How to use this template
Write all your typescript source code in the /src directory
Ensure you are using absolute paths to .js files in your imports or else the game will not recognize your import paths.
Example: use import {} from '/lib/helpers.js' instead of import {} from './lib/helpers'
To autocompile as you save, run npm run watch in a terminal
