Development

Install the dependencies...

cd curse-notice
npm install

...then start Rollup:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:5000. You should see your app running. Edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.

Embedding the font in the svg

If the font isn't embedded in the svg, it won't appear in the generated png. So, to embed it:

Run base64 -w 0 src/PixelEmulator-xq08.ttf > src/pixel-emulator-ttf.base64
Paste the contents of src/pixel-emulator-ttf.base64 into the src attribute of the @font-face inside the <style> tag in the svg in index.html after the data:application/font-truetype;base64, part of the line.

Embedding the images in the svg

If the images aren't embedded in the svg, they won't appear in the generated png. So, to embed them:

Run make encode-images.
Paste the contents of the images you want in src/images-b64 into the href attribute of the <image> tags inside the svg in index.html.

Building and running in production mode

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build

You can run the newly built app with npm run start. This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's dependencies so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku.
