** Instructions
*** Requirements
- =python3=
- server space
- subdomain pointing to your site root on the server
- =rclone= with your server set up as a remote
*** Setup
- Download and create the initial files by running:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
  git clone https://git.praze.net/tre/tcg.git
  cd tcg
  cp log-template.py log.py
  cp variables-template.py variables.py
#+END_SRC
- Edit =variables.py= to set the variables as follows:
  - =servername=: name set for your remote in =rclone=
  - =serverpath=: path to the site root on the server (with leading slash, without trailing slash)
  - =name=: the name you use in the game
  - =highpriority=: a list of high priority decks you’re collecting
  - =mediumpriority=: a list of other decks you’re collecting
  - =tradepost=: URL of your trade post on Dreamwidth
  - =faves=: a list of cards to showcase on the index page
  - =headerbackground=: an HTML colour to display behind your header image and set as a theme colour
  - =british=: True if you want “grey” to display on the site, False if you want “gray”
  - =collectthreshold=: minimum number of owned cards for putting a deck in the “collecting” category
  - =keepsig=: True if you always want to keep one copy of your signature, False if you want to make them all available for trading
  - =tradestatement=: statement to place on your trading page
- Run the following:
  #+BEGIN_SRC bash
    python3 setup.py
    chmod +x build.sh
#+END_SRC
- Save a header image to =build/assets/header.png=
- Save each stage of a filled sketchpad to =build/assets/sketch/=, as =00.gif=, =01.gif=, etc.
- Add level images manually to =build/assets/levels/=
- Add custom CSS to =build/user.css=
*** Updating and building
- For each transaction, add a dictionary ={}= to the =log= list like in the example (removing any of ="received"=, ="lost"=, ="crayons"= that aren’t relevant).
- Run =./build.sh= in this directory to download the relevant card images and then upload everything to the server.
