  19     <p>
  20       WEBCART1000 lets you make and play games that share the same
  21       save files across several websites. It's inspired
  22       by <a href="http://sharecart1000.com/">SHARECART10000</a>, which
  23       did the same thing for non-web games.
  24     </p>
  25     <h2>Some Games Using It</h2>
  26     <p>
  27       coming soon.
  28     </p>
  29     <h2>How do I use it?</h2>
  30     <p>
  31       If you're making a web-based game, just
  32       download <a href="webcart1000.js">webcart1000.js</a> and include
  33       it via a &lt;script&gt; tag in your own game. It's
  34       self-contained and sets up all its own listeners.
  35     </p>
  36     <p>
  37       Once you're including it, you can access the save data with
  38       <code>webcart1000.data.Whatever</code>
  39       - <code>MapY</code>, <code>Switch2</code>, or any of
  40       the <a href="http://sharecart1000.com/img/SHARECART1000guide.png">SHARECART1000</a>
  41       keys, with the same restrictions. (It may take a few seconds
  42       after the page is done loading to load the save data.)
  43     </p>
  44     <p>
  45       To save and synchronize the data,
  46       use <code>webcart10000.update()</code>. You can also pass an
  47       object of changes, e.g.
  48       <code>webcart1000.update({ MapX: 12, MapY: 13, Switch0: false
  49       })</code>.  Running <code>update()</code> will also scrub the
  50       data so if you put any non-standard keys or values in it,
  51       they'll be deleted.
  52     </p>
  53     <p>
  54       If someone's playing two WEBCART1000 games at the same time, the
  55       save data is updated in real-time!
  56     </p>
  57     <h2>Is it safe? Is it private?</h2>
  58     <p>
  59       Yes.
  60     </p>
  61     <h3>For Players</h3>
  62     <p>
  63       There's no cookies. There's no server-mediated
  64       messages. Everything WEBCART1000, aside from loading its own
  65       static JavaScript, stays on your computer.
  66       It's as safe and private as the game would be otherwise.
  67     </p>
  68     <p>
  69       Loading the game leaves at most a default web server log entry -
  70       which you've already triggered just by reading this page. Since
  71       no data is collected, we don't even have to make a promise we
  72       won't share it with anyone - but if we do accidentally collect
  73       some, we won't, and we'll just delete it.
  74     </p>
  75     <h3>For Developers</h3>
  76     <p>
  77       The provided WEBCART1000 scripts take pains to scrub and
  78       normalize the data as much as possible. But this is the web, and
  79       they're not served over HTTPS, and people make mistakes. Take
  80       the kind of precautions you'd always take in talking to a remote
  81       server.
  82     </p><p>
  83       The <a href="webcart1000.js">webcart1000.js</a> script can be
  84       moved to your own server and loaded from there. I recommend this
  85       - it'll be faster and stabler. The <a href="o_o.js">o_o.js</a>
  86       script and HTML can't be moved unless you're going to make your own
  87       WEBCART1000 - which you can if you want, but it also kind of
  88       defeats the point.
