Source code is available to download (open with your favorite text editor or, if you wish to compile a copy for local use, Inky, Ink's dedicated IDE). You may tinker with the file and use it as you see fit for educational purposes, but may not republish any of it elsewhere without attribution. Devlogs containing step-by-step explanation of the source code and how the game was built will be published in near future.
