// Nothing crazy but simple way I'll do a DEV_MODE for debugging purposes.
// Building a game from one of my students projects called Zork so I threw this in there.
// Way better and more effective ways to do this but it serves its purpose.
// More rigorous checks and protection would be needed if dev'ed further or handed out to others.

// --- START DEV DEBUGGING ---
let DEV_MODE = false
if (process.argv.find((arg) => arg === '--dev_mode' || arg === '-d')) DEV_MODE = true
// ---- END DEV DEBUGGING ----

// Then do stuff like this. You'll find this is a lot of libs.
// Wrapped in an IFEE also to get the game going vs calling a fx.
// Common in games to have a do/while type of loop since games are loops, respectively.
// I've rarely use while loops across my career so this is a less likely thing you'll see in my code.
