# Tickwerk

A tick based combat system for [Foundry Virtual Tabletop].

This module adjusts the combat to use ticks instead of rounds for tracking time.
It has special integration with the [Dungeonslayers 4] system, based on the
fanwork “[Tickwerk]”, but is also be adaptable to other systems.

## Installation

To install and use the Tickwerk module for Foundry Virtual Tabletop,
find it in the list in the **Install Module** dialog on the Setup menu of the
application. Alternatively, paste the following Manifest URL in that dialog:

https://git.f3l.de/api/v4/projects/dungeonslayers%2Ftickwerk/packages/generic/tickwerk/latest/module.json

## Development

### Prerequisites

In order to build this module, recent versions of `node` and `yarn` are
required. Most likely using `npm` also works but only `yarn` is officially
supported. We recommend using the latest lts version of `node`. If you use `nvm`
to manage your `node` versions, you can simply run

```
nvm install
```

in the project's root directory.

You also need to install the project's dependencies. To do so, run

```
yarn install
```

### Building

You can build the project by running

```
yarn build
```

Alternatively, you can run

```
yarn watch
```

to watch for changes and automatically build as necessary.

### Linking the built package to Foundry VTT

In order to provide a fluent development experience, it is recommended to link
the built package to your local Foundry VTT installation's data folder. In order
to do so, first add a file called `foundryconfig.json` to the project root with
the following content:

```
{
  "dataPath": "<path to your home directory>/.local/share/FoundryVTT"
}
```

On platforms other than Linux you need to adjust the path accordingly.

Then run

```
yarn link-package
```

### Running the tests

You can run the tests with the following command:

```
yarn test
```
