From the README

A small desert platformer that runs inside Joshua Tree, a computer built from scratch.

The spring on the mesa has gone quiet and the town of Dry Creek is out of water. Wren takes Elder Pina's walking staff and climbs through a canyon, a cave and a salt flat to the Dust King, who is sitting on the spring.

The game is part of Joshua Tree: user/mirage_core.h is the world and the story, user/mirage.c draws it. This repo holds the landing and the web build. ./build.sh compiles those same files for the browser, and ./deploy.sh ships the page.
