io, we update it less frequently than devel.

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

We thank the numerous organizers, sponsors, judges and hackers of HackCambridge 2016 for the opportunity to develop this idea and for their support.

We use jQuery for manipulating the DOM and for animations. The design is implemented using vanilla Bootstrap. The tutorial challenge uses Intro.js to familiarize the player with the controls. Keyboard shortcuts are implemented using Mousetrap.

The game uses the Amatic SC font published by Vernon Adams published on Google Fonts.

The logo is a combination of the dragon from the Welsh flag and a lock icon, both from Wikimedia Commons.
