The index.php file specifies a version query string for each
resource which is likely to change. For example:
<script src="/js/sim.js?v0.8.2c"></script>
Each time the file is changed, we have incremented the version
number so that browsers and/or the CDN know to download the
file from the web site, rather than using a cached version.
This works because changing the version query string changes
the file name of the resource.
This commit introduces a new program (update-version-query-strings)
which parses index.php and sets each version query string to be
the MD5 hash of the corresponding resource. On the live web
server, this program is set to run for the following git hooks:
post-commit, post-checkout, post-merge, post-rewrite
This new system removes the need to manually update version query
strings. Instead, the version query strings will be automatically
updated when we update the live web site from now on.
Pokemon Showdown Client
This is a repository for some of the client code for Pokemon Showdown.
This is what runs play.pokemonshowdown.com.
WARNING: You probably want the Pokemon Showdown server.
Testing
You can make and test client changes simply by opening testclient.html.
It will ask for config data. Config data can be copied from:
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/action.php?act=upkeep
This will allow you to test changes to the client without setting up your own login server.
Certain things will fail:
Registering, changing name, the ladder tab, and the /ladder command
Everything else can be tested, though.
Setup
This repository is not "batteries included". It does NOT include everything necessary to run a full Pokemon Showdown client.
In particular, it doesn't include a login/authentication server, nor does it
include the database abstraction library used by the ladder library (although
it's similar enough to mysqli that you can use that with minimal changes).
It also doesn't include several resource files (namely, the /audio/ and
/sprites/ directories) for size reasons.
In other words, this repository is incomplete and NOT intended for people who wish to serve their own Pokemon Showdown client (you can, but it'll require you to rewrite some things). Rather, it's intended for people who wish to contribute and submit pull requests to Pokemon Showdown's client.
License
Pokemon Showdown's client is distributed under the terms of the AGPLv3.
WARNING: This is NOT the same license as Pokemon Showdown's server.
