What Hacker News says

8 sources
According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27585467 the repo is https://github.com/magwo/elevatorsaga but is also abandoned To answer your first question: https://github.com/magwo/elevatorsaga/blob/master/elevator.j... Be aware that it's just `eval(textarea.value)` so you can `console.log` or (presumably) `debugger;` in your code to inspect whatever you want. The developer tools likely will allow you to set breakpoints in the framework's code, too I was sad the `thing.on("some_event", () => { this. <-- isn't "thing"`, I had to `.bind(thing)` manually
In Elevator Saga: Elevator programming game
It uses the MIT license, and the git repo is here: https://github.com/magwo/elevatorsaga along with some pull requests which might fix those problems. On the repo it says: "For developers/contributors: This project is not actively maintained. The repo is used to serve github pages so I would like to keep it as is. Feel free to fork and host your own versions of Elevator Saga! But I would like to keep the domain name with the original version of the game." I am sure someone on here has the chops to set up a clone of it.
