presskittie()

presskittie() is presskit() by Rami Ismail, but with some conveniences:

• run and develop it locally with docker
• deploy it to Github Pages as a static site

Why?

presskit() contains a PHP file, but not everyone is set up to host PHP on their websites.

The PHP file basically downloads this bundle, which consists of more PHP files, then does a bunch of setup, but we've done all that for you. All you need to do is clone this repo, run it with Docker, customise the kit, then publish.

A few easy steps to presskit bliss

Run

• Download Docker
• Fork/Clone this repo
• Run it with docker-compose up
• View it in your browser at http://localhost:8080

Customise

This happens in two parts:

• your studio
• your game(s)

To customise your studio presskit, modify the code/data.xml and put new images, logo and header in code/images. Have at least 3 screenshots.

To customise your game presskit, rename code/games/a_fake_game to your game's name, e.g. if your game is called Captain Kittie And The Peacekeepers, then rename that folder to code/games/captain_kittie_and_the_peacekeepers.

Then modify the code/games/a_fake_game/data.xml and put new images, logo and header in code/games/a_fake_game/images. Have at least 3 screenshots.

Reload the browser to see the changes.

Take care to prepend all websites with https:// in the various data.xml files.

Publish

You can now let Github Actions generate a static version of the dynamic PHP stuff, and preview it via Github Pages before putting it on your own website.

Firstly, on your new repo, create an access token:

• Generate an access token in the developer settings menu of GitHub with the correct permission scope, you can name it whatever identifies the purpose of the token.
• Copy the key it generates
• Go to your repository you're running the workflow from, open Settings and go to the Secrets menu
• Click Add new repository secret
• Name your secret ACCESS_TOKEN.
• Paste the key you generated from the workflow. You should see something like this:

Now commit and push the code, and the static site will be pushed to a new branch called gh-pages. You might need to go to your repo's Settings then Pages and activate it there.
