## Description

This plugin lets you add the dinosaur game from Google Chrome onto your WordPress
site.

To use it, install the plugin, and use the [dinosaur-game] shortcode wherever you’d
like the game to appear.

### How to play

 * Jump to start a game.
 * The object of the game is to run as far as possible. Enemies and obstacles will
   try to block your path.
 * Use the space bar or up key on your keyboard to jump over them. The down key 
   lets you crouch. On mobile, tap on the game area to jump.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * A demo of the dinosaur game in a post.
 * [[
 * The dinosaur game works on all screen sizes.

## FAQ

### Can I change how the game looks?

Yes! The HTML markup of the game has classes that make it easy to apply CSS to them.
If you like playing with game files, you can also swap out the spritemap with your
own by editing the game-sprites-1x.png and game-sprites-2x.png files.

### Can I use this on a 404 page or another template file?

Yes! In fact, you can put this game anywhere on your site that you can put a shortcode.
Inside post/page content you can use [dinosaur-game]. In a PHP template file you
can use:

    ```
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[dinosaur-game]'); ?>
    ```

### I don’t see the game showing up. What should I do?

 * If you see the message “The dinosaur game can only be used once per page.” then
   that means the page is trying to show the shortcode more than once. Since the
   game binds to keys (up, down, and spacebar) it wouldn’t work well with multiple
   instances of the game on a single page. So this game only runs once per page 
   or post.
 * If you don’t see an error message, and the shortcode still isn’t working, check
   your PHP error log or turn on debug mode to see if another plugin or theme is
   interfering with this plugin.

The code is very well written and documented. I have been building a game based 
on this code by modifying the png sprint image.
