TADC VN 1ST DAY - Web Port

This is an Unofficial Web Port of the free Ren'Py game TADC VN 1ST DAY (aka The Amazing Digital Circus Visual Novel Fangame) (1.0) by allhailthequeenuwu. This port allows the game to be played directly in a web browser without needing any downloads/installations.

How to play

There are 2 methods:

Github Pages

Go to https://nick088official.github.io/TADC-VN-1ST-DAY-Web-Port/renpy/

Local Server

1. Click Code -> Download ZIP -> Extract the Zip.
2. Get Python installed and added to your system's PATH.
3. Open a CMD/Terminal inside the renpy project folder (I manually renamed the folder for a shorter url for github pages and to not confuse with the README.md file).
4. Run the following command to start a simple web server:

   python -m http.server

5. Open your web browser and go to the following address: http://localhost:8000/

How did you make it?

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for building a web version of the game.

Prerequisites

1. Get the Game Files: Download the original game from the creator's itch.io page and extract the files.
2. Ren'Py: Having Ren'Py installed, I used version 8.4.1 specifically.
3. Python (for running): Having Python installed and added to your system's PATH, to run the local web server.

Part A: Ren'Py Build Web Version

1. Open Ren'Py -> Preferences -> General -> Select a Projects Directory.
2. Put the Game Files inside your Projects Directory, then refresh projects.
3. Select the Game project, then click Web, and Build Web Application.
4. Inside your Projects Directory, you will have another project folder with the same name but with "-dists" at the end, and inside of it, a folder with the same name but with "-web" at the end.

Part B: Running the Game Locally

You need to run them using a local web server. Simply opening the index.html file directly will not work due to browser security restrictions.

1. Open a CMD/Terminal inside the "-web" project folder.
2. Run the following command to start a simple web server:

   python -m http.server

3 Open your web browser and go to the following address: http://localhost:8000/

The game should now start and be fully playable.

Part C: Bypass Jekyll GitHub Pages for Underscore Files (Optional)

This is only for people who are going to use GitHub Pages, which automatically uses Jekyll to build static blog websites. The issue is that Jekyll ignores files that start with '_', which some of the game assets do, so we will not use Jekyll.

1. In the root project folder, add an emtpy file named .nojekyll.

Why did you make it?

For pure educational purposes, fun, and to make this game accessible on more platforms.
