🎮 How to Play - Neon Vanguard: Sector Zero

✅ SIMPLE SOLUTION THAT WORKS (Recommended)

Double-click on: PLAY.bat

That's it! The file will:

  1. Start the server automatically
  2. Open the game in your browser
  3. The game is ready to play!

Important: Don't close the black window while you're playing.

🌐 Alternative Solution: Manually

If the .bat file doesn't work:

# 1. Open PowerShell in this folder
npm run dev

# 2. Open your browser at:
http://localhost:5173

♿ For NVDA (Screen Reader)

The game works with NVDA in the browser:

  1. Launch PLAY.bat
  2. The game opens in Chrome/Firefox
  3. Use Tab to navigate
  4. Enter/Space to activate buttons
  5. Combat events are announced

❓ Problems?

Port 5173 is already in use

# Find what's using the port
netstat -ano | findstr :5173

# Kill the process (replace PID)
taskkill /PID <number> /F

Browser doesn't open

Open manually: http://localhost:5173

Error "npm not found"

Make sure Node.js is installed: https://nodejs.org

🎯 Why Not the EXE?

The Electron application requires complex configuration.
This web solution is:

  • ✅ Simpler
  • ✅ Works for sure
  • ✅ Better NVDA compatibility
  • ✅ No build issues

Have fun! 🚀
