Ok keeping track of what I do to get puzzlescript building on windows.

1 - sync to github repo
2 - try opening the folder in vs code
3 - realize that the build scripts rely on the folder being called src and there being a parallel bin directory
*4 - move everything to a src directory in the github structure (probably breaking things on mac)
*5 - edited the ..gitignore file to take this into account
6 - try to run the non-compiled version (src/editor.html). Oh I can just run it in edge. Also chrome. Also firefox. (Much easier than on mac, where you need a http server).


what external tools does my bash script need?

images/minimize needs pngcrush
https://www.npmjs.com/package/pngcrush

css/concat uses concat
https://www.npmjs.com/package/concat

closure.jar
https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-closure-compiler

yuicompressor-2.4.8.jar
https://www.npmjs.com/package/ycssmin

htmlcompressor-1.5.3.jar
https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-minifier-terser

gzipper needs perl, lol
gzipper
https://www.npmjs.com/package/tar

inliner
https://www.npmjs.com/package/inliner

directory cp = ncp

7 - install npm packages I'll probably need: 
npm i tar  html-minifier-terser ycssmin  google-closure-compiler concat  imagemin imagemin-pngcrush inliner ncp
