This is a very minimal wrapping of the live (as of writing) free-online web hosting of the game Sky Dragon Story from http://www.psychsoftware.org/SDS/ .

The game itself is under 7MB.  The remainder of the bulk of this package is wrapping.

The game is wrapped in a Chromium-browser-based platform called Electron using a tool called Electron Forge and the whole thing is basically held together with baling wire, but it gets the job done.  The only real REASON to wrap the game into an Electron app is in case web standards ever pull the rug out from under the live version with regards to "Application Programming Interfaces" (APIs) it relies upon.  But this means that basically an entire white-label variant of Google Chrome is packed in, along with various other tooling to be sure YOUR machine has all the functionality that was implicit in a modern web browser circa 2022.

It also means the whole thing is entirely unbranded and unregulated and you're likely to see some warnings when running or installing it.

The only way to do this "more professionally"- so that the OS won't complain that it doesn't know the developer- would be for me to sign up for a verified developer account with the OS manufacturer (Microsoft, Apple, Google, take your pick) and pay an annual fee to keep my development certificates up to date, possibly needing to create and distribute new versions of the app with these new certificates even if nothing else changes, in perpetuity, all for a game that is not, in its present form, set to make me any money whatsoever.

So I'm not going to do that.

If you are concerned, by all means throw your virus scanner of choice at all files involved.  If that's still too scary to trust, then just play on the website.  I plan to keep paying for that for awhile.
