I actually added a JS audio engine to play sound effects, ambience, etc. and it made it into the official browser version of the game.

Newbie to programming, was checking out the github repo for A Dark Room and have a question with likely a painfully obvious answer.

Looking at the files, one of the first files is a browserwarning.html. My question is: in what section of the game's coding is the browser even checked and that page spun out as a result? My suspicion is that it's a Javascript function, but skimming through the scripts I don't see anything that looks like a browser check.

#6 - OpenTTD - Transport Tycoon Deluxe... with multiplayer.... it has the most Win98 Interface, but once you get past that... this is the best and most amazing free sim tycoon game you will ever find.
