Setting up for development on Spirit of Kiro

Setup Local Development Environment

First, you need to launch a local copy of the game client and server, connected to an AWS account. This way, when you use Kiro to modify the codebase, you can make sure that your changes actually work.

Game guide

Here are some basic things to try in the game:

• WASD to move around, E to interact
• Pull random items using the red "PULL" lever
• Pick up items and carry them around with E. Throw a held item with T. Hint: Items can be thrown out the door at the bottom.
• Carry an item to the workbench and use E to put it on the workbench. Drag items around to move them up to the tool wall on the back, or down to the working area at the bottom. Click an item on the tool wall to cast one of it's "quirks", then select one or more targets for the "quirk". Both the tool and the targets will transform based on the quirk. Get creative with this, there are near infinite possibilities, and you can make some truly bizarre things.
• If you are smashing items or otherwise cutting or breaking them into pieces, and there are a lot of items in the working area of the workbench they will overflow and fall off onto the ground around the workbench. Try not to let the ground get too messy!
• The chest is for storage when you have too many items.
• When an item is thrown out the door at the bottom of the shop keeper will judge it and you'll get money for it. He likes items that are fun, unusual, in good condition, or that seem like rare collectables.
• The computer shows items that have been discarded or given to the appraiser, both by yourself and by other players. This serves as a randomized “shop” where you can indirectly buy from other players, or buy back things you lost.
