How to play with code? #580

Closed keybounce closed 6 years ago

keybounce commented 7 years ago

I'd like to know how to play around with the code here.

I'm used to server-side code/scripts, where each new request that comes in gets the latest updates when playing/debugging.

Here? I tried a quick test. I cloned the repo, started my local copy, and changed the name of the fire level from "flickering" to "nearly out". Wrote the new file out.

But the old text is still changed. I thought that one of the big benefits of scripting over compiled code was "live edits" -- how do I get the browser to update the script files when they change? If it makes a difference, this is firefox.

Consider that there is the translation mechanism. So it could depend on where you made the change, if it's a matter of texts.

Close due to complete lack of user understanding

No need to be mean about it @gitupofftheflooranddosomework. Everyone starts somewhere.

But yeah, it's likely the localization system preventing your edits from appearing instantly.
