Tiles and screenshots were abstract shapes. Each is now a small scene for
its genre, with several layouts per genre steered by the game's tags, so
no two games look alike. The screenshot script pins the browser's date so
the Game of the Day doesn't change between runs.
The README's screenshots showed real games whose authors never agreed to
be featured. scripts/demo/build-demo-data.mjs builds a Flashpoint install
of invented games with generated art, plus Pixel Penguin Panic, a small
HTML5 game written for it. scripts/demo/take-screenshots.mjs retakes the
screenshots from an app running on it.
mirror/github-mirror.sh publishes main and its tags to a read-only
GitHub mirror, adding a notice under the README title, with a systemd
timer to run it hourly. A GitHub Actions workflow builds the images on
the mirror and pushes them to ghcr.io. The docs point prebuilt images
there, and CONTRIBUTING no longer invites issues and pull requests.
upstream-status.sh now fetches without tags, so upstream's version tags
stay out of local clones.
Adds scripts/upstream-status.sh to report upstream flashpoint-web changes
since the last merge, docs/08-development/upstream-sync.md describing the
merge process, and .dejima.md for agents working in dejima.
--seed-ratio and --seed-hours keep aria2c seeding after the download,
stopping at whichever limit comes first, before extraction starts; this
needs no extra disk. The README asks people to seed and explains
long-term seeding with --keep-archives. Re-running with --torrent once
extraction has begun no longer downloads the deleted archives again.
The script no longer carries download links: --torrent takes the
.torrent file from Flashpoint's downloads page, and --infinity the
Infinity archive. Before doing anything it works out the space the
download and extraction need, refuses to start without it, and asks
for confirmation unless --yes is given. It notes Flashpoint's unsettled
legal standing and the user's responsibility.
setup-flashpoint.sh downloads the Ultimate torrent with aria2c and
extracts each archive in turn, checking free space first and deleting
it afterwards unless --keep-archives is given. From Base_1.zip it takes
only the database, settings and playlists. --with-infinity adds
Infinity for Linux's software, which streaming needs, without replacing
anything. Re-running resumes where it stopped.
