Runs in the browser and exports 6 stand-alone HTML games. 7 8 The entire thing is contained in the hiss.html file. 9 10 Try it out here: 11 12 <a href="http://ratfactor.com/hiss/hiss.html">ratfactor.com/hiss/hiss.html</a> 13 14 ## Work in Progress 15 16 <a href="http://ratfactor.com/hiss/log">See the devlog.</a> 17 18 19 ## Hiss Editor license to be determined 20 21 People's opinions about licenses have gotten weirdly polarized lately and I 22 find some of the motivation to be somewhat bizarre. The editor will have some 23 sort of open-source license, but it will probably be copyleft. 24 25 **The games you make with Hiss are 100% yours.** You own all rights to your 26 game content. The exported player and all code are yours to keep, trade, or 27 sell as you see fit. I might make the game player code public domain (or a 28 permissive license like MIT or BSD) to make it clear that you can do anything 29 you'd like with your exported games. 30 31 The Hiss runtime game format is a *very* simple JavaScript data structure so 32 you can always write your own player in the future. The editor game format is 33 an even simpler structured text document. So everything you make in Hiss is 34 easy to preserve for the future. For maximum future-proofing, I encourage you 35 to keep a copy of the Hiss editor itself with your game files. Hiss will always 36 be free to use.
