Typescript build process failing

[martindevans]

@datkinson encountered problems with the TS build process failing (something about it attempting to overwrite a file?).

• [x] Fix TS build
• [x] Port contents of PR #27 into TS folder
• [x] Bounce back new PR to @datkinson

Its fine if you only use the js folder or only use the typings, not both. they conflict if they have the same name

So having:

• src/js/test.js
• typings/test/test.d.ts

causes some kind of conflict? :S

[datkinson]

I had src/js/utility.js and typings/utility.ts

both tried to write to the same file

Ah, that makes sense, but it's a misuse of the system (which is fair enough since I've told you nothing about it at all!). Here's some pointers:

• You shouldn't edit anything in typings by hand, install the tsd package manager to pull down type definitions for a load of popular projects. In case you're not aware typings aren't actually code, instead they define types for other projects - e.g. jQuery is not written in typescript so it doesn't have types, but if you pull down the type definitions for jQuery now ts understands the jQuery types and can statically verify your usage of jQuery.
• Type definitions should be .d.ts, not .ts - I guess that's probably just a typo
• I'm going to modify the ts build process to build everything into one single file (say lcars-scripts.js). JS files currently do not concat into that, so the only way a collision will be possible after will be to have a file called 'src/js/lcars-scripts.js'.
