Installation and Updating

This project consists almost exclusively of static HTML/CSS/JavaScript files, but it needs to be build at least one time to work.

The build will update /generator/icons folder with content from:

• The game-icons project.
• Fonts from the gameicons-font project.
• And any .png or .svg files you have added to ./resources/custom-icons (you must build the project and refresh the page in the browser in order to use them).

To setup or update this project:

1. Checkout this GIT repository
2. Make sure you have Node.js installed. The Node installation usually bundles the npm command-line interface. We strongly recommend using a Node version manager like nvm to install Node.js and npm.
3. Open the Terminal (or Command Prompt for Windows)
4. Go to the repository folder
5. Run npm install

Support

I (the original author) am not maintaining the project anymore, and will not be responding to issues or reviewing PRs. However, I have given write access to a few collaborators that are maintaining the project. Please reach out to me if you want to be included as collaborator, or if you want to take ownership of this project.

FAQ

• What browsers are supported?
  • A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). The generator has some issues on IE.
• Cards are generated without icons and background colors, what's wrong?
  • Enable printing backround images in your browser print dialog
• The layout of the cards is broken (e.g., cards are placed outside the page), what's wrong?
  • Check your page size, card size, and cards/page settings. If you ask the generator to place 4x4 poker-sized cards on a A4 paper, they won't fit and they will overflow the page.
