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

To update your Netscript Definitions, run npm run defs in a terminal
